Story at a glance: (Source: Star Pravaah website)

Anandi, is the epitome of grace and beauty. She is the only daughter of Sriram Gokhale. She is a 20-year-old beautiful girl. Inspite of being beautiful, her marriage is not getting fixed, as she is blind. Anandi has done her education through Braille.

Anandi was born in Gokhale family after a along time. At present they are old when Anandi is grown up. They are concerned about Anandi's marriage, otherwise who will take care of her after them. No young guy from a good family is ready to marry her because of blindness.

Prakash Kalbhor, Sriram Gokhale's friend visits him at his residence in Mumbai, Sriram shares his problem relating to Anandi with Prakash. Prakash starts looking for a groom for Anandi and in a fortnight he finds one. The prospective is groom is from Mumbai and he is the eldest son of Shri Ashok Paranjpe. The date for two families meeting gets fixed, and happiness spreads in Sriram's place.

On the decided date the families met, Sriram and his wife are happy seeing a good looking young lad. But Prakash introduces him as the boy's younger brother Sudhir and next to him is the boy standing Vinayak who has come to see Anandi. Vinayak is a 35-year-old man with dark complexion. Seeing this, Gokhale and his wife are disappointed.

Vinayak has crossed 35 years of age, there could be two reasons to his single status so far - it could be because of his looks or him being busy in his business. Vinayak likes Anandi and gives his consent for marriage. But Gokhale and wife ask for some more time to make up their mind. Prakash convinces them that the boy is from a well to do family and even the horoscopes of Vinayak and Anandi are matching. Hearing all this Sriram Gokhale and wife do have no option but to say yes to the proposal with a heavy heart. Anandi has no idea about her prospective husband's look, age etc. She has agreed to marry Vinayak as her parents want so.

Vinayak and Aanandi's marriage get solemnized. The entire Paranjpe family is happy due to this auspicious marriage ceremony except one person that is Manjiri, wife of Vinayak's younger brother Sudhir. Manjiri never wanted this marriage to happen, as there may be issue of Vinayak, which will result in split of family's property and her ambition to see Ayush, her son, being the sole inheritor gets shattered.

On the bridal night, Sudhir sees Vinayak walking up and down in front his own room. Sudhir enquires about the reason of his restlessness, Vinayak then comes out with the lurking self doubt and fear. If Anandi comes to know of his ugly look once she gets her eyesight back then she may leave him, which Vinayak doesn't want as he had fallen in love with her at the first sight. He feels that he has taken advantage of her blindness and got married. Vinayak feels guilty. Sudhir tries to explain Vinayak that they need each other as the circumstances are such. Hearing Sudhir's logic Vinayak gets confidence and breathes a sigh of relief to enter his room. Manjiri was hearing the discussion of the two brothers from a distance and at the same time her mind was planning for the future.

Next day, in the morning Vinayak comes out of his room, seeing him some of the family members pass some naughty comments, he was about to get out of the house but Manjiri comes in his way and conveys to him that Panditji has advised not go for any issue for a year's time, if a son/daughter is born in a year's time then possibly it may be a blind baby. Hearing this Vinayak gets a shock and fails to understand how to react to the situation. Manjiri is pleased that she has hit the right spot.

Vinayak becomes indifferent towards Anandi, he keeps her at a distance. She is at pain realising his indifference and feels that he is staying away, because of her blindness. Seeing all this Manjiri is still not satisfied and schemes to add fuel to the fire.

One fine morning Manjiri rushes into the house in a very happy mood, the family members try to understand the reason of her pulsating heart and the face radiating with happiness. She reveals that she has shown the report of Anandi to Dr. Bhosle and according to Dr. Bhosle Anandi can get back her eye sight. All in the family are over joyed hearing this good news but a line of tension crosses Vinayak's face. A feeling of insecurity sips into him, he realises that Anandi will leave him the day she gets her eye sight back. And Manjiri has very quietly read the on going trail of thoughts in Vinayak's mind.

It's all about the fear of Vinayak, imaging himself as the unhappy husband once Anandi gets eye sight. The story is all about Anandi's shattered dreams.

He aspires to be the Chief Minister in the upcoming elections. He is however warned by Bhavani Mai, a lady who can foresee n predict the future that he won’t live to see the elections. Narsinha gets mentally disturbed by this prediction. Thereupon a solution is proposed to avoid this calamity that requires Narsinha to marry an unmarried virgin, girl. Now Krushna aatya, his aunt is faced with a new dilemma of finding such a girl who will be ready to marry Narsinha at his age.

In the meantime, a villager leaves his young daughter Janaki at the hands of the Killedar family because of his financial problems. She seems to be the perfect candidate for Narsinha’s 2nd marriage in the eyes of Krushna aatya after her attempt to find a suitable girl for Narsinha failed at the first try.

Will Narsinha agree to this marriage? Will his daughter Amruta & the other family members accept her in place of his first wife…how the story unfolds from now on would be something to look forward to.

Sunil Barve as RJ on Radio Surabhi!

0
For those who are not yet aware, Sunil Barve is also hosting a show on Radio Surabhi called तो हा सुनिल बरवा ...

Sunil Barve as RJ on Radio SurabhiThis is a show where Sunil talks about his favorite topics & plays his favorite Marathi songs for the listeners. Every week he selects a different topic. The show has been on air since the inception of the channel from Nov 6, 2006. The first show of तो हा सुनिल बरवा... was aired on Nov 12, 2006.

Every once in a while he has celebrity guests on the show whom he interviews & chats with, in an informal setting.So far celebrities that have been on the show include Shri. Shaunak Abhishekhi, Dr. Saleel Kulkarni, Pallavi Joshi, Dr. Girish Oak, Neena Kulkarni. Sunil has also done a telephonic interview of Shri. Anil Avchat on the show.

This is a very new experience for him as also for us, who get to see another facet of his versatile personality. The entire theme of the show is executed by him in that right from the selection of the topic to the composition of the script, everything is done by him. Indeed its a breeze to hear Sunil talk on this show!

Sunil Barve with Dr. Girish Oak at Sahitya Surabhi's Pustak JatraSunil was also actively involved in Pustak Jatra by 'Sahitya Surabhi' that was aired from 21-27 April 2009. Sunil has talked about his favorite Marathi book 'Rarangdhang' by Prabhakar Pendharkar on the same show. To celebrate the Lavani Mahotsav on Radio Surabhi, Sunil along with a colleague presented a radio documentary on Surekha Punekar - the famous Lavani Queen!

It is highly appreciable that Sunil finds time for the script writing amidst his highly hectic schedule. He landed up with this job quite coincidentally. A co-artist with whom he had compered once sent that recording for her audition. Impressed by his compering skills, the Radio Surabhi team offered him the role of a RJ (Radio Jockey) on their channel!

"Radio is the most challenging medium as one cannot see the audience nor ascertain their immediate reactions unlike theatre...you just have to give your best"
once said Sunil on the show!

Their younger son Bal (Bal Karve) and his wife Shalini (Amita Khopkar) have two daughters -Latika and Kalika.

The family is close knit and bound together by values. However, minor differences do occur. One point of discussion in the house is whether they should sell the old house and make way for a tower where they can all be accommodated in separate flats. Living in a joint family the younger generation is always pampered and protected which they feel is a real obstacle in their growth process when facing the harsh realities of the outside world.

Women have always been synonymous with the word ‘homemaker’. Over time things have changes and a woman is now expected to juggle various roles that society thrusts upon her. She is expected to fulfil all these roles, but not without a consequence. The consequence of questioning her intent & integrity every time she steps beyond the boundary of her home.

She sacrifices almost everything, yet she is condemned at every step. Is this fair? We try and answer all questions through Indu, who is forced by her husband to become an earning member of the family. She does. She succeeds in becoming a perfect mix of being a home maker and a provider. Yet, there are consequences. This time it’s her very own husband who is irked by her success and starts questioning her morals & integrity.

Through her courage & determination, Indu lives the plight of every woman who fulfills all the roles that society had decided for her. But, society doesn’t even bother to understand and her the desperate truth before it judges her or questions her.

This show deals with the current relevant middle class quandary, where-in it’s a taboo for the ‘bahu’ to step out of the house and be the bread earner for the family. With no experience on her side, Indu is faced with hurdles at work, family & in-laws. Facts are distorted, faith is questioned, yet Indu is not shaken, she succeeds in her endevaours.

This story is of a working middle class woman who fights to keep together her marriage and her family even though she is faced with opposition from all quarters.

Dehleez goes off air

0
May 29, 2009

NDTV Imagine launched a new daily soap 'Dehleez' on 16 Feb 2009 by Siddhant Cinevision Productions. This serial paved the way for Sunil's comeback in the Hindi television world after a substantial time gap. He was portraying the character of Aakash Shrivastav, the eldest son in the Shrivastav family. The serial was reaching quite an interesting turn when the channel decided to take it off air. Inadequate TRP was the reason cited by the channel for the serials abrupt dismissal. The serial is no longer telecast since May 2009 end.

This definitely is not a good news for Sunil's fans. It was refreshing to watch Sunil in the Hindi media after a long long time. This was a good opportunity for him to reach to a wider audience and get noticed in the national media.

For those who wish to give their feedback to NDTV Imagine, mail your opinions to : response@ndtvimagine.com

Lets hope that Sunil gets more & even better offers in the Hindi media in the near future!

Sunil's Profile as on Radio Surabhi!

The following is the profile of Sunil Barve as displayed on Worldspace.in

PROFILE


Sunil Barve - RJ
Hi guys!

It gives me immense pleasure to tell you that I am about to do something very different from what I usually do. As you might know, I have been doing Marathi theatre for a very long time, to be precise, for nearly twenty years. It started in 1985, when I did my first play in Marathi, Aflatoon, which was a musical play, where I was a lead singer.

Thereafter I did many plays, where my acting skills were honed by stalwarts like Vinay Apte, Dilip Kulkarni, Chandu Parkhi, Kishore Bhatt, Vandana Gupte, Vikram Gokhale, Mohan Joshi, Damu Kenkre, Vijay Kenkre and many others. I had never ever thought that I would take up acting as a full-time profession. In my childhood, I had tabla classes for nearly seven years.

Simultaneously, I attended singing classes and I cleared the Gandharva Mahavidyalayas exams till Madhyama Pratham. However, after the 10th, I nearly lost touch with the artistic side of me, until I started doing theatre.

All these years, I was groomed by my parents, my seniors in the theatre industry and one major factor, RADIO. Unknowingly, I was being influenced by it. The songs that were played on it, the legends who came on air, the radio plays, the news, etc. Radio was such a beautiful, mesmeric medium then. But after a few years, all of us lost touch with radio and we were hooked on to a new phenomenon, television.

However, with the advent of FM stations people are once again getting nostalgic about the radio era. I always used to wonder about the radio jockeys, how difficult it must be for them to talk to somebody they cannot see. After all, I can’t imagine myself talking on the phone to somebody whom I have never seen.

But now World Space has given me this wonderful opportunity to host my own show, To Ha Sunil Barava, on Radio Surabhi. I now hope to come closer to my fans and well-wishers and share my experiences from my theatre and film days. Does it sound like I am retiring from acting? No way! Acting is and will always remain my first love.

I hope I have not said too much. But there is no running away from me now - I am going to be actually talking to you and lure you into listening to me.
