Q. Your new show, 'Kasam Tere Pyar Ki' is centered around the concept of rebirth. What made you pick the subject?
A. There is something very dark and dramatic about it. It's like the universe coming together to either separate or bring lovers together. I have done realistic love stories on TV like post marriage love, dealing with monotony and childlessness. They are a little over-the-top as far as the story goes. In all this, the universe conspiring against these karmically connected people, who are starving for love, makes it interesting. Rebirth is just a small topic in context. They don't have the ability to live life together, but are connected to each other. Then destiny plays some ugly tricks and they separate again. But how that one promise brings them back is what the story is all about.
