Some famous love stories are tales from Punjabi folklore, and the heroines of these amours went against the rules and norms of society to earn their love. The favorite folktales of Punjabi are Sassi punnu, Sohni Mahival, Heer Ranjha, Laila Majnoun, and Mirza Sahiba. All of these demonstrate the true essence of Punjabi Art.

Technically, most of the stories revove around one critical point: All the protagonists who went against the social convictions were punished with deaths, but their deaths were glorified and are still remembered as love standards for the rest of the couples today.
