A leap for ‘Kahani..,‘Parvati’ gets modern

NEW DELHI, Nov 17: ‘Generation Leaps’ seem to be fast becoming the norm on television with an increasing number of weekly and daily shows going for ‘fast forward’ leap in a bid to keep the audience interest alive.

Beginning this Wednesday, ‘Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki’, one of the most popular prime time soaps on television, has taken another 18 year leap, following close on the heels of close on the heels of ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’, ‘Kasauti Zindagi Ki’, ‘Des Mein Nikla Hoga Chand’ and ‘Kum Kum’.

A unique feature of the post-generation leap ‘Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki’ will be a "never-before-seen avatar" donned by the central character of Parvati Bhabhi. In the post-leap phase, Parvati, played by TV actor Sakshi Tanwar, dons a modern garb with her wardrobe, her style and her appearance being designed by none other that Bollywood’s famous fashion designer Manish Malhotra.

This is the first time that the celebrated fashion designer has associated himself with designing the wardrobe for a television serial or character.
