Dheeraj Kumar launches five new faces in his latest serial, Ghar Ki Lakshmi-Betiyann

With one foot planted firmly in mythology and another in social issues, production house Creative Eye is slowly and steadily climbing its way up the commercial ladder. Even as Dheeraj Kumar's Man Mein Hai Vishwaas launched on Sony, he is ready with yet another show — Ghar Ki Lakshmi-Betiyann; a social soap for Zee. Talking about the USP of the serial, Dheeraj says, "The story revolves around five girls in a family, who are different. I have finalised these five new faces, after a thorough audition that went on for a long time in places like Lucknow, Delhi, Amritsar and Bhopal. Our audiences love to see fresh faces and it is also easier to mould a new actor. I am sure viewers will just love them. The others in the cast will be reputed names from the industry, who are yet to be finalised." Although the channel is tight-lipped about the telecast of the serial, Dheeraj sounds hopeful, "We have already started shooting the first episode. It is a daily, slotted for the prime time. …Betiyann is scheduled to go on air sometime in October."

He adds,"As you can see from the promos, the show gives a message against discrimination towards girls within a family."
