If you are reading this and wondering what happens when five women are sharing a make-up room, you are not the only one. There’s always been curiosity about what exactly goes on behind the scenes. So, here’s a brand-new show based on this very concept, in Hinglish, which will be featured on Youtube.
Promising a plethora of emotions with humourous undertones, mother-daughter duo Anita and Pooja Kanwal bring, The Make- Up Room, a web series that will stream on Youtube across five webisodes from 11 July. Veteran actor Anita Kanwal is known for her acting talent in shows such as Radhaa Ki Betiyaan Kuch Kar Dikhayengi, Sasural Genda Phool and Gustakh Dil.
The show will also mark veteran actor Anita and daughter Pooja’s production debut. Speaking of the show’s USP, ie moving into the digital space, Anita articulates,
And so has Anita, “The story of The Make-Up Room has been on my mind for years now. It is more or less the accumulation of all our real life incidents, of experiencing the make-up room for so many years,” she adds. The two will produce the web-series under their own production house, PK Productions and this will be their debut venture.
The cast consists of none other than Anita herself, who will play the role of Sangeetaji, a senior actor who looks khadoos (strict) but is very sweet and perpetually searching for an eligible “buddha” (a senior bachelor). Supriya Pilgaonkar, known for her amazing comic timing, will play the role of Priyanka, an innocent, sweet and famous actor who does not know how much this gang is going to pollute her mind. Sooraj Thapar, a household name for TV viewers since many decades will play the role of Priyanka’s husband who is seen video-chatting with his wife mostly to get a glimpse of the young girls in the make-up room. With Delnaaz Irani, Jiten Lalwani, Shyam Mashalkar, Sonali Sachdeva, Pooja Kanwal, Anant Vijay Joshi and new comer Shweta Vyas - it looks like a Sasural Genda Phool reunion!
An excited Delnaz Irani shares, “I play Ananya, who is a channel creative and don’t ask me anything more because I am not going to reveal much otherwise I will be in a soup. But she will obviously give you enough laughs on the show.”
The web-series will essentially establish all the quirky characters who are very apprehensive of sharing a make up room in the first episode. Then we will see a Sania’s heartbreak in the second episode where Sangeetaji is in tears because her dog is critical. The third episode deals with the possibilities of romance thrown by social media in today’s world. Moving further the creative from the channel comes and totally changes the characters and story line of the show in the fourth episode. And fifth and final episode will see the makeup room turning into a rehearsal ground for the atrocious changed story line of the show.
Certainly seems like an interesting plot, one we can watch out for!
