Speaking about the launch, Nina Jaipuria, Head, Hindi Mass Entertainment and Kids TV network Viacom18, said – “COLORS has always created visually extravagant and immersive experiences for our viewers. Sitaara is a girl of high integrity is willing to stand by her convictions at all times, and against all people, even when it means standing up against people who might have cared for her. The story takes a sharp turn when Sitaara embarks on a journey that forces her to choose between good and bad. Falling in love with the pretty Vrinda marks the beginning of Kuldip and the king’s downfall. Abandoned in her infancy by her mother, she is brought up by her father Kuldip Shekavat who is a loyal palace manager to King Shivdaan Singh. Vish Ya Amrit: Sitaara is set in Vikralgadh village in Rajasthan and traces the journey of Sitaara, who is oblivious to her own identity. Known for their beauty, vishkanyas used seduction to escape dangerous situations and bring empires to their knees. The show boasts of a stellar star cast, with Adaa Khan playing the title role of Sitaara, Shilpa Saklani (Vrinda)Sandeep Baswana (Kuldip Shekavat) and Shakti Anand (King Shivdaan Singh) amongst others.Ĭenturies ago Indian rulers trained girls to become assassins, first making them immune to poison and then – by slowly introducing poison into their systems – turning them venomous.

COLORS’ newest offering, Vish Ya Amrit: Sitaara will see a beautiful portrayal of this concept that was once considered extremely powerful to combat enemies or take revenge. But folklores surrounding their existence have always fascinated viewers across age groups. Historically speaking, the cloak of mystery concealed the identity of Vishkanyas for too long. Produced by Rashmi Sharma Telefilms, the show will premiere on 3rd December 2018, Monday - Friday 10:30 pm only on COLORS.

COLORS, India’s leading premium Hindi entertainment channel is strengthening its leadership in the fantasy and supernatural genre with the launch of ‘Vish Ya Amrit: Sitaara’ – a stunning recreation of the Vishakanya folklore that existed from the time of Chandragupta Maurya.
