Saale Aashiq is a 2025 Indian Hindi-language television film written and directed by the duo Siddharth–Garima.[1][2] Starring Tahir Raj Bhasin and Mithila Palkar, with Chunky Pandey and Darshan Jariwala in supporting roles, the film follows an inter-caste couple who confront violent social opposition rooted in honour-based practices.[3] It premiered directly on Sony MAX on 1 February 2025 after promotional material rolled out in January.[4]
Set in a small town in Madhya Pradesh, the film follows Shatru and Gudia, two young people from different castes who fall in love despite the weight of entrenched traditions and political pressures. Their relationship quickly attracts disapproval from both families and the wider community. As intimidation escalates into death threats, the couple must decide whether to risk everything for their right to choose each other, or give in to the demands of family honour.
