In the ongoing track, Kathaa (Aditi Dev Sharma), a single mother, is racing against time to raise Rs 1 crore for her son Aarav’s surgery. After exhausting all her options she seeks help from her father-in-law, Kailash Garewal, played by actor Gireesh Sahdev. Having been in the industry for around two decades, Gireesh is now portraying a grey character in the show.
He shares, “My character Kailash is a strong-headed man who keeps his ego first rather than emotions. I was thrilled that a show like Katha Ankaee, remake of a popular Turkish drama, is coming on Indian television. The concept of the show is very intriguing especially a mother’s journey to save her child. I am sure that I will get to explore a new aspect of my craft through Kathaa Ankahee.”
