Producer Rashmi Sharma shocked one and all, when she presented a commercial Hindi TV show that highlights the protagonist being a kinnar. Not many would have predicted Shakti... Astitva Ke Ehsaas Kii to be the resounding success it is today, and it continues to go stronger than ever.

After all this while, Rashmi is back with another show that highlights a social issue in the form of upcoming show, Roop - Mard Ka Naya Swaroop. The show will be portraying how a boy child leans to help and be like his mother and sisters instead of the quintessential 'man' which his father wants him to be.

In a vis-a-vis conversation with Rashmi herself, we asked her if the idea of highlighting another social issue is a conscious effort; to which she said, "Not at all. We are in the entertainment industry, where we see a barrage of shows coming in and going out every other day. So, as a creative person, I feel it is important to give something to the society through this medium. In all my shows, I have tried to portray women reaching a certain point, and the whole story surrounding the same. But, at the same time, it is a deliberate effort that we take up subjects that are only meaningful."

So do we see Roop being as successful as Shakti has been? We really hope so.
