The new series is about the modern way of narrating the Vishwamitra and Maneka’s love story. The new show was unveiled with a teaser launch held in Mumbai. The teaser of the TV show has managed to build ample interest among the viewers without revealing too much. The story goes like Maneka seduced Vishwamitra to break his meditation and on this concept, it would be interesting to see the modern version of the story.
