&TV celebrates spirit of women with a bold narrative, 'Mitegi Lakshman Rekha'

&TV is launching a new fiction show titled Mitegi Lakshman Rekha on weekdays Monday to Friday at 9.30pm. Premiering on May 28, 2018, the show intends to question the boundaries and societal norms that bind women in society. The show is replacing Badho Bahu at the 9.30pm slot.

Produced by Shashi Sumeet Productions, Mitegi Lakshman Rekha will see actors Shivani Tomar and Rahul Sharma come together as the lead protagonists – Kanchan and Vishesh.

Kanchan (Shivani Tomar) is a girl of this day and age, who could never be weighed down by boundaries but is actually battling her internal dilemmas. Her life takes a rather interesting turn when she meets Vishesh (Rahul Sharma), an ideal man who has a similar outlook towards life and doesn’t give in to the patriarchal mindset of the society.

Vishnu Shankar, Head, &TV, said, “Mitegi Lakshman Rekha is an inspiring and bold narrative that questions the many boundaries that have been created for women. The show celebrates the spirit of women like Kanchan who are battling a bitter past yet determined to move forward. The show’s brave take on the larger issue that surrounds the society is what sets the storytelling apart.”

Set against the backdrop of Mathura, the show traces the journey of Kanchan and Vishesh who belong to two contrasting worlds but their progressive thinking and similar ideologies bring them together. While Kanchan belongs to a simple family and runs a beauty parlour, Vishesh is a royal born. He is righteous, progressive and a man of his words.

Producers Shashi and Sumeet Mittal said, “Mitegi Lakshman Rekha’s hard-hitting concept touches upon a subject that is the need of the hour. We have seen many characters on TV but Kanchan and Vishesh are presented in a completely new light; they are way more progressive and at every step question the various boundaries that are defined by the society. While on the one hand Kanchan’s journey will inspire audiences, Vishesh’s character will be a reminder of how supportive and permissive men should ideally be. The exceptional chemistry and bond between Vishesh and Kanchan makes the show an even more promising proposition.”

Along with Shivani Tomar and Rahul Sharma, Mitegi Lakshman Rekha will feature an ensemble cast including actors like Jayashree T, Vaishnavi MacDonald, Amit Thakur, Rahul Lohani and Ravi Gossain among others.
