Subscribe to dish network and tune in to Star Plus for this controversial show. Star Plus on Dish network...“Mitwaa Phool Kamal Ke.” As the saying goes, it’s amidst the nastiest muck that lotuses bloom. “Mitwaa Phool Kamal Ke” is an innocent love story amidst the troubling traditions. It is mainly based on caste issues where people are ready to pull swords to protect their pretentious honor.

This show is set in rural India with a very traditional background of an upper caste Hindu family, led by Maamchand Choudhry. Pregnant mothers are made to undergo illegal sonographies to figure out if the child is a boy or a girl. If the baby is a girl then the baby is terminated. This is a world where caste and creed decides not only everyone’s fate but their life as well. The traditions are so concrete that any deviations from the set caste rules end up in “honor killing” or dying to protect what you believe in. Maamchand Choudhry and his sons are the ones who set such rules. It’s in this family that a newly wed bride, Sargam finds herself. It’s here that she sees her elder jethani is forced to quietly undergo a forced termination of her girl child. It’s here that Sargam discovers through a sonography that her child is a girl. She decides to lie and say it’s a boy and still give birth to it.

“Mitwa - Phool Kamal Ke” is the story of Sargam’s young girl child, Bela. After she was discovered, She is brought up in isolation, so that the family didn’t lose face in society on having lied about the birth of a boy. This would look bad on the family because they created those rules!

This is also the story of a harassed, and angry young lower caste guy, who has vowed to avenge his parent’s death. His parents were victims of the ridiculous caste system too. His father was a lowly man and his mother had upper caste blood in her veins. Their only sin was that they defied the caste system and fell in love. Their punishment was death in the name of honor. He grew up breeding tremendous hatred inside him against the society where honor killing is the answer to love. What happens when pure hate meets pure love…?

What emerges is the ultimate, most innocent love story. Set against the backdrop of the dirty secrets of bias towards girls. Will society doom the relationship from the start? Or, will love be able to surmount all odds, & bloom, just as a lotus does surrounded by muck as the saying goes?
