Aditi Dev Sharma talks about the upcoming highpoint on Katha Ankahee

Sony Entertainment Television brought forth the Hindi remake of the superhit Turkish drama ‘1001 Nights’ (Binbir Gece), Kathaa Ankahee. Presenting a repentance love story like none other, the show is centred around an unforgettable wound that creates a rift between Katha and Viaan. Featuring  Adnan Khan as Viaan and Aditi Dev Sharma as Katha, the story tugs at the hearts of the audience as it showcases how love emerges from the darkest of moments. So far, the viewers have witnessed how Katha, a single mother is hustling against time to source 1 crore for her child, Aarav’s surgery. While she is broken from within, she puts on a smiling face in front of Aarav and continues to fight it out even after facing many rejections or disappointment with regards to collecting the funds.

Amidst all the chaos that Kathaa is going through, she tries all her means to save her child, be it getting humiliated by her in-laws to asking for a bank loan or a desperate need to collect money via crowdsourcing websites that can lead to her job in trouble. Looking at Aarav’s critical condition, a helpless Katha even thinks of giving up her own life so that Aarav gets the insurance money. But fortunately, smelling something fishy, the insurance agent advises her not to think of something that can ruin the kid’s life forever. After multiple trial and errors, she exhausts all her resources. Being a woman of principles, she even rejects the offer of getting the whole sum of 1 crore in return for betraying Viaan’s company. Now she is left with only one way and that is requesting her boss Viaan to help her out with a loan of 1 crore rupees. But making Kathaa’s world fall apart with just one thing, will be Viaan’s indecent proposal; that leaves her stunned. Viaan gets ready to pay the amount but in return asks her to spend a night with him. Standing at a difficult crossroad in life, what will Katha do?? Will Katha, a woman of integrity and self-worth let go of her self-respect for her son’s life? Or will she choose her self-respect? 

A woman is a working professional for maybe 8 to 10 hours but a mother for 24 hours. A mother can sacrifice a lot of things in her life but will she go to an extent where her self-respect is at stake? Shedding light on the upcoming highpoint, Aditi Dev Sharma who is essaying the role of Kathaa says, “Mother’s are an epitome of selfless love; For her, the child is the most priceless thing and she is always ready to walk on fire for them. Similar is the case with Katha who is running door to door to do everything possible to save Aarav who is losing out on time now.  And, amidst all of this, Kathaa finds herself in a very difficult place where her son who is her life is literally counting his last breaths and on the other hand she can get the required amount of money but at the cost of scarring her self-respect forever. The difficult chapter of Kathaa’s life unfolds from here on where she is in a dilemma to choose between her child and an irreversible pain that is going to haunt her for life if she takes Viaan’s offer. While she cannot disclose the reason behind her need for money as she has life to her office before about being single to secure the job.”

Adding further to it, “Viaan on the other hand starts to have a different perception about Kathaa and tries to test her by putting forward the offer. This is one of the most challenging phase of Katha’s life which will definitely pique the interest of the audience as to figure out what will Katha, a single mother do? Shooting for this particular sequence was a slight challenge as there are so many emotions involved and as a mother I felt everything rushing within me. It still gives me goosebumps thinking about it. By far, it was one of the most difficult sequences that I shot and a part of it will always remain with me.”
