In
keeping with the channel's core positioning,
Sony Entertainment Television announced
its next baby in the 9 p.m band. AmberDhara,
the channel's new offering is a heartwarming
story of two conjoined twins, who grow up
as strong distinct personalities. The daily
produced by Sidharth Tewary and Vikas Sethi
will hit the airwaves from September 24.

Elaborating on the storyline of the show,
Executive Vice President & Business
head, SET says, "In the past, we have
had success with some off beat concepts
like Jassi, Kkusum, and now Viruddh. AmberDhara
too falls in the same category. It's not
a typical run of the mill story. Amber and
Dhara are different as chalk and cheese.
Amber is a bubbly, charming and a very ambitious
girl, who aspires to be a singer. Dhara
is soft-spoken, shy and a homely girl. Unlike
her sister, Dhara doesn't dream big but
is content with her little world. Two bodies,
two minds, and two hearts yet conjoined
for life. We think the show will definitely
appeal to audiences who're looking for something
fresh on the small screen."
Noted theatre actress Mona Ambegaonkar,
plays mother to the conjoined twins. Elated
about her new role, she says, "Since
I am a theatre person, I have thoroughly
enjoyed essaying Lata Shukla's role. My
husband abandons me after I give birth to
conjoined daughters. But I take my children
to Panchgani and try to give them a normal
life." Veteran actor Kanwarjit Paintal
plays Lata's father.
Talking about the different look in the
show, Producer Vikas Seth of Swastik Pictures
says, "Sidharth and me had thought
of this concept quite sometime back. Now,
let's hope we manage to break the clutter
from kitchen politics. The look to the show
is totally different as we have travelled
to various places around the countryside
for shooting. We don't have a fixed set
as such."
Amber..also promises some other strong
starcast like Viju Khote, Harshad Chopra,
Shweta Gulati and Nasir.
"I play Anuj Mehra, who has a huge
impact on the lives of these girls especially
Amber. As a talent hunter, I persuade Amber
to come to Mumbai. However, what the sisters
don't realise is that I'm going to exploit
them to the fullest," says Nasir
Shweta Gulati plays a negative lead for
the first time. "I play Sonia Jaiswal,
the only daughter of Mr.Jaiswal, one of
the richest and influential men of Panchgini.
Sonia is a spoilt brat and simply hates
Amber and Dhara. Right from
childhood, these girls have always proved
to be an obstacle in her life" said
Shweta.
Somehow the channel did not reveal the
identity of the conjoined twins.
We hope that AmberDhara can act as
a source of inspiration for other conjoined
twins.
