MUMBAI: A bridegroom kidnapped for a marriage, a wedding held at gunpoint. That is the broad plotline of Ghar... Ek Sapnaa, Sahara One's new show which launches 15 January at 10 pm.

Produced by Ajai Sinha of Astitva Ek Prem Kahani fame, the show is superseding Comedy Champions, which is currently airing in the 10 pm slot. The new show will have its task cut out considering the fact that it would be competing against Star Plus' Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki, which has just got a makeover, Sony's Bigg Boss and Zee TV's Betiyaan Ghar Ki Laxmi.

Commenting about the show, Sahara One programming head Kalyan Sundaram said, "It's a family show at an important slot. Though everyone has a space and audience, we are confident of our content. Since it's a family drama it can't be completely different from a family soap but the USP is the treatment and with someone like Ajai Sinha you can sure keep high expectations."

The starcast of the show includes debutant Sayantani Ghosh as Kakul, Shammi, Alok Nath, Harsh Chhaya and Himani Shivpuri amongst others.

The plot of Ghar… Ek Sapnaa revolves around the lead protagonist Kakul, daughter of Om Shankar a politico-business magnate of Bihar. Kakul's family consists of her father, her elder sister Trisha and her brother-in-law, Sujit.

At Kakul's best friend Reena's wedding, Samman, the bridegroom's friend even though in a committed relationship with Vanshika, takes up a bet with his friends to flirt with Kakul and win her over. Unaware of the territory that he has treaded on, Samman promises undying love to Kakul who in turn falls in love with him almost immediately. Although Samman wants to break free from this situation, he is forced to marry Kakul and takes her home with him.
