Sony Entertainment Television is ramping up primetime viewing with the launch of two shows – ‘Hum Rahein Na Rahein Hum’ Co Powered by Smith & Jones Pasta Masala and ‘Sapnon Ki Chhalaang’ Co Powered by Ching’s Secret Schezwan Chutney.

Starting April 10 will air every Monday to Friday at 9.00 pm and 9.30 pm respectively.

‘Hum Rahein Na Rahein Hum’ delves into the lives of two strong-willed women from two diametrically opposing societal settings, each inspirational in their respective worlds. This captivating story follows the journeys of Damayanti, the principled traditionalist matriarch of the royal Barot family based in Ranakgadh while Surilii is a vibrant and modern-thinking young girl from Mumbai.

The show focuses on how people naturally resist change since it often causes fear and prompts one of two responses: fighting or running away. Kitu Gidwani portrays Damayanti Barot, Tina Datta plays Surilii Ahluwalia, and Jay Bhanushali plays Shivendra Barot in this true-to-life but the motivational story.

These two women’s efforts to preserve their familial traditions are similar despite their drastically opposed approaches.

Set in her ways, Damayanti is trying to save the honor and customs of her family while Surilii, who goes with the flow is giving her all in trying to protect the memories and legacy of her parents.

Produced by Swastik Productions, ‘Hum Rahein Na Rahein Hum’ is a remake of the popular Turkish drama ‘İstanbullu Gelin’ (Bride of Istanbul) that will air on Sony Entertainment Television every Monday to Friday at 9:00 pm, from April 10.

Whereas, ‘Sapnon Ki Chhalaang’ offers viewers a distinctive perspective into the life of Radhika Yadav, a girl filled with grit and determination from Jhansi who wants to make it big in the metropolis of Mumbai.

Starring the promising actress Megha Ray as the protagonist Radhika, the show follows her leap of faith to an alien city to fulfill her dreams while wanting to prove to her parents, Radheshyam Yadav, played by Sanjivv Jotangia and Suman Yadav, played by Kashish Duggal that she can stand on her own feet and take care of them.

But to succeed, Radhika must overcome the challenges of moving to a new city, handling the pressures of her first job and tough boss along with living with her three roommates – Sreemoyi Banerjee (Sadhwi Majumder), Vaishali Tiwari (Anushubdha Bhagat) and Preeti Dhingra, (Alma Hussein) – all of whom come from very diverse backgrounds.

An Invictus T Mediaworks production, this coming-of-age drama will air on Sony Entertainment Television (SET) every Monday to Friday at 9:30 pm, from 10th April.
