July 23, 2020: As India’s leading Hindi
General Entertainment Channel and a responsible broadcaster, Zee TV has
provided cutting-edge content over the past 27 years that has not just entertained its audience but also
given them a reason to introspect and evolve. Inspiring its viewers to think
beyond the conventional and question some age-old, redundant societal norms,
Zee TV introduced the show PunarVivaah in 2012 - as an attempt to negate
the social stigma around remarriage and ask a pertinent question – If men can
remarry after the death of a spouse or following a divorce, why do we judge
women differently when it comes to marrying a second time? At a time when
giving life a second chance is the need of the hour, Zee TV brings back a show
that celebrates this very philosophy on public demand.
Starting 27th July 2020, at 7 PMeveryday,
PunarVivah is a
mature, progressive show that sensitively captures the journey of a man and a
woman, who having faced a debacle in their first attempts at marriage, are
brave enough to give life a second chance. The show delves into the dynamics of
re-marriage, showcasing the trials and tribulations that are a part of
re-adjusting to a second life partner. What makes the re-marriage of Yash and
Aarti even more challenging is the fact that the man and the woman in question
are both parents to young children. Will the two be able to bring happiness to
each others’ lives and feel complete once again? Will the two feel the same
intensity and excitement that they had experienced in their first brush with
love? Will their children be able to come to terms with the idea of having a
new parent enter their lives? Watch the show to find out …
Lending a rare intensity and depth to the male protagonist Yash is handsome actor Gurmeet Chaudhary. His portrayal of the quiet, arrogant, widowed father of two had blown audiences away. KratikaSengar, widely remembered for her role as the sword-wielding Rani Laxmibai in Zee TV’s historical drama Jhansi Ki Rani, charging away on horseback and fighting with unmatched zeal for her soil, is seen as Aarti, a woman who hasn't lost her spunk, charm or positivity despite a painful divorce.
Commenting about the
show’s return, actor Gurmeet Choudhary said, “PunarVivah was my last
television show. It is a show which holds a special place in my heart. After
the massive success of the show, Bollywood started opening many doors for me.
PunarVivah gave me a worldwide recognition, I will always be grateful for. I
believe everyone deserves a second chance at love, no matter what is in their
past and I am extremely glad that I got the opportunity to be a part of a show
that was so influential and ground-breaking in the message it conveys. Despite
re-marriage being a deep-rooted cultural taboo in society, it was a delightful
surprise to see the love pouring in from an audience who supported and believed
in the concept of our show. It gives me immense pride and joy to think that
this show is still relevant to our audiences and will continue to change and
challenge the stereotypical perception that some pockets of individuals in our
country still hold towards this social norm. I hope the love from the viewers
remains the same and that they keep supporting us, just like they did before.”
Actor KratikaSengar
shared, “I am thrilled to know that PunarVivah is making a comeback on Zee
TV. I hold this show very dear to my heart and more so because, it dealt with a
subject that was considered sensitive yet a critical topic to be spoken about
in the society. Portraying Aarti gave me a lot to learn including the fact that
love indeed conquers all and everybody deserves a second chance. The amount of
love that the show has received has been a surreal experience for me and now
that it is going on air once again to reach out to many more people; it truly
is an overwhelming feeling. I sincerely hope the audience keeps loving us equally
and they have a great time re-watching PunarVivaah.”
