Colors’ upcoming show Molkki is about bride-buying custom prevalent in Haryana

Colors’ upcoming show Molkki throws light on the prevalent custom in Haryana where because of the skewed sex ratio, dulhans are bought by people. It is the story of 18-year-old Purvi, who hails from a small village in Uttar Pradesh. As a part of the bride- buying custom, without her knowledge, she is married off to a widower, Virender, who is twice her age.

Priyal Mahajan plays the role of Purvi and Amar Upadhyay plays Virender. Commenting on this Amar says, “The concept of Molkki is unique, powerful and something that has never been shown on television before. As Virender Pratap Singh, I am playing a larger-than-life character. He is a very strong and serious person whose life undergoes a drastic emotional change when Purvi becomes a part of it.”
