A still from Punyashlok Ahilyabai

A new historical show Punyashlok Ahilyabai is set to launch. The show, set to feature on Sony Entertainment Television, is a period drama set in the 18th century based on the extraordinary life of a common girl 'Ahilyabai Holkar' who with the unflinching support of her father-in-law Malhar Rao Holkar, went on to become the queen of state and Maratha empire. She also earned the title of 'Matoshree' of the masses. Ahilyabai Holkar's brave tale will be narrated on Indian television for the first time.

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actor Mehra will soon be seen in a new web series as Rahim, a boy who aspires to be a dancing sensation someday. Titled "Crashh", the upcoming show tells the story of four siblings who get separated after an accident.
