NEW DELHI: Pubcaster Doordarshan is going all out to strengthen its content offering to its viewers. And in keeping with that, the channel will launch a new series ‘Aisa Prem Kahan’ starting 16 June. The series captures the unique story of a romance born out of the mayhem of the tsunami set against the renaissance of Bengal.

The series will telecast from Monday to Friday at 1.30 pm on DD National.

The over-riding element in the story comes when a storm over a waterway brings hurricane in the life of four characters: Ramesh, Kamla, Hemnalini, Shusheela and Dr Mahesh.

The story shows how the four characters are hit by social and natural calamities, thereby leading to a tragedy pulling them towards inescapable circumstances hurtling towards an apocalypse.

This ‘edgy-romantic’ tale weaves a complex saga of mistaken identity. It is the story of deep faith and undying love of Ramesh and Hem Nalini tested to the limit by an almost unimaginable twist of fate. Its charm lies in the lingering aftertaste of the “enduring pleasure in pain".
