Adolescence – an age of both
disorientation and discovery. Remember how fearless, confused,
exhilarated, love struck, hopeful, elated, curious, nervous we felt at
that age? Even after decades, can we ever forget those first
giddy-headed, confused times when we thought that we were in love with
someone, and conquering the world seemed well within our reach? To
transport you back in time and give you a taste of your wonder years,
Zee TV brings to you a colorful tale of two girls who are diametrically
different from each other. Premiered on 21st May at 7 30 pm, Garnier
Light presents Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke is a story about two 16- year-
olds, Gunjan and Rachna.
Gunjan is a smart, suave 16- year-
old girl who lives in Mumbai and shares a wonderful relationship with
her mother Sneha. As fate would have it, Gunjan’s life falls apart when
her mother passes away and her father sends her to her maasi’s (mother’s
sister) place in Varanasi so that she’s well taken care of. Gunjan
moves to Varanasi to stay with her maasi, Shail (enacted by Vaishnavi
Mcdonald) and here, begins the story of Gunjan and Rachna.
The wonder years are our teenage
years where we make mistakes and learn from it as it is the threshold of
what we become eventually in life. ‘Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke’ is a
story of two young girls who are like chalk and cheese! Gunjan is
pampered and speaks her mind. She has lived in a close knit, nuclear
family whereas Rachna is a shy and reticent girl living in a joint
family and is very dependent on her mom, Shail. The story talks of love,
everlasting friendship, the joys of sharing & caring, the fights
and the making-up between sisters who form a unique, close bond which
completes them as individuals. The show explores both the teenager’s and
Shails’s journey in this crucial phase. How will Gunjan cope moving to
Varanasi after her mother’s death? Will she be able to adjust in Shail’s
middle class household? Will Shail be a responsible parent to both
girls? The story tries to encapsulate all these fine nuances of life
beautifully and give the audience a taste of their growing up years.
Said the Fiction Head of Zee TV,
Sukesh Motwani, “Sapne Suhane Ladakpan ke is all about celebrating
adolescence. The teenage years mark the real beginning of a person’s
blossoming youth and the events that occur in one’s life in this period
leave permanent imprints affecting his/her personality. The teenage
years are when one faces their first crushes, loves, despair of love,
mistakes, joys of friendship, togetherness, heartbreaks, emotional
turmoil, rebellious feelings etc. The show is full of hope, aspirations,
wish, longing, desire and yearning. The idea was to enrich the lives of
the viewers through an endearing content which will remind them of
their carefree wonder years.”
Introducing two fresh faces - Rupal
Tyagi (Gunjan) and Mahima Makwana (Rachna) - who will endear audiences
with their youthful charm and effervescence. While the vivacious Rupal
has been a part of the Zee family earlier in the show, ‘Hamari Betiyon
ka Vivaah’ and also acted in ‘Dill Mill Gaye’, Mahima also has a Zee
show ‘Jhansi Ki Rani’ and others like ‘Preeto’, and ‘Mile Jab Hum Tum’
to her credit. The other actors who have been roped in pivotal roles are
veteran actor Vaishnavi Mcdonald as Shail (Rachna’s mother and Gunjan’s
maasi). Shakti Singh will play the character of Dayaal (Rachna’s
father). Model/ actor Diwakar Pundir will play the character of Akash
(Gunjan’s father) whereas Mansi Salve will play the character of Sneha
(Gunjan’s mother). The show is being produced by Shakuntalam Telefilms,
who have hit shows like ‘Banoo Main Teri Dulhann’ and ‘Na Aana Iss Desh
Laado’ to their credit.
“We’ve made the show look youthful
and appealing,” said the producer, Neelima Bajpai, “We have given Gunjan
a very youthful and trendy look. She’s a typical big city girl who is
in tune with the latest trends in clothes, accessories and wears all
modern attires, junk jewellery like toe rings, funky neck pieces,
stylish bangles, carries chic bags & has a huge collection of shoes.
She is the epitome of modern & liberated urban girl who is
uninhibited in her styling & lives life on her own terms. Since
Rachna comes from a conservative family in Varanasi with a strict
father. She wears ill fitting clothes, wears an old HMT watch, oils and
braids her hair and has only one pair of slippers and would pass off in a
crowd as any other ordinary girl. It was very important to show the
contrast between the two girls, both by their looks & nature. Even
when it came to their homes in Mumbai & Varanasi, we used bright
colours for the girl’s rooms. Gunjan’s room is more hip & chic while
Rachna’s room is simple yet pretty. We have used shades of pink &
purples in the rooms of the girls to give it a very youthful feel. Along
with hip, chic room for Gunjan, there’s trendy props & curtains
whereas it’s simple & colourful for Rachna.”
Said an exuberant Rupal Tyagi, “I’m
loving every moment shooting for ‘Sapne Suhane Ladakpan ke’. The
character of Gunjan is so like me. Like Gunjan, I’m also a typical
Mumbaiyaa girl who lives life on her own terms and is full of life. I’m
so lucky and fortunate that Zee TV has selected me as one of the lead
protagonist in the show.” Echoing the same thought, says Mahima, “Though
I have done shows in the past, I feel this show is going to be my
launch pad. It’s an honour to be associated with Zee TV as I love
watching all Zee TV shows like, DID, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, Hitler Didi and
Mrs. Kaushik ki Paanch Bahuein. We had fun shooting for the show in
Varanasi and Rupal has already become a good friend. I’m sure that the
viewers will like our love-hate relationship.”
