Azaad, the Hindi general entertainment channel, has unveiled ‘Kasturi’, a story inspired by the life of Padmashri Rajkumari Devi, popularly known as ‘Kisan Chachi’ (Farmer Aunty).

It shows the story of a village girl, who broke conventional myths with her spontaneous grit and determination to become independent, self-supportive, and a big crusader for social change.

The show is based in a village near Patna and will showcase how a young Kasturi lives her journey from living with her parents, younger sister, and grandmother to adjusting to post-marital issues and becoming an independent farmer, and teaching new farming techniques to other farmers, which got her the coveted Padmashri Award.

The show has been produced by Ideaz Pictures, founded by Rajeev Singh.

The character of the show’s protagonist, ‘Kasturi’, is played by Tamanna Deepak, runner-up of the show ‘India’s Best Dramebaaz’ in 2016.

‘Kasturi’ will air on Azaad from Monday to Saturday at 8.30 pm. The show will also stream on MX Player.
