Pehle chalna sikhaya tha, ab rasta dikhayegi… Sony Entertainment Television’s ‘Indiawaali Maa’

The word Maa evokes a gamut of emotions and it is the mother who sets a strong foundation for any child’s future. While a mother’s love is universal, an Indian mother surpasses the highest benchmark of motherly duties and selfless affection! While she encourages and supports her child’s future and gives them wings to fly, she is always around to pick them up when they fall. Bacche bhale hi haath chhod de, Maa saath nahin chhodti, no matter what age. Sony Entertainment Television’s latest offering Indiawaali Maa brings forth an endearing and a relatable journey of a mother who doesn’t give up on her son, even though he proclaims to not need her. Starring Suchita Trivedi (Kaushalya), Nitesh Pandey (Hasmukh), Akshay Mhatre (Rohan) and Sheen Dass (Chinamma), Indiawaali Maa ascertains the determination of a mother and her dedication towards her child. Produced by Jai Productions, the show premieres on 31st August and will air every Mon-Fri at 8:30pm only on Sony Entertainment Television.

As a child, our ‘go to’ person is our beloved maa. But as we grow up to become independent adults, a mother never outgrows her feelings. Even though our mother pushes us to achieve our dreams, she’s never deterred from watching over us. But over time, why does this equation starts changing? Knowingly or unknowingly, why do we end up pushing our mothers away? Such is the story of Kaushalya, aka Kaku, a simple, free-spirited mother from Bhuj, who enjoys a well settled life with her supportive husband, Hasmukh. Their relationship is quite an endearing one, with Kaku being dependent on Hasmukh and enjoying being sheltered & pampered by him. But the bone of contention between the husband and wife is their only son, Rohan. While Kaku constantly pines for her US-based son’s attention but Hasmukh, being the practical one, senses that Rohan has drifted apart. However, Kaku being the quintessential mother dismisses her son’s neglect and believes in standing by him like she always has. This determination of Kaku sets her on a journey to reach out to her son, overcome all odds and redefine the true essence of being an Indiawaali Maa.
