    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.
