Commenting on her experience of hosting the show, Sima Taparia said, “ Modern relationships are complex and from my experience of having spoken with hundreds of couples, long lasting relationships take a lot of work. When I first heard about the concept of Sach Ya Kalesh from Story TV, I found the format refreshing and also the need of the hour. This was so innovative and intriguing that I had a great time shooting for the vertical microdrama series. The couples on screen are real and honest. Love, breakups and fights happen real time and what the audience sees on screen is people in their true and real elements.”

Talking about the concept, Abhishek Rege, Founder, Aarambh Entertainment, said, “We, at Aarambh Entertainment, see microdramas as an important mainstay for the entertainment ecosystem going forward. It has been an incredible experience to bring Story TV’s vision to life and create “Sach Ya Kalesh” for a new generation of audiences who prefer vertical content. I think this could unlock a new generation of viewers who spend most of their time on their phones. Good to see how Story TV is championing this, and we are excited to see more such formats.”

The episodes will be dropped daily starting from 2nd November. The show will be streaming only on the Story TV app.
