Adolescence – an age of both disorientation and discovery. Remember how fearless, confused, exhilarated, love struck, hopeful, elated, curious, nervous we felt at that age? Even after decades, can we ever forget those first giddy-headed, confused times when we thought that we were in love with someone, and conquering the world seemed well within our reach? To transport you back in time and give you a taste of your wonder years, Zee TV brings to you a colorful tale of two girls who are diametrically different from each other. Premiering on 21st May at 7 30 pm, Garnier Light presents Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke is a story about two 16- year- olds, Gunjan and Rachna.
Gunjan is a smart, suave 16- year- old girl who lives in Mumbai and shares a wonderful relationship with her mother Sneha. As fate would have it, Gunjan’s life falls apart when her mother passes away and her father sends her to her maasi’s (mother’s sister) place in Varanasi so that she’s well taken care of. Gunjan moves to Varanasi to stay with her maasi, Shail (enacted by Vaishnavi Mcdonald) and here, begins the story of Gunjan and Rachna.
The wonder years are our teenage years where we make mistakes and learn from it as it is the threshold of what we become eventually in life. ‘Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke’ is a story of two young girls who are like chalk and cheese! Gunjan is pampered and speaks her mind. She has lived in a close knit, nuclear family whereas Rachna is a shy and reticent girl living in a joint family and is very dependent on her mom, Shail. The story talks of love, everlasting friendship, the joys of sharing & caring, the fights and the making-up between sisters who form a unique, close bond which completes them as individuals. The show explores both the teenager’s and Shails’s journey in this crucial phase. How will Gunjan cope moving to Varanasi after her mother’s death? Will she be able to adjust in Shail’s middle class household? Will Shail be a responsible parent to both girls? The story tries to encapsulate all these fine nuances of life beautifully and give the audience a taste of their growing up years.
Said the Fiction Head of Zee TV, Mr. Sukesh Motwani,“Sapne Suhane Ladakpan ke is all about celebrating adolescence. The teenage years mark the real beginning of a person’s blossoming youth and the events that occur in one’s life in this period leave permanent imprints affecting his/her personality. The teenage years are when one faces their first crushes, love, despair of love, mistakes, joys of friendship, togetherness, heartbreaks, emotional turmoil, rebellious feelings etc. The show is full of hope, aspirations, wish, longing, desire and yearning. The idea was to enrich the lives of the viewers through an endearing content which will remind them of their carefree wonder years.”
