Their seemingly perfect relationship faces a crucial test when unexpected situations prompt a spontaneous marriage proposal. As wedding preparations unfold in Tara’s home, intergenerational conflicts and hidden truths begin to emerge.

So, brace yourself for a rollercoaster of emotions as this heart-wrenching yet uplifting tale juggles between family dynamics, personal demons, and the courageous journey towards redemption.
Sobhita Dhulipala said, “Playing Sitara has been a very meaningful journey for me, a coming-of-age in real life. Sitara is a character with interesting complexes – a successful interior designer attempting to understand the reasons for her own choices, her family dynamics and the patterns we inherit from family, unknowingly.
What drew me to this role is that it’s the story of a girl who finds the courage to shatter her conditioning and be honest to herself no matter what. She is a family girl at heart and will stand for what she believes in, even if it is not easy. There is something dignified, relatable and real in Sitara’s personality that all women connect to. We shot this sweet family drama in Kerala, while navigating some very unique challenges during Covid lockdowns. I do hope this humble, heartfelt story moves you the way it moved the whole of our cast and crew.”
Get ready for a whirlwind of emotions, secrets, and revelations as ‘Love, Sitara’ premieres on ZEE5 Global on September 27th!
