For years, the creative team of Sony Entertainment Television’s popular fiction shows Aahat has been churning out thrilling stories created by B.P. Singh to haunt the minds of viewers. The first, second, and fifth seasons had half-hour episodes, while the third, fourth, and sixth seasons had one-hour episodes. It was one of the longest-running series on television. In 1995, the first season aired. The producers decided to make more seasons of the show due to its huge success.

Plot
The show began as a crime thriller-whodunit, with only a few supernatural episodes. After the first season, however, the show shifted gears, with nearly every story focusing on a different aspect of paranormal & supernatural activities, such as ghosts, zombies, phantoms, undead people, possessed objects, and witches and wizards.
Season 1 (1995-2001)
Aahat premiered on October 5, 1995, as a crime thriller with each story split into two episodes. It first aired on Thursday nights before moving to Friday nights. About 40 episodes with the same theme as a crime thriller, one episode with a supernatural theme that became the show’s turning point.
