Star One's primetime show Betiyaan Apni Yaa Paraaya Dhan, which many in the beginning labeled as regressive, has finally managed to catch the attention of the audiences.

The social drama, a story of six daughters and a son born into a Zamindar family of Neelkanth Chanda Rana who considers his daughters more of a burden. It somehow tries to capture the reality of our times that still believes in discrimination of the girl child.

Adds Rekha Modi, the writer of the show, "Initially it was a challenge to make audiences watch this kind of a story. And slowly it's moving in a different direction altogether. The show's popularity is soaring by the day and the track would witness fresh drama in the coming days."

Shilpa Shinde, who plays Mira in the show says, "My character is like Rani Ki Jhansi. I speak up on behalf of my sisters, since we are not the favourites with our family. Manish Rai Singhania, who plays the only son Nirvaan in the show, is the laadla of the family and the centre of attention too. I am a complete rebel and stand up for my rights, which many a times doesn't go well with my parents, especially my dad."

When queried on how the new track is shaping up, Shilpa adds, "There's a lot of drama happening in the family. My dad will get a heart attack and the family house would be put up for auction to meet the exorbitant medical cost. There will be confrontation scenes between me and my dad Neelkanth Chanda Rana, played by Rajiv Verma over the property rights of the haveli."

So will the haveli be sold to safeguard the family head ? Or will the Betiyaan of the house be up to fight for their rights? The intrigue surely needs a watch.
