India's leading Hindi General Entertainment Channel, Zee TV offers you a fresh entertainer that will let you unwind every weeknight with an interesting bittersweet tale of two culturally divergent families coming together told in a 'slice of life' genre.

Opposites attract! That's probably not the first time you heard the adage ... After all, love does have a strange knack of blossoming between two souls as different as chalk and cheese.

But what happens when the two bipolar opposites who fall in love also happen to hail from two very different worlds with precious little in common?

Well, that's when you have a ' Ram Milaayi Jodi '! Anuklap , a shy, soft-spoken boy from a conservative Gujarati family and Mona , a bubbly, spunky girl from a hearty Punjabi family ... A blissful union "tailored to perfection" in match- making heaven! Or is it?

Premiering on Zee TV at 9:30 PM on Monday, 20th September, 'Preet Se Bandhi Ye Dori Ram Milaayi Jodi' is a heart-warming drama that presents an interesting take on the myriad differences between two Indian communities brought together by two people in love. Cast as Anukalp and Mona are fresh faces Nishant Malkani and Priyal Gor.

Playing the Gujarati and Punjabi family members with flair is a fine assortment of well-known faces inlcuding Krutika Desai, Lalit Tiwari, Riva Bubber, Chitrapama and Suneel Sinha.

"Preet Se Bandhi Ye Dori Ram Milaayi Jodi is a celebration of India's admirable sense of secularism and tolerance that exist between the various communities that not only comfortably coexist but amicably inter-mingle on its soil," said Mr.

Nitin Vaidya, Business Head- Zee TV & COO- ZEEL . "Yes, there are bound to be differences in the cultural make-up, traditions and value systems across the communities but beauty lies in India's ability to look past these divides and accept & embrace each other at the end.

This is what is truly reflected in the spirit of the show!"

Akash Chawla, Marketing Head, Zee TV said, "With 'Preet Se Bandhi Ye Dori Ram Milaayi Jodi' replacing an immensely successful 'Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo' at the 9:30 PM slot, Zee TV is leaving no stone unturned in ensuring that there is enormous buzz in India surrounding its latest offering.
