Bondita and Anirudh Roy Chowdhary’s legacy from one of the most beloved television shows, ‘Barrister Babu,’ lives on through their daughters in COLORS‘ ‘Durga Aur Charu.’
Durga is her mother’s shadow, and Charu is her mother’s soul. The show follows the journey of two sisters who are related by blood but are opposed due to their upbringing after being separated as children.
The show, produced by Shashi Sumeet Productions, will premiere on December 12th and will air Monday through Friday at 8:30 pm. The channel has cast popular actors Aurra Bhatnagar and Vaishnavi Prajapati in the lead roles of Durga and Charu, two sisters.
Set in the pre-and post-Independence era, ‘Durga Aur Charu’ chronicles the story of Durga (Aurra Bhatnagar), a meek and pessimistic girl, and her street-smart elder sister Charu (Vaishnavi Prajapati).
“Delivering stories that strike a chord with our viewers has always been our focus at COLORS,” says Manisha Sharma, Chief Content Officer, Hindi Mass Entertainment, Viacom18. This was the story of Barrister Babu, a show that was hugely popular with the audience.
“Continuing its legacy, our new fiction show Durga Aur Charu traces the heartfelt journey of Bondita and Anirudh’s daughters who are raised in two different environments resulting in having contrasting personalities. As we present a fresh chapter and the continuation of the popular show, we hope to receive the same love and appreciation with Durga and Charu,” Sharma said.
