By Anil Merani: I and many Teri Meri Doriyaann (TMD) fans will miss our favourite Star Plus show, which has just gone off-air It was one of the best serials of the day. No wonder it lasted so long (, 18 months). Today, most shows shut down in a matter of months.
Instead of focusing solely on the actors, I want to talk about the production house behind the show.
Cockcrow & Shaika Entertainment deserve total praise for thinking of such a lovely concept and executing it to the T.
It is no mean feat to zero in on a concept today as the audience has become very erratic.
Plus, they chose a Sardar family backdrop; hence, they had to be very careful to avoid cultural gaffes.
The writing team wrote a very engaging story that held the audience’s interest to the very end.
Now, when it comes to casting, it is always a challenge to zero in on two actors and then work with them to create the necessary onscreen chemistry.
Instead of choosing both fresher leads (Often done to save money), the makers first chose Vijayendra Kumeria, who has done a lot of good work over the years and then chose a Punjabi TV serial gal, Himanshi Parashar, as the female lead.
The creative team must have had a tough time with her initially, as it is not easy to be the female lead, and the whole show runs on her.
Both Vijayendra and Himanshi have delivered to the T.
Here, I will also talk about the supporting cast, without whom no show is possible. All the actors have performed par excellence
Also, the direction and the creative team who toil day and night to ensure timely delivery of episodes.
I also thank the audience for their support. You guys encouraged the team every step of the way.
Your constant feedback helped the writers fine-tune the characters.
In closing, we cannot thank the Star Plus creative team enough for their consistent cooperation with the PH in making TMD what it became.
They hand-held the PH team all the way. Such synergy is essential for any show.
The channel marketing team also worked very hard to spread the message of TMD nationwide and beyond.
