After Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin, Sony TV is gearing for another out-of-the-box storyline with their new show, Ambar Dhara. The show revolves around twins joined at the hip, who grow up in the mountains. For all practical purposes, they are two different entities with different aspirations but share the same body. Trouble begins when their mother passes away and one of the twins aspires to be a singer. To pursue her career, she wants to come to Mumbai. Thus begins the Siamese twins' journey in life, with twists and turns.

The show, produced by Siddharth Kumar Tiwari and Vikas Seth of Swastik Pictures, will feature two newcomers. Apparently, the new actresses, tied at the hips, are finding it a bit inconvenient to shoot. The show is being shot in Panchgani.

Mona Ambegaonkar is playing the mother of the twins and Paintal is playing the adoring grandfather. Viju Khote essays one of the key characters in the show. The rest of the cast includes Shweta Gulati and Harshad Chopra.

Mona Ambegaonkar says, "I am playing the mother in the show. Both the girls in the show are new. I cannot reveal anything about the storyline as I have been told by the channel not to do so."

Ambar Dhara is touted to be Sony TV's TRP grabber even before the show has settled. It is said that two directors have already left the show midway.

According to a well-placed source in Sony, "First, it was Hemant Prabhu, who was roped in to direct the show. But, he left it after the pilot and the second one has already quit the show. Now, the channel has roped in Bhushan Patel to infuse some energy in the show. Directors are really apprehensive about the subject which is first of its kind on Indian television. However, Sony is leaving no stone unturned to make it a successful show."

When contacted, Hemant said, "Yes, I shot the pilot. But, I left the show for some personal reasons. I don't know who is doing the show right now."

My oh my that sounds interesting, but will the Siamese twins will actually be able to bear the hectic schedules? Can't believe that they are using twins who are actually joined at the hips, well I am looking forward to this show if it is actually coming on-air.Thanks for sharing 😊

Yes, there is an article saying it will replace ELAS.

I must say this sounds like an extremely unique concept. I hope it works and give Sony the courage to make more such shows. 😊
