Shruti Sharma reveals Amazon MX Player’s Mitti helped her reconnect with her family in hometown Lucknow

Mumbai, July 23, 2025: Ever since its premiere, Mitti, the latest offering from Amazon MX Player, Amazon’s free video streaming service, has been winning hearts for beautifully capturing what it truly means to return home. At the heart of this story is Raghav, an ambitious city man who finds himself back in his ancestral village, where old ties, buried emotions, and forgotten promises begin to stir something within. The series is bound to strike a heartfelt chord with anyone who’s ever moved away from home, only to realise that some parts of us always stay behind. With moving performances by Ishwak Singh, Shruti Sharma, Diksha Juneja, Yogendra Tiku, and Alka Amin, the show leans into emotion with honesty and restraint.

For Shruti Sharma, who plays a steady, comforting Kratika, the experience hit closer to home than expected. She shared, “We shot the whole show in Lucknow, which also happens to be my hometown. Because of Mitti, I got to spend an entire month there — with my cousins, my uncle, and my grandmother. That’s not something I get to do often, and it felt like such a gift during shoot days. I got to relive all those little joys — playing Ludo, badminton, just sitting together and chatting. It really brought back the warmth I grew up with.”

Mitti is now streaming for free exclusively on the Amazon MX Player app on mobile and Connected TVs, on the Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Airtel Xstream.
