Story

Actually, this story is about to childhood friends. Chaudhary Karmjit Singh played by Mukesh Khanna and Hardial Singh played by Girja Shankar. Karmjit Singh married his love Nikki and Hardial refused to accept this because of a very old fued between Hardial's father and Nikki's father which caused the death of Hardial's father. After breaking his friendship with Karmjit, Hardial sells his land and house and moves to the city. Not revealing the full story, at the end, the story turns into a hatred between Hindus and Sikhs. But at the end, Hardial realizes his mistakes and finally calls Nikki Bhabi.

Must Watch

I remember watching and enjoying this mini-series in the late 80s and early 90s. This mini-series is produced and directed by the creators of Mahabharat. I watched it after watching Mahabharat, and it was interesting to see the same actors in different roles. The mini-series has a gripping plot and runs at a decent pace, and I recommend watching it. The leading cast members Mukesh Khanna and Girja Shankar have performed well. Mayur Verma and Gufi Paintal's performances deserve a special mention, especially Gufi Paintal. He played the character of the villainous Shakuni in Mahabharat convincing well; in this mini-series, he, with great ease, plays a positive role which shows how versatile he is. Overall a good solid 8 out of 10.

Trivia
Majority of the actor's and actresses also played parts in BR Chopra's hit TV Show Mahabharat. In Chunni Mukesh Khanna and Girija Shankar played the role of best friends whose relationship went soar but in Mahabharat they played the role of uncle and nephew as Bhishma and Dhritrasthra respectively. Goga Kapoor played Mukesh Khanna's father, but in Mahabharat Goga Kapoor played King Kansa (part of Krishna's story) so he never had on screen space with any of the other actor's and actresses from Chunni in Mahabharat. Samir Chitre and Mayur played Mukesh Khanna's son's in Chunni, in Mahabharat Samir Chitre and Mayur played Mukesh Khanna's grandson and Great grandson as Nakula and Abhimanyu respectively. Rishabh Shukla and Roma Manek played lovers and Roma Manek played the role of Mukesh Khanna's daughter whereas in Mahabharat Rishabh Shukla played Mukesh Khanna's father as King Shantanu and Roma Manek as his nephew's wife as Madri. Arun Bakshi played Girija Shankar's father in law and in Mahabharat Arun Bakshi played the role of Dhrishtadyumna (Draupadi's brother) so Girija Shankar nephew's wife but on opposing sides. Vinod Kapoor played Girija Shankar's manager in the company he owned, and in Mahabharat Vinod Kapoor played the role of of Dushashana (Girija Shankar's son).
