Sony Entertainment Television’s historical show - Punyashlok Ahilyabai is based on the honourable life of Queen Ahilyabai Holkar, who with the support of her father-in-law Malhar Rao Holkar, defied the pre-defined societal norms and made positive contributions for the welfare of people and particularly women.  

The show depicts how even from the young age, Ahilya was an extra-ordinary girl. She dared to dream and refused to simply abide by the unjust rules of the society. In the current track of the show, an eager to learn Ahilya wishes to get a formal education even when her own parents discourage her from pursuing the same. Ahilya wants to be considered an equal  and treated the same way as her husband Khande Rao.
