Ardhangini – is the story of a girl named Kangana, who's beauty leaves everyone spellbound, but to her dismay, Kangana has to given in to the twists and turns of life. With focusing on issues like colour, gender discrimination, illiteracy, the creative team of Zee now addresses an issue like such, giving a fresh edge to the channel.

Mr. Punit Goenka, the business Head of Zee states, "I had heard concepts galore but never on the first hearing have I taken to a subject. It is also the first time that we are portraying a Bengali backdrop. We have specially flown in people from Kolkata and W Bengal to help us with the design, sets and costumes. I am sure a lot of people will be able to relate to the subtle prejudices that we have shown. It's a very mature subject and we have Sudeepa Singh, from our very own India's Best - Cinestars Ki Khoj playing the lead. We have worked together with Jay (Mehta) before and are confident of this show."

Joining Sudeepa will be none other than Mamta's Ajay Krishh as the main protagonist of the show. Ardhangini takes over the 11:00pm prime time slot which was earlier taken by Shreya Creation's Har Ghar Kuch Kehta Hain, which now finds itself in the 7:00pm slot.

According to sources, the channel was not happy with the way the show was presented and decided to give the production house enough time to make new episodes. "The channel wasn't impressed with the technicalities of the show. The way the show was presented wasn't appeasing to them. The channel spoke to the production house, and they mutually agreed to redo all the previously shot episodes. Considering the high standards Zee has set for themselves, the decision taken by them, is absolutely justified. The promos look so elegant and the episodes also need to carry forward the same standards.. "

Catch Ardhagini starting the 29^th of October at 11:00pm on Zee TV.

Can you tell us something about your character?

I am playing a Bengali girl called Kangana. Kangana is a very happy go lucky, larger than life kind of a girl. She just loves everything about life. She is extremely beautiful, but her beauty becomes a curse for her. I can't reveal about what goes wrong, but yea, she faces a lot of turmoil, yet she is very happy and learns to move on in life. She is in love with Priyam. She spends her entire childhood waiting for him. Other than this, I like the Bengali touch in the story; since my first name is Bengali, so I guess that's where the connection lies. (Laughs)

Doesn't this remind you of Devdas?

Well, one can say that the extravagant sets, and the Bengali touch in the story might remind you of Devdas, but the story is quite different. Here we are really focusing on the Bengali element, as there aren't many Bengali shows on Indian Television. So, I believe, this is the USP of this show.

How is it to be a part of Jay Productions?

Jai and Kinnari are an excellent team to work for. They are so professional, as well as friendly. The unit is just a mind blowing place to work for. The royal treatment that I get on the sets, it feels like its my first show.

How is Ajay Krish as a co actor?

He is a senior actor to me; he too keeps teasing me saying the same thing, that he has played an older character in a show on Zee. But on a serious note, he has helped me out a lot. He has been like a coach to me on the sets. We rehearse our scenes together; he is so enthusiastic and is a perfectionist in the scenes. I have honestly learnt a lot from him.

Was there any issue to re shoot the entire script, since Zee scrapped all your earlier episodes?

Zee is a channel that has set up a mark for it self with excellent shows, and it's perfectly fine if they wanted us to re shoot the scenes. They wanted the sets to be bigger and the ambience more bright and loud, and being professionals, it was no big deal to re shoot everything. Bottom line is that we want this show to do the best, and that's what matters.

We heard that there is soon going to be a triangle love story in the show, so, who is the third guy?

I cant reveal who the second lead is. The triangle love story will come in the picture a little later, right now they are focusing on introducing Kangana.

This led to an argument between her and the production house but eventually the scene was shot with some modifications.
