Actress Sudha Chandran, and actor Amar Upadhyay are all set to star in the thought-provoking social drama titled 'Doree', which touches upon the reality of many abandone🎃🐓d girls who are not embraced by their parents.
The social problem explored in the upcoming show addresses girls who are not the first choices of the parents in a pat♉riarchal society.
Addressing this discrimination, the ‘Doree’ canvasses a story that has ꦯthe potential to influence ♋the mindset, leading to change. The show traces the tale of Doree, a six-year-old girl who lives with her foster father Ganga Prasad in the Bunkar mohalla of Banaras.
Ganga Prasad is a dedicated father who finds his life’s purpose in upbringing ꧑Doree with great values and whose creative make-shift solutions ensure that his daughter does not feel deprived of facilities.
The promo 🐎opens with a heartwarming sight of Do𓂃ree helping her physically challenged father in folding a saree. She asks him who abandoned her in the sacred Ganges and the father answers that the ones who did were unfortunate.
While Ganga Pᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚrasad counts himself lucky to have a daughter, the ruler of Varanasi’s handloom empire, Kailashi Devi deems daughters as unworthy. A propagator of patriarchy, Kailashi Devi has a conservative worldview which is at odds with Doree, a progressive girl who believes in gender equality.
It will be inte🗹resting to watch what the clash of these two competing ide🐷ologies has in store for the viewers.
The show features Sudha Chandran as Kailashi Devi,🐈 Amar Upadhyay as Ganga Prasad, and child actor Mahi🌃 Bhanushali as the young Doree.
Talking about 𒁏her character, Sudha Chandran said: “I will be seen embodying the role of Kailashi Devi Thakur, a traditional Banarasi woman who propagates patriarchy in her household and runs a family business. That’s what excites me about bringing Kailashi Devi to life onscreen. The🍨 audiences have showered immense love on all my shows and celebrated the characters I’ve essayed. I hope they do the same for Doree.”
Amar Upadhyay shared: “I am thrilled about playing the role of Ganga Prasad in Doree. He’s a devoted father, who is determined to give his daughter the best life, despite having a disability. This is a kind of role that I have never portra❀yed before and will take my fans by surprise.”
“I am deeply grateful to the channel for offering this wonderful opportunity to feature in a show that will spark important social conversations around gender inequality through the endearing bond o♉f father and daughter,” he added.
Amar said that he hopes the show wins the viewers’ hearts𝓡 and the audiences embrace him as a doting father.
The show will soon air on Colors.
