In the recent times, daily soaps on TV have seen a spurt in women centric shows that have spunky, headstrong girls in title tracks, who are shown standing up for their rights and dreams. Instead of focussing on love stories and the adarsh bahu broiled-in-family-politics storylines, there are a number of serials on air now and coming up, that tell stories of feisty young women, who have dreams they want to fulfil and become achievers. These strong women characters are making TV viewing for women different and a more interesting experience.

This show is about a superheroine fighting baddies to bring justice to one and all. A part of the Maharakshak trilogy of the channel, the show tells the story of a girl who discovers her superpowers and sets out to combat contemporary social evils.
