Bhopal, Jan 24 (WTN): Led by its brand philosophy ‘Bhula De Darr, KuchAlagKar’, Star Bharat presents its new show ‘Ek Thi Rani Ek Tha Raavan’ which highlights key mind-sets that plague our society and the way they can be transformed! Sadly, patriarchy reigns supreme in many parts of the country and society conveniently overlooks crimes like stalking, till things turn ugly and grave. Mumbai based Manul Chudasma is playing role of Rani in this show also making her debut of her acting career.
Telling about her role in this show Manul said in a press meet today, “It is my absolute privilege that I have got the chance to play the role of Rani, an ordinary college girl who chooses to rise up to stalking and harassment. EkThi Rani EkThaRaavan has a message that is the need of the hour in a country like our’” On her first visit to Indore, she added, “I love the feel of the city. I am looking forward to visiting some of the beautiful lakes in the city. I had never imagined that my first visit to the city would be as an actor promoting my show. I am glad though that it is the way it is”.
After years of silence, today the women of our country are finally standing up unitedly against harassment with unusual strength and courage. Celebrating this spirit of awakening Star Bharat launched ‘EkThi Rani Ek Tha Raavan’ on 21st January.
The show addresses the pertinent issue of stalking in our country through the powerful story of a young girl. Set in the historic town of Jhansi, home to Rani of Jhansi, the show reveals the nightmares of a girl-next-door Rani, the protagonist, who has been living in a dilemma about leaving her home every hour of the day. Belonging to a broken family, she aspires to be well educated, but steps out with little enthusiasm everyday fearing a follower. A man who waits until she leaves her doorstep and keeps her company during her day. This man, a 27 year old Rivaaj is neither her friend, nor her lover. He is a stalker.
The crime of stalking is seldom given its due importance and is swept under the rug. Instead, the woman in question is often asked to mend her life and ways to avoid being stalked. The approach is always to blame the woman instead of the perpetrator. The show strives to influence mind-sets of men and women alike to overcome this prevalent evil.
Star Bharat’s spokesperson said, “Our entertaining fiction shows aimed at family viewing have been warmly received ever since we have launched. Our constant endeavor has been to create stories that inspire the narrative of our country to unleash their true selves. We have started this year with one such story called ‘EkThi Rani EkThaRaavan’, which is based on every woman’s inner strength of transforming their ‘fear’ to ‘fire’ of change. Our year has just begun, more promising shows are on their way to pave a remarkable 2019.”
The show, produced by Panorama Entertainment will see ManulChudasma making her debut as the protagonist ‘Rani’ and Ram Yashvardhan as the antagonist ‘Rivaaj’ respectively. Versatile actor and singer Ila Arun, has lent her evocative voice to narrate a moving poem for the promotion of the show. Television personalities like Sanjeev Seth, Vaishnavi Rao, AshwinKaushal and Ritwika Dey will be essaying important roles in the show.
