Right from films like We Are Family to Hichki, he has showcased love, relationships, and changes in ideologies in ways that are complex yet relatable. Having conceptualized and created this series, he said, “The show is about love and relationships and what they mean to three different generations. All three stories have been drawn from real life experiences of people and questions the concept of love and it says that love not idealistic, let’s be realistic.Life is not black and white anymore, it’s grey. The show basically deals the grey shades of life.”
Along with Siddharth P Malhotra, Shaad Ali has also created the show. Having given blockbuster successes likeSaathiya and OK Jaanu, he has a unique take on new age love stories that seems to be his forte. He is also the director of the series ‘Pawan and Pooja’. Speaking about the series, he said,“The stories and the situations are so real, they stories could be anybody’s. It’s a story about couples and love, but it will show you a very different aspect of it. Every single character is superbly etched out, and each of the actors have just taken it to another level, it’s their show, really.”
Helming the directorial tag with Shaad Ali is Ajay Bhuyan and talking about his experience on shooting Pawan and Pooja, he said, “When in a relationship, it’s never the superficial things about each other that will make a relationship last. It’s always the small things, the intricacies of a couple’s know-how that make a relationship last. Keeping this in mind, we created the series ‘Pawan and Pooja”.
