A grand show

Woh Rehne Waali is the leading show on Sahara One with whopping TRP ratings. With a family-centric theme,the program embodies all that Rajshri Productions has to offer. Kavita attributes this to its realistic portrayal of relationships and marriage. “The average Indian viewer can easily relate to the storylines. We create plots that are full of hope. And in this day and age,who doesn’t need hope?” she says.

The show attempts to highlight the fact that people change and hence each character continues to evolve with each episode. Unlike other soaps where there are defined antagonists,Woh Rehne Waali has made it a point to depict life on a more grey scale. “Our negative characters are created with a purpose and a story behind their actions. They aren’t there for the sake of it,” explains the producer.

Initially,the show focused more on moments in the story but now it’s moving towards more drama and a faster pace. Having already completed 1,000 episodes,Kavita believes that it’s vital to keep the viewers engaged and interested. The way to do that is to make sure that there’s always ample material to work with.

Rajshri Production usually focuses on programs that analyse relationships and family. Kavita makes it clear that even after all this time,the show will continue in the same direction for the simple reason that there’s a lot of room left to explore. Though she does admit that it would be nice to branch out,for now,the ideas within these themes are still overflowing.

Kavita does not attribute the success of the show purely towards her. Her brother Sooraj is instrumental too. “He is very involved at both the plot and the script level. He was the most interested in creating this show when the idea was initially conceptualised,” she reveals.
