My favorite serial is waaris. Every year we have number of shows based in Punjab. Ashwini Yardi’s new show, Waaris is also set in the rural hinterland. It talks about two warring clans, the Pawanias and Bajwas. We are introduced to a stressed Amba Pawania ( Aarti Singh) , who is pregnant for the third time. She already has two daughters and is dreading the thought of having a third daughter. Family members and neighbours take continuous jibes at her for not being able to produce a male heir.
Her husband, Charan Pawania ( Iqbal Khan) is okay with having daughters. However, he also believes that a male heir is necessary to retain peace and power. He is a hard-working, peace-loving and religious farmer. We are also introduced to his fiery and flirtatious brother, Jagan played by Akshay Dogra. The two brothers don’t share the same ideologies and the younger one is more power-hungry. On the occasion of Baisakhi, Charan wants to bury the differences between the Pawanias and Bajwas but he does not subscribe to that thought.
