Pasiones will air its first Indian production with the exclusive U.S. premiere of the hit romantic drama series Saras and Kumud, on Monday, February 12, at 5pm ET/2pm PT.
“Indian series has become increasingly popular over the years, and as a network committed to showcasing the top telenovelas from across the globe, we are thrilled to bring this trending genre to Pasiones viewers for the first time with the premiere of Saras & Kumud, which has seen great success in Latin America. Pasiones is the only destination on television where U.S. viewers can see an Indian novela in Spanish,” said Francisco Giménez, general manager of Cable Networks for Hemisphere Media Group, Inc., Pasiones’ parent company.
The award-winning series tells the story of two star-crossed lovers, Saras and Kumud, who are deeply in love with one another, but due to tradition are not allowed to be together. Although they try to keep their distance, destiny keeps bringing them back together. Eventually, Kumud is married off to another man and Saras is left to take of his family and become the man of the house. The two soulmates are repeatedly denied the joy of being together in this new-age drama about the classic tale of love and heartache.
Saras & Kumud is a production of Star India and its distributed by Latin Media Corp.
