An inspiring story of dreams and determination, the show features Amandeep Sidhu as the protagonist Baani and the show is brought to life by the powerhouse producer duo, Sargun Mehta and Ravi Dubey.

    ‘Badall Pe Paon Hai’ tells the story of Baani, a middle class, spirited girl with dreams as vast as the sky and a determination that knows no bounds. However, Baani’s ambition isn’t just for personal gain; her primary goal is to provide a better life for her family, pushing beyond the limitations life has imposed on them.

    As Baani’s aspirations grow, she ventures into the dynamic and often male-dominated world of stocks and trading. ‘Badall Pe Paon Hai’ showcases Baani’s relentless pursuit of success, highlighting her sacrifices, struggles, and the sheer willpower to turn her dreams into reality, one bold step at a time.

    Sony SAB business head Neeraj Vyas said, “Sony SAB goes beyond entertainment. We curate stories that are unique, and mirror the hopes, challenges, and aspirations of our audience. By presenting genuine and relatable characters, we forge a connection that resonates deeply. Television’s power lies in its ability to inspire, and that’s the cornerstone of our content strategy. Our upcoming launch ‘Badall Pe Paon Hai’ for example, is a testament to the unwavering pursuit of dreams, however unachievable they may appear. Through this show, we aim to inspire our viewers, urging them to believe in their infinite ability, embrace their dreams and persevere even when the path seems daunting.”

This is especially important for women who usually have odds stacked against them when it comes to achieving their ambitions. Shows like this play a vital role in dismantling those limitations. By amplifying powerful female narratives, we empower more women to dream fearlessly and believe in their own potential.  I believe these stories are essential on television and there couldn’t have been a better channel than Sony SAB to showcase this story of Badall Pe Paon Hai.”
