New Delhi: Supriya Pilgaonkar and Gurdeep Kohli will play leading ladies in two new shows Janani and Humkadam respectively. The shows will be aired on newly launched GEC Ishara – Zindagi Ka Nazara. Ishara is from the house of IN10 Media Network and promises to offer a wide array of fiction ranging from family dramas, to mythology to love stories.
Janani, starring Supriya Pilgaonkar, is the journey of a single mother, from being a dependent woman to an independent successful woman. The story sets a progressive example for the target audience as it portrays strength, courage and change. Renowned TV stars Supriya Pilgaonkar and Mahesh Thakur play the lead cast in Janani.
“For me, it is very important to connect with the story to be able to portray it. The character of Savita has many layers to her and as the story unfolds, we learn so much about her personality. When I was approached for this show, I was instantly attracted simply by the name Janani. It has been a very exciting journey for me and I couldn’t be happier!” says Surpriya on playing the lead.
Surpriya is a popular face of Indian TV and regional cinema and she has been seen in shows like Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi and Tu Tu Main Main.
Another show Humkadam breaks the stereotypes of the typical saas-bahu dynamic with a fresh tale of two diametrically opposite personalities played by Gurdeep Kohli and Bhumika Gurang. It is the story of two ordinary identifiable women who are thrown together in an extraordinary unprecedented situation.
“There has been a stereotypical way saas-bahu stories have been told on television and Ishara is breaking out of this with Humkadam. It is a story of two women who learn to stand by each other in their toughest time and realise that they can be each other’s strengths. Personally, it has been an enriching experience for me because there is a strong bond that has been built both on and off camera with the actors. We have shared so many emotions as we played these roles,” says Gurdeep.
Gurdeep was last seen in Sanjivani 2 and web series Kehne Ko Humsafar Hain while Bhumika Gurung is known for her role in Nimki Mukhiya.
Ishara will launch on March 1, 2021.
