'Betiyaan' celebrates its first birthday

Zee's 'Ghar Ki Lakshmi Betiyaan' will soon complete one successful year. This tale of a Gujarati family depicting the archaic mindset of Indians has been widely accepted by viewers. As a tribute to the show, the channel will commemorate 'Betiyaan' Diwas, a week long celebration that'll see a lot of eminent personalities talking about daughters.

"It's great to be a part of this show. The channel deserves credit for highlighting sensitive social issue like gender discrimination and dowry. I would like to thank viewers without whom we could not have achieved this," says Twinkle Bajpai.

So, was she apprehensive of taking up such a role? "I was more than happy to accept such a meaty role. At the end of the day, I'm satisfied as an actor," quips Twinkle.

How do you relate to your character? "I'm just a replica of Laxmi. Both of them react the same way to a similar situation," adds Twinkle.

Director Rajan Shahi says, "I'm thrilled that 'Ghar Ki…' has completed one year and have no words to describe my happiness. I'm honored to know that viewers across the world have appreciated our hard work. It's a unique theme of female emancipation and the high ratings are a clear validation of this fact. However, we're not going to introduce any new characters in the show."

What's the concept of 'Betiyaan' diwas? He says, "As our show is based on the lives of four daughters so we thought of celebrating daughter's day with a difference. We've invited some well known personalities from different working backgrounds to talk about the sorry state of daughters in our country and how we all can try to improve it. We want people to stop discriminating between sons and daughters."
