DELHI: A new television serial on Doordarshan’s national
network DD One seeks to show how a determined woman can bring
about a change in her own lifestyle and even change the wandering
ways of her errant husband.
Anaro,
a series being telecast by Doordarshan under the classics
series Katha Sarita every Monday at 9:30 pm, is based
on the renowned novel by the late Manjul Bhagat.
It
is the story of Anaro, a woman who is brought from her village
with dreams of a great future with her newly-wedded husband
in Delhi. However, she realises, upon arrival in the capital,

small hamlet.

her two children, sometimes even helping her demanding husband.
Living in a slum, Anaro begins life as a house maid working
in several homes, in an effort to give the best possible education
to her children.

School of Drama and FTII alumni Upender Sood and also has
