JioHotstar has announced its latest original series ‘Ziddi Ishq’, a passionate romantic drama that delves into the complexities of love, longing, and emotional vulnerability.

Starring Aaditi Pohankar, Barkha Bisht, and Parambrata Chattopadhyay in lead roles, the series is created and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Raj Chakraborty and is set to premiere on November 21, exclusively on JioHotstar.

According to a press report, ‘Ziddi Ishq’ brings an intense portrayal of unrequited love through the eyes of Mehul, played by Aaditi Pohankar.

The teaser offers a poignant glimpse into Mehul’s world — a woman who loves with every fiber of her being, even when her affection is not returned. For her, Shekhar Da, portrayed by Parambrata Chattopadhyay, isn’t just someone she loves; he’s a haunting presence that shadows every part of her life. The teaser captures her quiet heartbreak, suppressed emotions, and the turmoil of loving beyond limits.

Sharing his thoughts on the project, director Raj Chakraborty said, “Working on Ziddi Ishq has been an incredible experience. It is more than just a series to me — it’s an emotional journey about love, loss, and the fragile line where affection spirals into obsession. Mehul is such a layered character, and Aaditi has portrayed her with exceptional depth and sincerity. Parambrata and the rest of the cast have truly given their all to this story. Now that the teaser is out, I hope audiences are as excited to experience this world on JioHotstar as we were while creating it.”

Actress Aaditi Pohankar, known for her performances in She and Aashram, expressed her excitement about the role, saying, “When I was first approached for this role, I was deeply intrigued by Mehul. She is a simple Bengali girl with emotions so intense that I had to say yes! Mehul feels different — she’s raw, vulnerable, and completely driven by her one-sided love. As the story unfolds, her love grows stronger and gives her the courage to face life’s unexpected twists. It was both a challenging and fulfilling experience, and I am grateful to Raj for being such a wonderful mentor. I can’t wait for viewers to see Ziddi Ishq on JioHotstar.”

With its powerful performances, evocative storytelling, and emotionally charged direction, ‘Ziddi Ishq’ promises to be a gripping tale that explores the fine line between love and obsession. The series is expected to resonate deeply with audiences who appreciate stories rooted in passion, vulnerability, and human emotion.
