Carefree and bubbly, Meher Kaur Dhillon falls in love with Manav Sharma and gets pregnant with his child. Meher's mother, Kulwant Kaur Dhillon, who is sarpanch of the village, and also a very proud and arrogant woman refuses to accept financially unstable Manav and thus stabs him and throws him into a river. She forces Meher to marry Sarabjit Singh Gill, the widowed president of Amritsar, who also has a 5-year-old son Paramjit so that she could become the MLA and also ensure Meher gets married into a rich and secure family. To save her unborn child from Kulwant, Meher agrees to the marriage.

On the wedding night, Meher reveals her pregnancy to Sarab, who initially gets very upset. Meher however develops a very close bond with Param. Meher intends to leave the two and reside in Serbia with her unborn son, however, she and Sarab realize their love for each other. Sarab accepts her child. Sarab's sister, Harleen finds out the truth about Meher's pregnancy and pretends to accept it for Sarab. Meher gives birth to a son, Karanjit Singh Gill. Manav and Sarab’s half-sister, Aditi, come into Sarab and Meher’s life. Many trials and tribulations occur, including the fight over Karan’s custody, nonetheless, everything is sorted out in the end. Aditi and Manav fall in love and marry and Karan remains with Sarab and Meher. Later on, Meher is jailed for the allegation of murdering her brother Jagga and Sarab fails to save her.

5 years later

[edit]

Meher has been bailed and resides in Kashmir with her daughter, Seher. Sarab, Karan and Param return to India from abroad and meet them unexpectedly. Later, it is revealed that the Gills' accountant, Tarkash killed Jagga to get some past revenge from Meher and gets jailed. Sarab reconciles with Meher, and also accepts Seher. He also unites Meher with her alive father, Trilochan Singh Dhillon, who Meher thought was dead for all these years. However sadly later, Sarab and Meher both die in a car accident.

16 years later

[edit]

Param, Karan and Seher are grown up. Seher befriends Rajveer Singh Babbar, who immediately falls in love with her. However, Seher was already engaged to her lover, Kunal Malhotra, who is later killed by Rajveer's CM sister, Harshdeep. Finally, Seher and Rajveer marry and soon fall in love. Rajveer leaves Harshdeep upon knowing she killed Kunal, and moves to the Gill mansion. It is revealed that Seher's cousin, Khushi Bajwa loved Rajveer and also had a 4-year-old child named Prince whose real father is her friend Avinash Gupta. After Khushi leaves, Seher and Rajveer adopt Prince.

Kulwant reveals to Seher about her illegitimate granddaughter, Mannat Kaur who was left by her due to social fear. Grown up, she now lives in Dalhousie with her mother Harnoor, who later dies after revealing to Mannat about Dhillons. Seher decides to get Mannat back. Mannat comes across Dolly's grandson, Zorawar Singh Randhawa in Dalhousie, and then arrives in Attari to live with Gills and Dhillons, hiding her identity. Later, Kulwant finds Mannat's truth and reunites with her. Eventually, Seher and others too find that Mannat is Bittu and Harnoor's daughter.

Later, Zorawar and Mannat falls in love with each other. However, Kulwant decides to get Mannat married to Nirvair and Dolly decides to get Zorawar married to Scarlet. However, Kulwant later gives in to Mannat's demands and gets her married to Zorawar.

Production

[edit]

Development

[edit]

Based in Amritsar, Punjab, the series is mainly filmed in Mumbai.[6] In November 2019, the honeymoon sequence was filmed in Serbia.[7]

On 12 September 2019, the filming was held for three hours due to the fight by the workers’ union and Allied Mazdoor Union with producers owing to due in payments.[8]

Casting

[edit]

In February 2021, the show took a 5 years leap and female child artist Kevina Tak, who played as Param, roped to play as Meher and Sarab's daughter, Seher. Child artists Aekam Binjwe, Gaurika Sharma and Dhan Tejas entered to play as Param, Karan and Yuvi after leap.

In July 2021, it was announced that the show would take a leap of 16 years and Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia will play the role of her daughter Seher. It was officially confirmed with the release of the promo showing the 16 year leap with new characters Mahir Pandhi and Varun Toorkey, whereas the exit of Avinesh Rekhi, Anita Raj and other supporting actors.[9] Actors Shehzada Dhami and Adhik Mehta roped to play as adult Param and Karan.[10] However, Anita Raj and Mansi Sharma returned as Kulwant Kaur and Harleen Gill in late 2021 and then few more supporting actors came back in January/February 2022.[clarification needed]

In December 2021, Shehzada Dhami quit the show and Vineet Raina replaces him.[11][12] In February 2022, Raina too quit and was replaced by Hitanshu Jinsi.[13]

In March 2022, it was announced that Nimrit Ahluwalia is leaving the show due to her health issues and Mahir Pandhi is leaving too.[14] Amandeep Sidhu announced to play the role of Mannat Kaur[15] and Dishank Arora, Salman Shaikh was approached to play Zoravar Singh, new male lead of the show, but Gaurav S Bajaj replaced them. In late March 2022, it was announced that Hitanshu Jinsi is quitting the show.[16]

Filming

[edit]

The production and airing of the show was halted indefinitely in late March 2020 due to the coronavirus outbreak.[17] The filming resumed after three months and the show started airing again on 13 July 2020.[18][19] During the break, the main actors Rekhi, Ahluwalia and Tak shot a few episodes from their homes during the nationwide lockdown which streamed under Lockdown Special Episodes on Colors TV's official digital platform Voot.[20]

The production was halted for few days from 1 September 2020 after Krishna Soni tested positive for coronavirus.[21]

Cancellation

[edit]

In early May 2022, it was announced that Choti Sarrdaarni will telecast its last episode on 27 May 2022 but it didn't. Then on 10 June 2022, it telecasted its last episode.[citation needed]

Reception

[edit]

Critical response

[edit]

The initial promo based on Gurudwara background of the series created disappointment between the Sikhs and a complaint protesting it was written to the channel by All India Sikh Students Federation as they considered some portrayal hurting their sentiments.

Ratings

[edit]

In week 41 of 2020, it became the fourth most watched Hindi show in urban with 5.281 million impressions.[22]
