While women have silently borne the weight of trials and passed down lessons of resilience and patience to the younger generation women for ages, Mangal Lakshmi aims at defying the vicious cycle of tolerating lack of respect in marriage. Set in Delhi, 'Mangal Lakshmi' is a heartwarming story of love and sacrifice, capturing the journey of two sisters, who claim respect for each other. Starring Deepika Singh, Sanika Amit and Naman Shaw in the roles of Mangal, Lakshmi and Adit respectively, Mangal Lakshmi premieres on Colors on February 27.
The Colors show features a determined homemaker and her younger sister as they seize this fundamental pillar of relationships – #chutki bhar sammaan, refusing to settle for anything less. Mangal is the epitome of every Indian woman who flawlessly manages her household duties while fiercely loving her family, especially her sister. Wise beyond her age, Mangal’s Lakshmi runs her father’s garment shop after the demise of her parents, deprived of affection from her extended family. Determined to shield her beloved sister Lakshmi, Mangal is more than ready to pull all strings to find her sister a soulmate, who will honour her as an equal. Simultaneously, Lakshmi urges Mangal to speak out against the disregard she puts up with in her marriage, encouraging her to demand the respect she advocates for her sister.
Best known for her show Diya Aur Baati Hum, actress Deepika Singh who plays the role of Mangal, said, “As an actor, I have always aimed to portray characters that resonate with our viewers, especially with women across India. I'm honoured to be joining Colors after a long break for a story revolving around two women, who are very relatable and whose aspirations are simple. The most exciting part for me is that when viewers watch the show, they will understand the depth and sensitivity with which women handle every situation. I know many Mangals in my life and I cannot rave enough about the kind of strength they have to stand up for another woman. I dedicate my performance to all those inspiring Mangals of our lives.”
Sanika Amit who will be seen as Lakshmi, added, “I am absolutely thrilled to be foraying into the television industry with an amazing show and character on COLORS. I never imagined that I would get to essay the titular role in my debut television project, especially alongside such versatile co-stars. For me, the most special thing about Mangal Lakshmi is that it tells an engaging story led by two women, whose journeys are inspirational. Not to mention, it's the kind of story I would enjoy watching on television, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to bring it to viewers."
Talking about essaying the role of Adit, Naman Shaw shared, "I am grateful for the opportunity to portray Adit, a multifaceted character with grey shades. I hope that viewers will not only be entertained but also encouraged to reflect on their relationships and the roles of women in their families. Through Adit’s character, I aim to shed light on the destructive situations that arise between married couples due to a lack of respect. I will consider it a job well done if viewers dislike my character."
Produced by Suzana Ghai’s Panorama Entertainment, Mangal Lakshmi is a heartfelt family drama which will air every day at 9 pm on Colors.
