Aroona Irani (inset), now a prolific TV producer, returns to the small screen with her latest serial Vaidehi: Ek Aur Agni Pareeksha. The story revolves around spirited 21-year old Vaidehi (Pallavi Kulkarni, left), who comes from a typical middle-class family, without any grand ambitions. Things change when she marries Aryavardhan (Sachin Sharma), scion to a big business empire. The story is about how she falls in love with Aryavardhan and tries to adjust to an environment completely different from the place she was born and brought up in.
The honeymoon is short lived though, and Vaidehi soon finds herself in trouble. Like her earlier serials, Aruna Irani's Vaidehi too deals with how a girl fights back. Vaidehi is a challenge for Sony in more ways than one. Firstly, it is going to replace the once iconic Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin. Secondly, it is to challenge the spot currently dominated by Star Plus' Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki.
As N P Singh, COO of SET India Pvt Ltd, says, "After Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahi, the 10 pm slot on the channel will feature a variety of interesting genres -- drama, real life stories, thriller, detective -- that make for wholesome entertainment. Vaidehi will
find an echo with millions of women across the country who spend their life in subjugation and despair. " " id="div_arti_inline_advt">
