SONY SAB TV: Sony SAB’s Wagle ki Duniya to Create Awareness about PCOD in Its Latest Episode

By 121 News

Chandigarh, Sept.26, 2022:-

Sony SAB's Wagle ki Duniya never fails to strike a chord with the audiences with its relatable story of the Wagle family and their daily lives. What makes this show worthy of praise are the frequent messages it delivers by consistently shedding light on topics which are brushed under the carpet. Maintaining its streak of raising awareness, the show is once again addressing a topic that many people are not aware of.

 

Harshad and Jyoti of the Sai Darshan Society are looking for a groom for their daughter Gungun, who does not oppose this idea. This would have been wonderful news if Gungun hadn't been too young to marry. When society members find out, they are shocked and try to persuade Harshad to change his mind, but Harshad won't budge. Sakhi investigates and learns that the real reason for the haste is since Gungun has been diagnosed with PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease), which the family was attempting to hide. After consulting with a doctor and learning about its effects on fertility and the menstrual cycle, Harshad decides to marry her off young. Vandana, who cannot stand by and watch a young girl suffer as a result of a hasty decision, asks Rajesh to speak with Harshad and convince him that an early marriage isn't the solution to her diagnosis, whereas living a healthy life is.

 

Expressing her thoughts on PCOD, Chinamayee Salvi who plays Sakhi stated that many people are unfamiliar with PCOD in fact it has become more common in women as a result of a stressful lifestyle. PCOD causes several issues, including infertility and severe menstrual bleeding, all of which take a toll on women's mental health. However, marrying at a young age under such pressure does not solve the problem. She hopes through our show, we can educate people about this disorder and encourage them to make healthy and thoughtful decisions in their lives. Our goal is to raise awareness among people of all genders so that women who are suffering from this condition can get the help they need.

MX PLAYER: Iram Badar Khan Stuns as 16-year-old Vidya in Her Debut Web Series, Shiksha Mandal

By 121 News

Chandigarh, Sept.26, 2022:-

Iram Badar Khan has defied all expectations with her debut in the recent OTT release, "Shiksha Mandal…India's Biggest Education Scam," on MX Player. While we've seen actors playing roles older than them  be it Aamir Khan in Dangal or Ranbir Kapoor in Shamshera, Iram has taken an unconventional route to make her debut as an actor and has portrayed a character who is a decade younger than her. She is seen playing the role of Vidya Rai, sister of Aditya Rai (Played by Gulshan Devaiah).

 

On her role, Iram Badar Khan said that she always wanted to make her digital debut very real and raw. Playing Vidya allowed her to do just that. The rawness of a teenage girl going through something, its non flashy portrayal and the director's vision of making Vidya just exist and be in the moment really captured her true self. She thinks as a debutant, she'd give most of the credit to the director for helping her perform this emotionally challenging role while still helping her maintain her uniqueness as an actor.

 

Director Syed Ahmad Afzal said that casting for Vidya's role was challenging.He went through many auditions. When he came across Iram's audition, he felt she looked like Gulshan and would look apt as his sister. She has amazed him with her performance and dedication. For this role, Iram transformed herself in 9 days to look like a 16-year-old girl. She worked extremely hard on herself to look like a 16-year-old student. She emember an incident where she once told him that no one will cast her after seeing how plain she looks in the show but trust me, she will be appreciated for her performance.

 

Directed by Syed Ahmad Afzal, Shiksha Mandal is inspired by actual events and highlights the problems of a typical student who falls prey to the unjust practices of the educational system. It also stars Gauahar Khan, Gulshan Devaiah and Pavan Raj Malhotra in pivotal roles. The show is currently streaming on MX Player.
