Ajay Bhalwankar, Chief Content Officer, Sony SAB:

"At Sony SAB, our mission is to tell stories that families can watch together and carry forward as shared experiences. With Hastinapur Ke Veer, we are not just revisiting mythology - we are presenting the formative journeys of the Pandavas and Kauravas in a way that highlights values, relationships, and choices, that remain relevant even today. This show reflects Sony SAB's commitment to meaningful, family-friendly storytelling that entertains while also inspiring audiences across generations."

Toral Rasputra, actor:

"Playing Kunti has been an incredibly enriching experience for me as an actor. She is often remembered as a strong, composed mother, but what fascinated me was exploring the woman behind that strength, her fears, her sacrifices, and the emotional weight she carries as a mother shaping the future of her children. As an actor, it challenged me to portray both her inner conflicts and her outward strength with nuance. I believe audiences will see a side of Kunti that feels more real and relatable, not just as a mythological figure, but as a woman, a mother, and an individual whose decisions play a crucial role in shaping history."

Tune in to witness this grand saga of legacy, courage and destiny unfold in Hastinapur Ke Veer, starting 2nd June, Monday to Saturday at 9 PM, only on Sony SAB
