Colors has sent across a media statement on controversy over the title of its new show, Gurbani. We are producing it as it is… Colors, India’s leading General Entertainment Channel (Channel) has said it has taken note of the recent news reports and the concerns voiced by various Sikh organizations such as Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) Amritsar, Jathedar Akal Takhat Sahib over the title of its upcoming fiction show <em>Gurbani</em> slated to go on air today (18 March 2013) at 10.30 pm. <strong>Below is the official statement from Colors: </strong>

The acronym NRI brings forth dollar dreams in the Indian marriage market. Many of the NRI grooms are gentlemen who turn out to be responsible husbands. However, there are many NRIs who abandon their newly-wed wives soon after the wedding and never return.

Colors’ upcoming show <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/colors-next-gurbani-inspired-true-stories>Gurbani</a> (Mystic Productions and Colosceum Productions) is all set to launch from 18 March 2013. The female leads in the show are completely new to the industry. Shefali Sharma who essays the title role of Gurbani is from Amritsar. The other girl Neha Bagga who plays Gurbani’s cousin sister Rajji is based out of Chandigarh.

It was earlier reported that Color’s next <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/colors-next-gets-its-title-gurbani>Gurbani</a> (Mystic Entertainment and Colosseum Media) will be replacing Colors’ <em>Parichay</em> (Balaji Telefilms) on 18 March 2013. However, the latest we hear is that the serial is inspired by true stories. The screenplay starts in a small village of Punjab where Rano dressed as a bride waits at the Station… runs after the train which is supposed to bring back her husband… she impatiently scans through every face which alights at the station … but to no avail!

We had earlier reported about <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/rishi-khurana-ravi-ojhas-next-zee-tv>Rishi Khurana</a> who was last seen in Sony Entertainment Televisions’ <em>Saas Bina Sasural</em> having bagged Zee TV’s next <em><a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/after-madhubala-umeish-yamgaar-strikes-gold-bringing-back-sanjeeda-sheikh-and-additi-gupta>Badalte Rishton Ki Dastaan</a></em> (Ravi Ojha Productions).

After giving his nod to be part of Sony Entertainment Television’s upcoming show <em>Modern Bahu</em>, Ashish got associated with Fremantle India’s upcoming show on Colors, titled <em>Lifeline</em>.

Sooraj Thapar who was last seen in SAB TV’s Bhai Bhaiyya Aur Brother, returns to the small screen with yet another challenging role in Colors’ upcoming show, titled Gurbani. The show which will focus on the plight of women who get deserted by their NRI grooms (social malaise prevalent in regions of Punjab) will replace Parichhay at the 10.30 PM slot from mid-March. The show is being jointly produced by Damini Shetty’s Mystic Productions and Colosceum Productions.

New face Shefali will be playing the female lead.
