Zee World's new novela Ring of Fire starts this Friday (31 January) at 20h00, replacing
Married Again 2 which ends on Thursday.
And the moral of its story is... the world becomes a Ring of Fire when you find yourself surrounded by two people who are desperate to marry you and their pushy, over-involved families.
This is the heat that causes the lead character Anurag Singh to sweat.
He's played by Ankit Gera of
Young Dreams and he's an MBA Graduate. *
Think posh accent*: Anurag studied in London
you know.
He returns to his hometown in India where Srishti (Simraan Kaur) and Ragini (Yukti Kapoor) become his future.
Srishti = a softly spoken, traditional law student.
Ragini = the opposite: bold, brash and spoilt. She's so spoilt that her father's prepared to commit a crime to fulfil her wishes.
Anurag's family arrange his marriage to Srishti but then, on their wedding day, Ragini's father finds a way of forcing Anurag to marry Ragini instead, leaving Srishti at the altar solo.
To save Srishti and Anurag's families from the shame-of-it-all, Srishti marries Anurag's mentally challenged brother Vishu (Mohak Khurana).
There's no romance between them but they become close friends.
Which is especially important when a hitman tries to kill Srishti.
And that's all we can say without giving the plot away.
The series' original name is: Agnifera (kinda firey when you extend the last "a" as you pronounce it)
