Hello
Pratibha,
the
Zee
TV's
upcoming
show
about
a
woman
who
loses
her
identity
being
a
mother,
wife
and
a
daughter-in-law
and
how
she
eventually
tries
to
discover
herself.
The
plot
seems
a
lot
like
English
Vinglish?
Read
to
know
if
it
is.
A
woman
who
forgets
her
personal
interests,
goals
and
talents
while
fulfilling
the
responsibilities
of
a
wife,
mother
and
daughter-in-law
and
how
she
eventually
tries
to
discover
herself
after
16
years
of
marriage
is
the
story
of
Zee
TV's
forthcoming
show
Hello
Pratibha,
which
was
launched
here
with
much
fanfare.
The
show
is
all
about
exploring
Pratibha's
journey
of
rediscovering
her
identity
and
gaining
her
lost
confidence.
Does
it
sound
similar
to
Sridevi
starrer
English
Vinglish?
This
soap
opera
is
different,
says
Sachal
Tyagi,
another
member
of
the
show's
cast.
"I
was
asked
many
a
times
before
that
is
this
show
inspired
by
English
Vinglish?
I
say
'not
at
all'.
This
is
the
story
of
every
Indian
household
where
a
woman
is
too
busy
managing
household
stuff
that
she
loses
her
identity
and
this
is
what
we
are
trying
to
bring
out
with
this
show," he
said.
Actress
Binny
Sharma
has
returned
with
her
third
stint
on
the
channel
with
this
show
where
she
is
playing
the
protagonist
named
Pratibha,
a
36-year-old
woman
based
in
Jhansi
and
a
mother
of
two
kids.
Pratibha
was
filled
with
hope,
ambition
and
talent
of
her
own,
and
is
now
married
for
16
years
and
has
devoted
her
entire
life
to
her
husband,
kids
and
in-laws,
thereby
facing
identity
crisis.
The
actress
is
excited
to
project
the
role.
"She
is
a
difficult
character
to
play.
She
is
a
bit
mature
as
compared
to
my
real
age.
I
think
there
is
one
Pratibha
inside
every
girl.
She
is
not
a
fake
character,"
Binny
told.
Namit
Sharma,
programming
head
of
Zee
TV,
too
says
that
it
is
the
story
of
every
middle-aged
Indian
housewife.
"Our
protagonist
represents
every
woman,
who
post
marriage,
prioritises
the
needs
of
her
family
over
her
own.
She
doesn't
do
any
of
this
grudgingly
--
all
she
asks
for
is
to
be
acknowledged
for
the
person
she
is.
But,
in
caring
for
her
loved
ones
round
the
clock,
she
loses
touch
with
her
own
identity.
The
show
is
all
about
soul
searching
of
Pratibha,"
he
said.
The
new
show
will
go
on
air
from
Jan
27.
