Colors replaces 'Havan' with new fiction ?Kairi ? Rishta Khatta Meetha? from 2 April

MUMBAI: Colors is launching a fiction show, ?Kairi ? Rishta Khatta Meetha?, at 7 pm from 2 April.

Produced by Shashi-Sumeet Mittal, the show will air from Monday to Friday. It will replace ?Havan? , produced by Rajan Shahi?s Director?s Kut.

The story of the show will revolve around the lives of the sweet tyrant mother-in-law ? Imarti Devi, her daughter-in-law - Ambi?s struggle, and her son Anuj who?s living an indifferent life in the midst of the son/husband dilemma. The show emphasises on what transpires in a household when two strong and contrasting personalities clash under the same roof.

Colors fiction head Prashaant Bhatt said, ?The storyline of Kairi is different in its presentation and characterisation. By introducing Kairi in the 7 pm time band, we are now providing differentiated content to our viewers in all time slots, thereby satiating their need for distinctive entertainment options."

Shashi-Sumeet Productions? Shashi Mittal and Sumeet Mittal added, ?Kairi is a light-hearted take on the sweet and sour relationship shared by a ?saas? and her ?bahu?. While discussing the concept of the show and the script, our main aim was to ensure that the lead characters created interesting moments that would connect with the viewer. Audiences can be rest assured that Kairi will move beyond conventional saas-bahu dramas as the relationship between a saas, her bahu and their common love ? the son, is explored in deep."
