So, what's new on TV?
Here's a quick look at this summer's new crop of TV shows:
Aisa Des Hai Mera
Largely shot in London, this serial follows a young, carefree girl called Rusty, who suddenly discovers she is half-Indian. It's when she begins her journey to find her roots in Chandigarh. Aisa Des .. is "an emotional saga and a journey of pain, hope and dreams -- a beautiful blend of east-meets-west," says a Sony official.
Rusty is the lone daughter of John and Linda - an upper-middle class British couple - travels to Chandigarh to meet and stay with her extended family. Unfortunately, her extended family is completely hostile and does not accept her. At the same time, they can't throw her out, and fight tooth and nail to uphold her prestige.
Written and directed by Lekh Tandon, the serial stars Kanwaljeet Singh, Bina, veteran villain Ranjeet and newcomer Saumya Tandon (playing the role of Rusty).
Aisa Des Hai Mera will air Monday through Thursday, 9 pm, on Sony Entertainment Television.
