Ek Nayi Pehchaan starring the veteran actress Poonam Dhillon as Sharda Modi in lead role talks about women empowerment and focuses on self awakening as well as self respect of women - especially housewives who although are the real home makers yet are always neglected, not only by their husbands but also by their children.
Other than Poonam Dhillon it also stars Sooraj Thapar as Suresh Modi (Sharda's husband), Karan Sharma as Karan Modi (Sharda and Suresh's son) and Krystle D'Souza as Sakshi Modi (Karan's wife and Sharda's daughter-in-law). Buzz is that another veteran actress Padmini Kolhapure too would seen as Sooraj's "another" wife in coming episodes.
The cute veteran actress Poonam Dhillon gets to play the role of Sharda, a mother and wife who is always sidelined by her family due to her lack of education. Yes, she is illiterate in the show and that is why we see her husband Suresh keeps on taunting her. Her children are also no less. However, despite being treated badly due to her lack of education, she remains good to them - showering all her time and energy on the not so deserving family.
Few shows in Indian TV Industry show a good rapport between a saas and her bahu, Ek Nayi Pehchaan is one among those few. Here, both Sharda and Sakshi supports each other. While Sakshi as a daughter in law wants her mother in law to learn and start looking beyond her household duties, Sharda is like a pillar of support to Sakshi whenever she needs helps in her relationship with her husband Karan.
Often in our everyday life their comes a moment when we are very gloomy and sad. However, the gyaan given by Sharda to her bahu Sakshi and the thoughts shared by Sakshi with her mother in law not only helps them but also us as a viewer. Both, Poonam and Krystle acts not only as Gyaani Guru but also as Agony Aunts, encouraging you with their own unique sentences.
It took 100 episodes for Karan to consummate his marriage with Sakshi. However, right from the beginning the couple's screen presence has been one of the USP of the show. Their bitterness has finally taken over by their love and their romantic scenes is a real treat to the eyes of the TV viewers.
Padmini Kolhapure, one of the most favored actresses of the 80s has been roped in to play sautan to Poonam Dhillon aka Sharda Modi. This is not only Padmini's comeback after a long sabbatical but also her TV debut. No wonder, it will be viewer's delight to watch both, Padmini Kolhapure and Poonam Dhillon sharing the same screen.
