Star Plus is taking its storytelling off the television and into the streets this Uttarayan. With Love Utsav, the channel turns a month-long celebration into a colourful cultural moment across Gujarat, bringing beloved characters and emotional arcs to life in unexpected, joyful ways.
What is Love Utsav?
Love Utsav is Star Plus’ fresh take on celebrating love during the kite festival. Instead of limiting romance and relationships to the small screen, the channel is translating its iconic stories into sky-high visuals, street activations and neighbourhood experiences so viewers can celebrate together — families, friends and fans alike.
How the festival unfolds during Uttarayan
Uttarayan is all about colour, togetherness and celebration, and Love Utsav taps into that spirit. Expect a mix of visual spectacle and intimate moments: from dramatic kites decorating the skyline to sensory street activations that invite people to step into their favourite show scenes.
On-ground highlights fans can look forward to

Why this matters for viewers
Love Utsav is more than a marketing moment. It acknowledges what Indian TV has always done best: create emotional connections. By taking stories into public spaces during a festival that already brings people together, Star Plus is celebrating not just romantic love but the bonds between families, neighbors and communities.
