The
beautiful
and
demure
Sara
Khan
has
a
lot
on
her
plate
these
days.
The
actress
is
all
geared
up
to
support
the
cause
of
love
without
boundaries
as
she
premieres
the
‘Special
Episode
Series'
of
bindass'
cult
show
Yeh
Hai
Aashiqui.
The
show,
which
has
already
garnered
a
phenomenal
response
for
its
poignant
portrayal
of
unconventional
love
stories,
is
all
set
to
take
their
stance
up
a
notch
with
this
month
long
special.
Sara
will
be
the
first
celebrity
coming
on
board
to
take
a
determined
stand
on
topical
relationship
issues,
which
youngsters
in
the
Indian
society
have
to
deal
with.
Not
just
that,
for
the
first
time
in
her
career
the
spirited
young
actress
will
be
seen
playing
the
role
of
a
simple
Tamilian
girl
falling
in
love
with
a
Punjabi
boy
on
the
show.
Already
a
known
face
on
Indian
television,
Sara
gained
popularity
with
her
girl-next-door
image
on
prime
time
television
and
a
promising
stint
on
a
leading
reality
show.
However,
with
‘Yeh
Hai
Aashiqui',
the
actress
will
be
seen
venturing
into
new
territory
by
taking
up
a
distinctive
role
altogether.
This
time
round,
the
model-cum-actress
will
be
seen
as
the
female
protagonist
and
will
be
extending
her
heartfelt
support
for
the
cause
of
inter-caste
marriages,
which
are
still
considered
taboo
in
some
parts
of
our
society.
Talking
about
the
same,
Sara
said,
"Love
is
sufficient
for
two
people
to
be
together
and
not
the
similarities
or
dissimilarities
of
caste,
religion,
creed,
which
are
man-made.
The
kind
of
love
story
Yeh
Hai
Aashiqui
has
come
up
with
this
time,
is
brilliant
and
very
real
as
we
know
that
there
have
always
been
issues
in
our
country,
specially
relating
to
inter-caste
marriages.
For
a
couple
to
be
together
the
only
essential
and
important
element
is
love,
and
when
love
prevails,
the
nitty-gritty
of
caste,
religion
and
creed
become
baseless.
According
to
me,
the
moment
you
lose
your
heart
to
someone
and
you
wholly
and
solely
want
to
be
with
that
person,
that's
marriage."
The
episode
featuring
Sara
Khan
follows
the
lives
of
Mahalaxmi
(played
by
Sara
Khan)
and
Jeet
who
fall
in
love
in
spite
of
their
cultural
diversities.
But
after
some
introspection,
the
two
decide
to
part
ways
assuming
their
relationship
will
never
be
accepted
by
their
families
and
the
society.
But
Destiny
had
other
plans
in
store
for
them.
Love
comes
knocking
on
the
door
once
again
to
help
them
realize
that
they
are
meant
for
each
other.
But,
the
bigger
question
remains
if
true
love
hasthe
power
to
overcome
the
barriers
of
caste
and
creed
to
keep
the
two
together?
