Shakuntala is a heartwarming fairytale about Shakuntala and King Dushyant's romantic lovestory. The series premiered on February 2, 2009 and aired until July 6, 2009.
The tender and romantic, fairy tale of Shakuntala and King Dushyant has become a synonym of love in the India. Shakuntala was the daughter of celestial Apsara Menaka and Sage Vishwamitra and was abandoned by her parents' right after she was born.
The baby was found by the Sage Kanva who gives her refuge in his ashram and raises her like his own daughter. Shakuntala grows up to be a breath taking beauty (known to be as beautiful as a goddess). She meets King Dushyant who is completely smitten by her. He approaches her, wins her heart and gives her his Royal seal, his Ring.
Circumstances separate Shakuntala from King Dushyant and she keeps pining for her love to return. The story of Shakuntala is a classic example of love so pure that it transcends all artificial boundaries that human beings have created and what it actually means to be truly in love by capturing the dialectics of joy and pain. Will Shakuntala re unite with King Dushyant or will fate keep them apart?
