MUMBAI : Sony Entertainment Television's latest offering, "Kuch Reet Jagat Ki Aisi Hai," is a thought-provoking show, following Nandini's journey, who is deeply rooted in tradition but also raises objections to any belief that disregards the dignity of a woman. This groundbreaking show puts the spotlight on the prevailing Dahej Pratha that plagues our society, with Nandini making a powerful demand – “mujhe mera dahej waapas chahiye”. At the heart of "Kuch Reet Jagat Ki Aisi Hai" is Meera Deosthale's portrayal of Nandini and her character serves as a beacon of strength, challenging age-old beliefs that demean the self-respect of women.

Based in Gujarat, the show sees Nandini living with her mama-mami and her brother, Meet. She has her morals and values and is very respectful of her elders, but she believes in taking a stand whenever she sees something going wrong. Speaking about playing this character, actor Meera Deosthale said, “I believe this is a story that needs to be told, more people need to question the kureet that exists in our society, and I am so excited about playing a character with such a strong purpose. I believe daughters are meant for love, not commodification in the name of dowry, and this is the lasting impression that I want to make with my portrayal in this show. Nandini didn’t know that dahej was exchanged at the time of her wedding, but the show will follow her courageous journey, despite being in a happy married life, wherein she decides to stand up against her in-laws and says, “Mujhe mera dahej waapas chahiye””.

“Dahej waapsi ki pehli pukaar” is the impactful message that the new promo of this show leaves you with. Watch the video here:
