00:00Sassi and Punnu's love story is considered one of the best and most popular love stories written on the land of Punjab.
00:08Sassi was the daughter of a Hindu king, but she was raised by a Muslim washerman.
00:13When Sassi was born, a prophecy was made that she would fall in love when she grows up.
00:20As time passed, this prophecy seemed to be true when Sassi saw a picture of a young man near the merchants on the way to the river.
00:30As soon as she saw the picture, she fell in love with him. The young man's name was Punnu.
00:37Sassi and Punnu met by chance, but separated again in a few days.
00:42Sassi was in a bad state after separating from Punnu. When she could not bear it, she decided that she would cross the desert and go to Punnu's country and bring him back.
00:52But this was not so easy. Sassi's delicate body could not bear the heat of the desert and she was buried in the hot sand of the same desert.
01:02Here, when Punnu came to his senses, he thought of Sassi first. He yearned to meet her and walked towards her kingdom.
01:12But after coming to the desert, he found out from a shepherd that his Sassi had died here.
01:19Then what was Punnu's life without Sassi?
01:22Punnu also killed himself. Both left this world, but their love story was immortalized.
