Sumeet Mittal, producer of “Pehredaar Piya Ki” — the show which was pulled off air due to its “obnoxious” plot — says he was heartbroken when the controversy emerged. It’s been a week since “Pehredaar Piya Ki” aired on Sony Entertainment Television – the empty slot was taken up by extended episodes of Kaun Banega Crorepati 9, which premiered on August 28.
The producers of Pehredaar Piya Ki – Sumeet and Shashi Mittal – were “heartbroken” but quickly recuperated to have another show releasing this week. Titled “Yeh Un Dinon Ki Baat Hai”, the new series is a school-time love story based in the 1990s and will premiere on-wards.
The serial is about Naina (Ashi Singh) and Sameer (Randeep Rai) and their love story set in the small town of Ahmedabad. Naina studies in the 11th standard, is a topper, while Sameer ditches his schooling in Nainital to visit his Nanu in Ahmedabad. Both of them are from quite different universes, and how they meet and fall in love with each other forms the crux of the story.
Both Naina and Sameer have an emotional void, as they both have lost one of their parents. While Naina has come to an agreement with her situation and is okay with it, Sameer is more of a rebellious child.

Based in the 90s, the show will take you down the memory lane as it features things belonging to that era like GoldSpot, high-waist jeans, baggy clothes, VCRs and many such things. The makers have taken the pain to do some research.
Our protagonist Naina goes to school on a bicycle and eats lunch in stainless steel tiffin box. Though Sameer belongs to an affluent family, the show doesn’t promote him as a royal prince. We don’t see Sameer riding flamboyant cars or anything. His affluent status is not forced on us, unlike other serials.
The 80s and the 90s kids will surely be flooded with old memories after watching this show; something that we all miss in this fast-paced social media age. Life was much simpler when apple was just a fruit and Google wasn’t there to answer all our queries.
The makers have taken care of things like movie posters, advertisements to magazines from that era. The show has a feel good factor and will make you feel as if you’ve travelled through time to the golden era of the 90s.
Naina, who is now a celebrated author, is the narrator who takes us down the memory lane. She points out the stark difference between the current era and the bygone one. For example, she explains how getting a fancy haircut was such a big deal back in 90’s and if at all they did, how the parents would get furious and force them to run errands (just to punish them).
‘Yeh Un Dino Ki Baat Hai’ has started on a good note and we hope it continues to carry the essence with which it has started.
