The protagonists are Shyamlee (Snigdha Akolkar, left), who is in love with Siddhant (Swapnil Joshi), but is forced to marry Vikam (Mihir Mishra). By the end of the show, Shyamlee changes from a teenager to a woman of strength.
Kumud Choudhary, head of programming for SaharaOne Television, says of Shyamlee: "She's no different from your sister, from your mother. She's an ordinary person with an extraordinary story." Choudhary added that Shyamlee is 'spunky' and 'has a mind of her own.'
The serial aims to help the viewers look inward and think whether marriage is about hare kanch ki choodiyan (the green bangles that signify marriage) or hathkadiyan (handcuffs). It asks if the institution of marriage still works.
Choudhary says the show is also about family relationships but is essentially an 'intriguing love story.'
Hare Kkanch Ki Choodiyan is aired at 3:30 pm from Mondays to Thursdays on Sahara TV.
