As
the
saying
goes,
'God
could
not
be
everywhere,
and
therefore
he
made
mothers',
the
world
would
indeed
fall
apart
if
there
were
no
mothers.
Juggling
through
life
while
raising
children
and
acing
professional
responsibilities
demands
an
out-of-the-world
'superpower'
which
is
what
Karisma
Kapoor's
upcoming
show
Mentalhood
talks
about.
Raising
kids
is
an
art.
Some
make
it
into
a
highly
precise
science,
but
most
of
them
are
like
tigresses
protecting
their
cubs.
And,
while
going
through
this
whirlwind
of
parenting
responsibilities,
you
are
bound
to
go
bonkers
once
in
a
while.
Bringing
to
screens
the
crazy
leap
of
Motherhood
to
Mentalhood,
ALTBalaji,
and
ZEE5
launched
the
trailer
of
the
most
awaited
web-series
of
the
year,
Mentalhood-
the
journey
from
motherhood
to
mental
hood!
Filled
with
highs
and
lows,
being
a
parent
can
surely
be
one
thankless
job.
The
trailer
showcases
the
topsy-turvy
ride
of
the
various
kinds
of
mothers
that
exist
and
how
they
manoeuvre
their
way
through
unreasonable
expectations
and
eccentricities
to
raise
their
children.
Giving
a
glimpse
into
the
life
of
these
supermoms,
the
trailer
highlights
everyday
challenges
that
a
mother
goes
through.
Seeing
the
range
of
a
parent's
emotions,
work-life
balance
along
with
their
constant
battle
to
discipline
and
keeping
a
tab
on
their
kid's
behaviour
is
sure
to
leave
a
lasting
impression
in
the
minds
of
the
audience.
Speaking
about
her
digital
debut
and
her
own
ordeals
as
a
mother,
Karisma
Kapoor
shares,
"This
show
is
for
every
mother
out
there
who
is
absolutely
unrelenting
towards
her
parenting
responsibilities.
I
play
the
role
of
Meira,
who
comes
from
a
small-town
&
then
shifts
to
Mumbai
and
stumbles
onto
an
absolutely
crazy
metropolitan
city.
It
is
an
absolute
family
show
that
will
see
Meira
struggle
to
craft
the
perfect
idealistic
family
life
in
the
concrete
jungle,
that
we
know
as
Mumbai.
Being
a
mother
of
two
has
certainly
helped
me
in
understanding
Meira
better
and
I
totally
relate
to
the
madness
that
her
motherhood
demands.
I
am
certain
that
the
mothers
of
today's
generation
will
also
understand
this
'mother
in
distress'
completely."
Portraying
the
character
of
a
single
daddy,
Aakash
Fernandes,
Bollywood
Actor
Dino
Morea
shares,
"Aakash
Fernandes
is
a
stay-at-home
single
father
to
two
kids,
who
tries
to
enjoy
every
day
playing
the
role
of
both
a
mother
and
a
father.
Having
said
that,
being
the
only
single
parent
sees
him
extremely
popular
in
his
locality.
I
am
sure
the
viewers
will
love
my
role,
as
it
is
for
the
first
time
I
am
playing
a
doting
father,
a
character
to
which
every
single
father
will
connect."
A
lovable
mother
herself,
the
show
is
indeed
special
for
Ekta
Kapoor.
Speaking
about
the
upcoming
show,
the
content
czarina
said,
"The
script
of
Mentalhood
was
written
about
three-and-a-half
years
ago.
This
was
getting
finalized
around
the
same
time
when
I
was
planning
to
have
a
baby.
That's
why,
today,
I
feel
like
I've
given
birth
to
two
babies,
one
born
last
year
(my
son)
and
one
born
today
(the
show
Mentalhood).
I
am
extremely
proud
to
have
created
"Mentalhood".
Right
from
day
1
of
shooting,
the
journey
has
been
very
emotional
and
mental.
I
can
say
that
it's
a
show
that
is
very
close
to
my
heart
and
one
that
I
deeply
connect
too.
I
am
certain
that
the
audience
as
well
will
bond
to
the
craziness
that
the
show
has
to
offer."
Excited
to
see
the
mother
maniacs
it
has
for
the
world
to
see
the
series
is
directed
by
Karishma
Kohli,
produced
by
Filmfarm
productions
and
written
by
Ritu
Bhatia
and
Suyash
khabya.
