By 121 News

Chandigarh 23^rd December:- Having launched on 2nd November 2015 at 7 PM, Zee TV's primetime offering Kaala Teeka is a poignant social drama that attempts to break the shackles of age-old superstitions and endeavors to create awareness amongst the masses. Set in Mithila, Bihar, it is the story of two young girls whose lives are entwined by an act of superstition. The show captures the journey of a girl child Kaali who is treated as a human Kaala Teeka for another child Gauri and is expected to shadow her everywhere for the well-being of the latter. This regressive, superstitious belief of using one child's presence merely to ward off evil influences from another poses several obstacles in the former's path of growth and overall development. The show captures the worst form of superstitions – personification! It showcases Kaali's journey of hope as she overcomes these challenges and enables Gauri to find her true self. She also reaches out to her own aspirations and ambitions in life and becomes an inspiration to others.

Rajesh Puri who is in the city today to promote the show said that in Kaala Teeka, he is playing the character of Raj Purohit who is Vishwaveer Jha's childhood friend and the one to whom the family would run for guidance at every step. It's a very strong role for him and he is enjoying to doing it. The script of the show is very well written as it delivers a very strong social message in the most engaging manner. Kaala Teeka raises a voice against those superstitions that serve no purpose, add no meaning to our lives and in fact come in the way of someone's overall growth. The upcoming track on the show will bring interesting twists in Manjari & Kaali's life and I'm positive that audiences will love it. He said that serial is conceptualized by the same team of the serial Parvarish.

Rajesh Puri said that he is in the field of Acting since the Television comes in Indian Homes. He did more than 125 Movies and more than 100 serials. But he is still recognised by the character of Lallu, which he played in serial Hum Log. After Hum Log he did most popular serial of that time "Buniyaad". He said people must watch his latest serial Kaala Teeka, which delivers a very strong social message against Superstition.

The show has opened to great appreciation from the masses and now come to a point where Manjari (Dalljiet Kaur) - Vishwaveer's (Bhupinder Singh) first wife, who has not been able to bear children, has developed strong maternal instincts for Kaali, and to ensure her well-being, has taken on everyone in the family including her husband.  Kaali, on her part, no matter how hard the situations have been, has managed to retain her child-like innocence and positivity. She remains optimistic for a better tomorrow. Will Manjari be able to fulfill Kaali's dreams, will she be able to fight with the entire family for her is what the audiences can watch out for in the upcoming episodes of Kaala Teeka. 

The upcoming weekend sees an exciting Mahasangam between Zee TV's Sarojini and Kaala Teeka. Viewers can look forward to seeing how Kaali (Sargam Khurana) & Sarojini (Shiney Doshi) come together to destroy the evil and become each other's saviours.
