Pehredaar Piya Ki

An online petition has been moved for a ban on the TV show, which has been described as 'obnoxious and perverted' content that can 'severely impact impressionable minds of children'. 'Pehredaar Piya Ki', which means 'guardian of the lover' raised a lot of eyebrows with its launch last month. Viewers and actors felt that the Indian small screen has hit a new low after 'Sasural Simar Ka', where the title character Simar would incessantly shape shift to 'dayan' or 'makkhi' or some other mystical creature.

A girl aged 18 married to a nine-year-old boy having her 'suhag raat' and even enjoying a honeymoon may sound cringe-worthy and regressive to many, but actress Tejaswi Prakash does not see anything wrong with the storyline of her Hindi television show 'Pehredaar Piya Ki'. She says it's 'progressive' content.
