‘Pre-Independence era; a love saga full of hope & aspirations’

Mumbai, Jan 27: Continuing its endeavour to bring well-researched, differentiated and relevant shows to its viewers, Sony Entertainment Television is all set to launch Kyun Utthe Dil Chod Aaye started on Januaey 25. Set in the pre-partition era, in the year 1947, the show traces the journey of three young women – Amrit, Vashma and Radha. Based in Lahore, a city that was culturally rich and progressive; where writers and poets thrived with passion; where people enjoyed a dynamic milieu, these three young women, on the threshold of adulthood, were hoping to realise their dreams, hope, aspirations and love. But with the changing fate of the country, how did life change for them? What did the new Independent India hold in store for them? Produced by Shashi Sumeet Productions, known for their distinct narratives, and bringing alive an era on television, Kyun Utthe Dil Chod Aaye premieres tonight and will air every Mon-Fri at 9:00PM only on Sony Entertainment Television.
Music plays an important part in this narrative and well-known music director Uttam Singh, known for his contributions to films like Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, Pinjar and many others has composed the title track for the show.
Amrit Sahni, all of 17, having a flair for writing, pens her thoughts secretly as Ranjhan. Being a female love story writer of that time, she lives in the constant underlying fear of being exposed as Ranjhan.
