Sony SAB is set to present its upcoming show Yaadein, the Indian adaptation of the globally acclaimed Italian series DOC - Nelle Tue Mani, which has been successfully adapted across multiple countries. Built around the theme of second chances in life, love, and identity, the show follows the extraordinary journey of a brilliant Dr. Dev (Iqbal Khan), who reconstructs his world after losing eight years of his memory in an accident.
For Iqbal Khan, the idea of second chances is deeply personal. Speaking about the theme, he shared the story of a close friend whose life changed completely after she was given a second chance. What moved him was not the turning point itself, but what came after. He shared that his friend, instead of trying to go back to her old life, chose to move ahead differently. Her outlook changed. She began to slow down and live more consciously. From the way she ate to how she spent her time and who she surrounded herself with, her choices became more thoughtful. She slowly let go of old habits and negativity that no longer added value to her life and started living with greater presence and awareness.
