Kuch Reet Jagat Ki Aisi Hai: Meera Deosthale is excited to be the ‘voice of change’ against the dowry system; says, “I hope we can spread this message far and wide”

Sony Entertainment Television’s latest offering, Kuch Reet Jagat Ki Aisi Hai is expected to be a compelling drama that sees the homely, vivacious, and responsible Nandini, challenge the conventional Dahej Pratha that exists in our country. At the heart of the show is a traditional wife but her character serves as a beacon of strength, challenging age-old beliefs that demean the self-respect of women. Shrouded in tradition, dowry is the price a woman pays with her dignity and Nandini’s stark demand - “mujhe mera dahej waapas chahiye”, paves the way for a story that matters.

Speaking about introducing a show which challenges an age-old but unjust custom of the country, JD Majethia of Hats Off Productions said, “The dowry system is still a threatening reality, not just in rural India but in metropolitan cities as well. It’s got a new language now, “Humein kuch nahi chaiye, aap apni beti ko khushi se jo dena chaho woh deejiye”. Why do we value a woman’s life, her worth, against the amount of gold and gifts she brings in dowry?  Questions like these need to be raised again and again and our show aims to shed light on many such practices that are disguised as tradition. We are delighted to collaborate with a strong ensemble cast of actors who will deliver impactful performances in this story scripted by renowned writers that promises to strike a chord with viewers across the country.”

 

Lead actress Meera Deosthale shared her thoughts on the show adding, “I have always picked unconventional roles on Indian television, and I am so excited about my next character, Nandini, who raises her voice against what she believes is wrong. Even today, dowry continues to plague our society, wherein we reduce a girl's value to the money and material goods she brings to her wedded house. This is the story of Nandini, who took a step that has never been seen or heard before, by demanding the return of her dowry, and I hope we can spread this message far and wide that Dahej Reet Nahi Rog Hai.”

 

Set in the milieu of Gujarat, the show puts the spotlight on Nandini, who has been raised by her maternal uncle and aunt, played by Jagat Rawat and Sejal Jha. Deeply rooted in tradition, Nandini respects her elders, she’s well-read, and is progressive in her thoughts. Her Mama has taught her to question what she doesn’t understand, and Nandini does so fearlessly. Actor Zaan Khan essays the role of Nandini’s husband, Naren Ratanshi, while actors Dharmesh Vyas and Khushi Rajpoot play the roles of her in-laws, Hemraj Ratanshi and Chanchal Ratanshi. Despite the backdrop of a seemingly content married life, the show chronicles her courageous journey as she takes a stand against her in-laws and the custom of dowry, unveiling a poignant tale of resilience and empowerment.

 

Kuch Reet Jagat Ki Aisi Hai will start from February 19 onwards and will air from Monday to Friday at 8.30 pm, only on Sony Entertainment Television.
