Catch the Thakur girls create a storm starting March 30th, every Monday-Friday at 9:00 pm only &TV.
The story revolves around a Retd. Judge – Justice LN Thakur essayed by actor Anang Desai, his wife – Mamta played by Supriya Pilgaonkar and their five eccentric daughters – Anji (Sara Afreen Khan), Binny (Shilpa Raizada), Dabbu (Sukirti Khandpal), Chandu (Monica Sharma) and Eshu (Meera Deosthale). Famous for their shenanigans and popular with the boy brigade, each of the Thakur girl has her own unique style, personality and charm to match. How the sisters are tied together yet different in their own quirky manner, deal with situations and misadventures makes for an interesting narrative.
Says Sukirti Khandpal aka Dabbu, “My character is very different from what I have done before in my career. Dabbu is an idealist girl, who is a dog lover. She is a dreamer who believes in true love and is waiting for the perfect man in her life. The show is contemporary and in sync with today’s times. It reflects the bond between sisters even though they are completely opposite from each other.”
Adds Sara Afreen Khan aka Anji, “My character is shown to be a perfectionist. Anji is also the fashionista, amongst the girls, who takes time assorting her look even for family dinner! Everything that she wears has to be branded. Very unlike me in real life, but it’s been fun playing Anji and I hope that the audiences relate to the show with the same enthusiasm.”
The show has been shot extensively in Delhi across key locations like Red Fort, India Gate, Delhi Haat, The India Habitat Centre and Connaught Place.
