Popular TV show " Tamanna ", which was scheduled to end in May, has got an extension of a month on popular demand.

A show which unfolded a tale about aspirations of a girl to make it big as a cricketer and her journey towards realising the dream on the small screen, "Tamanna" features Anuja Sathe as the protagonist Dharaa Solanki. Having gone on air on February 1, it was to come to a close mid-May, but will now be bidding adieu in June .

Anuja is happy that the show got an extension on popular demand. "I am so happy that my character has received so much of love from the viewers. This is the real award that any actor can ask for," Anuja said in a statement. "I am overwhelmed that 'Tamanna' is getting an extension. We promise to continue delivering quality work and keep our audiences happy," she added.

The Star Plus show revolves around the life of Dharaa and her unconventional dream of becoming a cricketer. It highlighted three phases of her life -- childhood, marriage, divorce and how she emerges as a strong woman who doesn't give up on her dream. Currently, the track of the show is based in Meerut where Dharaa, now a single mother, has become a coach and is training a team of 11 boys for a tournament.

Producer Ajinkya Deo said: "The show has received a lot of appreciation and critical acclaim from viewers and so, it has been extended. We are happy that audiences could connect with Dhara's journey."

Besides Anuja, "Tamanna", which has been shot across various locations in Gujarat and Mumbai, also features Ketki Dave, Kiran Karmarkar, Harsh Chhaya and Vishal Gandhi.

Great news! I don't get to comment much but really look forward to this show.

Its well acted, well written and apart from a few excesses is so rational, sensible and relatable compared to the trash that is shown on tv. I'm really glad its been extended as I think we still have more aspects of Dharaa's journey to appreciate.

As someone said very well Tamanna would be very popular if we had eyelocks, trip-fall-catches and flying dupattas. Whereas here we have a (mostly) sensible, dignified and self-respecting female protagonist. Abuse is not portrayed as love or passion but as just nastiness. There is no nonsense about trying to win over the possessive mean husband and change him with love - there is a realistic depiction of a normal girl's love and devotion failing to change or "reform" a mean character. Very much needed as an antidote to so many other shows who in some cases started off quite well but changed to nonsense and fell victim to the jumping the shark syndrome just due to popularity of the actors.
I really like everyone in the show (apart from Mihir of course!) and would like to meet any of them. They are so believable and I really like Anuja/ Dharaa!

best of luck to all the team

Brilliantly put. Star Plus should have the courage to stick with finite shows. Or at the minimum it should use the cash from the TRP drivers to subsidise quality shows. This is a successful business model used by media houses. Star Plus has deep pockets and if it sticks with its decision, it could start a new trend. Btw I was the one who wrote about eyelocks and flying dupattas.:))
