”Rainbow Rishta is a celebration of superheroes,” says director Jaydeep Sarkar as they launch trailer of the series

Rainbow Rishta, the docuseries directed by Jaydeep Sarkar, is set to break new ground and illuminate screens on November 7. The director recently shared a heartfelt note on the trailer's launch, and its impact is as refreshing as the trailer itself.

In his unfiltered and candid note, Jaydeep Sarkar reflected on his own journey as a queer individual, growing up in the '90s when LGBTQ+ representation was scarce. He shared, “Growing up in the nineties, if I had seen stories of triumphant queer folx, I wouldn't have waited till my mid-thirties to finally come out of the closet! So, with Rainbow Rishta, wanted to find stories that I could share with my younger self. While crafting this show, we embarked on a profound journey with our characters, witnessing them conquer their own winding paths. Through their love, our characters taught us that love itself is the ultimate revolution. Rainbow Rishta is a celebration of these superheroes! To that young queer soul watching this show somewhere, I hope you recognize that there are kindred spirits like you everywhere. And never forget, your dreams are not only valid but very essential!”
