Favorite on-screen ‘Moms’ of Television

 Favorite on-screen ‘Moms’ of Television

Throughout Indian television's history, it has portrayed some of the most remarkable female characters in various shows, depicting mothers as the embodiment of love, care, compassion, and sacrifice. These small-screen mothers have made a lasting impression on viewers' minds. &TV artists, on this Mother's Day talk about playing different shades of doting mothers onscreen. These include Neha Joshi (Yashoda, Doosri Maa), Kamna Pathak (Rajesh, Happu Ki Ultan Paltan), and Soma Rathod (Amma Ji, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai). Neha Joshi, aka Yashoda from Doosri Maa, shares, “Doosri Maa is a show that celebrates the incomparable feeling of motherhood. Yashoda, the main character, demonstrates unwavering support for her children through life's challenges. 



Her love for her children transcends blood relations, and she fights against all odds to protect Krishna, her son. Yashoda embodies fierce, nurturing motherhood and will go to great lengths to ensure the safety and wellbeing of her three children: Krishna (Aayudh Bhanushali), Astha (Aadvika Sharma), and Noopur (Anya Galwan). Yashoda treats all her children equally and impartially, instilling good values and fostering a united family. She is an independent, strong-willed woman whose children are her world, making her an exemplary mother.”

 


Kamna Pathak, aka Rajesh Singh from Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, shares, “In my show, I play the role of a mother to nine children, each with their distinct personalities. Whether it's Hritik (Aryan Prajapati), Chamchi (Zaara Warsi), Kate Singh (Gazal Sood), Ranbir (Somya Azad), or Malaika (Sonal Panwar), my love for them is equal, even if I sometimes have to resort to "Pyaar and maar" (laughs). My character Rajesh knows how to keep all her children happy and will do anything to fulfill their wishes. She is the family's pillar, providing strength and support to her children. Rajesh is like the family's police officer, ensuring that everything is under control. Without her, the house would be in chaos. She never tires of performing her motherly duties, making her the perfect supermom. Although she can be strict, setting rules for her family to follow, her primary goal is to keep her children happy.” Soma Rathod, aka Amma Ji from Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hai, shares, “Amma Ji is a joyful, free-spirited, and vibrant individual who commands respect from everyone, including her son Manmohan Tiwari (Rohitashv Gour). She provides unwavering support to her daughter-in-law, Angoori (Shubhangi Atre), always offering sound advice and standing by her side when needed. Her affectionate and supportive nature towards Angoori makes her an exceptional mother and mother-in-law. Interestingly, Amma Ji is probably the only Saasu Maa on Indian television who loves her daughter-in-law more than her son (laughs). Despite her traditional appearance, Amma Ji is a forward-thinking problem-solver, making her an exceptional mother and mother-in-law.”



Tune in to Doosri Maa at 8:00 pm, Happu Ki Ultan Paltan at 10:00 pm, and Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai at 10:30 pm, airing every Monday to Friday only on &TV!

Filmmaker Neha Lohia and Woman Spiritual leader Sadhvi ji New York from Hollywood to the Himalayas 

 

Neha wants to promote Eastern culture, and women in spiritual leadership positions and empower humanity by creating films, content, and opportunities that explore deeper truths, and bridge the gap between east and west, body mind and soul.

 

Woman spiritual leader Sadhvi Ji, left her cushy life to help people find their paths to inner fulfilment when she found her own. It was truly a heart-warming and soul- nourishing experience for the collective that was gathered this day to learn tools to unleash creativity and inner strength using eastern ways of the heart.

 

New York’s incredible talent came together to support Neha. Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, The Indian consulate in New York, several dignitaries like Tirlok Malik the filmmaker, Prashant Goyal, founder of heritage India fashions, Shiv Khemka of tGELF, queens world film festival, chip away productions, apple productions and a devoted team including media professionals like Kai MKenna, art director Nabha, influencer Christine Mendes, screenwriter Henry Negrete, producer Boby Lohat, chef Dhara shah, animator Coumba Seye, musician Indro and photographer Rob Klein. TV Asia, ITV, Parikh media, QPTV and so many press and media organizations too joined in full capacity.

 


“Show me one spiritual scripture ever written by a woman,” said Neha when she was asked why she is determined to promote women in spiritual leadership and Eastern culture through her films and work. “When were we as women ever allowed to have a voice, a say, and be given the chance to share the wisdom that is trusted only in us as women, as creators? Pain, suffering, each rejection, and denial are a portal, for me, these are truths of life, stories of resilience of the human spirit and I wish to create through them. My work is connecting with people’s hearts as I am able to relate to their hurt, pain, and suffering at that very base level of my own. It is time we recognize that everything is created by Shakti, by her power in this world and we need to give her the share of the stage, validation, and recognition that she deserves. This is my dharma path to say the stories of this Shakti in very many forms and showcase her through all my works.”- Neha Lohia.

 


Sadhvi Ji and Neha are women from opposite parts of the world, different Janmabhoomi (birth land), and are now serving on different karma Bhoomi (work land) merging all boundaries and sharing the gifts of India and eastern spirituality as women leaders in their own ways and work. There will be many more things these 2 women are determined to create and offer the world together and independently in the days to come.

 

The event was a packed house and attended by Indian and American dignitaries, actors, doctors, media professionals, authors, and business tycoons of NYC. The guests were deeply moved and unanimously encouraged Neha. They mentioned this work is needed now more than ever and that they are in complete support of her vision.

 Bhagyashree, Raima Sen, Hitten Ttejwani, Aditi Govitrikar get bold in NRI WIVES


The film features celebrated actors like- Samir Soni, Jugal Hansraj, Raima Sen, Hiten Tejwani, Bhagyashree, Kiku Sharda, Gaurav Gera, Sadiya Siddiqui, Gunjan Kuthiala, Samiksha Oswal, Javed Pathan, Aditi Govitrikar, Olivia Malhotra, Kapil Arora




One of its kind Cinematic experience  Bold subject stories wherein Producer, Writer Gunjan Kuthiala (Owner of NRILIFE Productions) believes that we don’t need to incorporate nudity for the heck of it. She wanted to do the unexpected cast as in the “masoom face” jugal Hansraj in an open marriage relationship and Bhagyashree as high flying Executive having unfiltered conversations with her besties. Audience will see for the first time ever a film made on “Asexuality” subject and Bhagyashree has been casted for the same story opposite Hiten Tejwani to surprise the audience. The comedian Kiku Sharda is visible as a romantic character who says big size people don’t have the right to romance/love. Another Comedian Gaurav Gera can be seen as geeky and serious US based IT consultant opposite to home maker kinda NRI Wife Raima Sen, a story that touches bi sexuality/adolescent secrets. Lastly, the story of Gunjan with Samir Soni and Jugal Hansraj in Swinging is a subject which has been taboo and the way it’s presented in surprising ways is beyond elegance, graceful and implied. All these seasoned actors & more like Aditi Govitrikar, Hiten Tejwani agreed to touch such bold stories as the treatment of such courageous subjects was extremely unique and breathing relatable to many in the world who will agree that good people can show Grey Shades too in odd life circumstances. A new film maker is taking another leap of faith to show that it only takes belief and conviction to pursue your true calling and reach from A to Z and hence, releasing this interconnected tales of anthologies theatrically globally on 12th May (A day when Gunjan lost her daughter and she wants to convey a message that one can convert the worst day of her life in beautiful day too with belief, conviction and perseverance). This film is created with intent to create NRI Bollywood to contribute to millions of creative NRI dreams, who can’t quit their financial, social and visa commitments to explore mumbai.

Gunjan asks the question to creative gurus that is it mandatory to do a skin show to touch bold subject stories??? She questions, Which rule book says that WE- The common people want to see soft porn to enjoy thought provoking content. What do you think?
