Sona Chandi

The play was inspired by a real couple named Sona (male) and Chandi (female) from Kallurkot, a Tehsil city in the Bhakkar District of Punjab, Pakistan. Munnu Bhai (the writer of the play), who was educated in Kallurkot during his father's posting there as the railway station master of North Western Railway (British India) in the city before 1947, has mentioned his inspiration for these roles in his numerous interviews. Sona is still alive and lives in Kallurkot. During one of his visits to Kallurkot a few years back, Munnu Bhai got to meet the real Sona, who is portrayed in the 1983 film version of the same play, 'Sona Chandi' (1983). The credit for its popularity goes to the whole team: Munnu Bhai's script, direction by Rashid Dar, and performances by the actors, especially the leading characters of this PTV drama. Sona and Chandi. ==Cast==
