Sony Entertainment Television presents “Kavya – Ek Jazbaa, Ek Junoon” breaking stereotypes
Mumbai: Continuing its legacy of compelling storytelling brought to life by powerful characters that break the mold on Indian television, Sony Entertainment Television is all set to launch its next fiction offering – “Kavya – Ek Jazbaa Ek Junoon”. A reflection of women’s strides in contemporary times, the show stars Sumbul Touqeer Khan in the titular role as Kavya Bansal, who is driven by the sole purpose to be an IAS Officer and serve the common man. With its riveting take on societal dynamics, dreams, and relationships – the show premieres tonight at 7.30 pm and will air every Monday to Friday on Sony Entertainment Television.
Kavya symbolises fearlessness and determination, and this coming-of-age story chronicles her courageous journey of facing challenges with an unwavering resolve, of asking tough questions and staying focused on her purpose in being an IAS officer who can help less privileged citizens. The show also sparks contemplation on why some men may find it challenging to support a woman’s career aspirations.
Sumbul is joined by Mishkat Varma, who masterfully portrays Adhiraj, a brilliant mind blessed with captivating charm. Adhiraj ardently champions the cause of feminism, wholeheartedly celebrating women’s achievements, and he crosses paths with Kavya at the civil service academy. Anuj Sullere breathes life into Shubham, Kavya’s estranged fiancé who is a character entangled in the complexities of love and ambition.
“Kavya – Ek Jazbaa Ek Junoon” takes its audience on a profound exploration of various characters and their nuances. The show is poised to be an engaging addition to Sony Entertainment Television’s programming lineup, offering a distinctive fusion of drama, romance, and societal commentary.
Sony Entertainment Television, Sony SAB, PAL, and Sony MAX movie cluster business head Neeraj Vyas: “Kavya – Ek Jazbaa, Ek Junoon” is about shattering stereotypes and reflects women’s strides in contemporary times. This show is an ode to inspiring women who are driven by their goals and have successfully made a mark for themselves in fields like civil service, politics, business, and entertainment, amongst others. We have always been at the forefront of curating novel content and this progressive narrative of Kavya being an aspirant to becoming an aspiration of millions deserves to be told.”
Kavya – Ek Jazbaa, Ek Junoon producers Tony Singh and Deeya Singh:
We are very excited to bring viewers a story that entertains and inspires with ‘Kavya – Ek Jazbaa, Ek Junoon’. Women today are independent, goal-oriented, and confident about their achievements, and the sky is her limit. We are delighted to join hands with Sony Entertainment Television for this show that emphasizes how a woman can unapologetically choose her life direction and stay committed to a larger purpose despite the hurdles she faces.
“Kavya – Ek Jazbaa, Ek Junoon” premieres tonight and will air every Monday to Friday at 7.30 pm exclusively on Sony Entertainment Television.

MUMBAI: Star Plus is bringing the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita to life with Gita Mahotsav: Tulsi Ki Sang, a three-episode cultural event airing from 1–3 December at 6:30 pm. The special coincides with Gita Jayanti and reimagines the sacred teachings for today’s audiences through the lens of Tulsi Virani, portrayed by Smriti Irani.
Tulsi Virani, one of India’s most recognisable and trusted characters, lends emotional depth and cross-generational appeal to the series. Her impact is legendary: even Bill Gates once greeted her with “Jai Shri Krishna” during a Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi integration, highlighting her global resonance and the soft-power potential of India’s creative storytelling.
Smriti Irani said, “Returning as Tulsi for Gita Mahotsav has been grounding and creatively enriching. Audiences, especially younger viewers, are seeking stories with meaning and introspection. The Bhagavad Gita remains a treasure trove of wisdom, and bringing it to life for a new generation has been an honour.”
Gita Mahotsav: Tulsi Ki Sang bridges tradition and modernity, reflecting India’s evolving creative and spiritual economy. By blending iconic characters, cultural heritage, and contemporary storytelling, the series highlights the power of media to ignite curiosity, inspire reflection, and nurture a thriving creative landscape.
GOA: Prime Video clinched a major win at the 56th International Film Festival of India in Goa, with Bandish Bandits season two bagging the Best Web Series (OTT) title—adding more shine to the streamer’s runaway momentum in India’s streaming wars.
Produced by Leo Media Collective, the Amritpal Singh Bindra and Anand Tiwari-created musical drama trumped tough competition from Prime Video’s own nominees—Paatal Lok season two and Suzhal: The Vortex season two—securing the platform’s second victory since the award was instituted in 2023. Prime Video earlier snagged the trophy for Panchayat season two.
The award was handed over by Sanjay Jaju, secretary, ministry of information and broadcasting, and L Murugan, minister of state for information and broadcasting and parliamentary affairs. A jury led by filmmaker and producer Bharatbala Ganapathy, alongside producer R Mahendran, director-producer Munjal Shroff, actor Rajeshwari Sachdev and writer-director Sekhar Kumar Das, selected the winner.
Written by Tiwari with Atmika Didwania and Karan Singh Tyagi, the second chapter deepens the show’s mix of rivalry, ambition and romance as Radhe and Tamanna chase legacy and artistic glory in an all-India band championship. The cast features Ritwik Bhowmik, Shreya Chaudhry, Sheeba Chaddha, Atul Kulkarni, Rajesh Tailang, Kunaal Roy Kapur, Divya Dutta, Rohan Gurbaxani, Yashaswini Dayama, Aaliyah Qureshi and Saurabh Nayyar.
Released on Prime Video across more than 240 countries and territories in December 2024, the musical drama hit the right notes with critics and audiences alike.
With another trophy in the cabinet, Prime Video’s orchestra shows no signs of hitting a flat note.
