Ismat Chughtai never wrote a typical boy-meets-girl story or a tale of thwarted love ever. So, this title may seem a bit strange to those familiar with her work. The three stories presented under Teen Ishqiya Afsaane are, in fact, love stories with a difference - of the imaginary, obsessive and unquestioningly devoted kind of love.
 
Hindustan Chhod Do (Quit India) is a tragic tale of epic proportions. This story is read by Ratna Pathak Shah.
Nivala (The Morsel) is a whimsical take on life in a big city. This story is read by Heeba Shah.  
Jadein (Roots) is about the unbreakable bond between a person and home. This story is read by Naseeruddin Shah.

Your donations through Donor Passes today will help IFA to continue its grantmaking, ensuring that funds are made available to many more artists, in these difficult and unprecedented times.
