Anjali Anand’s Dhai Kilo Prem
Balaji Telefilms (Ekta Kapoor) and Sandiip Sikcand’s Dhai Kilo Prem is considered to be one of the best shows that has been released in 2017. The show revolves around the life of an obese couple Piyush (Meherzan Mazda) and Deepika (Anjali Anand), whose journey promises loads of romance, comedy and drama. Piyush, who is an obese guy, dreams of marrying a slim and beautiful chic whereas Deepika, an obese girl, dreams of a prince who will love her unconditionally for what she is. She wants someone to accept her noticing how big her heart is rather noticing her oversized body. Dhai Kilo Prem is a story of the duo, who have dreamt of an ideal life partner but eventually find love in each other putting behind their physical attributes.
Tina Ann Philip’s Ek Aastha Aisi Bhee
Ek Aastha Aisi Bhee show is produced by Dheeraj Sarna and Ved Raj and has made the afternoons on TV brighter with its interesting plot and concept. The show is loved by its audience for the female lead’s unique personality. Her thought process and actions are different from others. Aastha will be played by a London girl (Tina Ann Philip), who does not believe in God but Karma, after she loses her father at an young age. The makers have created a fictional character (an atheist), who would not bow before God and is not a God-fearing person as shown in several TV shows, irrespective of the era we have been in. Well, the USP of Ek Aastha Aisi Bhi lies in the fact that the lead female in the show is an atheist and does not believe in worshiping a stone idol but believes in Karma and good deeds. The show has attracted its audience with this new concept.
Kritika Kamra’s Prem Ya Paheli – Chandrakanta
Prem Ya Paheli – Chandrakanta (a fantasy television show) which is based on Devaki Nandan Khatri’s popular novel – Chandrakanta, is one of the biggest ever blockbusters in the history of Indian Television.
