Five Flash Facts About StarLife’s New Series, My Identity
StarLife’s new telenovela My Identity (Naamkarann) premieres on the channel on October 16, replacing Geet, which ends on Thursday, October 15.
It was originally scheduled to start in May but was delayed due to the COVID-19 shutdowns.
However, the series now premieres immediately after Geet ends, on Friday, 16 October at 20h00, with two new episodes every night.
The lowdown in five:
It’s inspired by the 1998 film Zakhm, which was based on the life of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, who produced and directed the movie.
He directs on the series too.
Ashish has to meet Avni and her mother Asha in secret because his mother Dayawanti is a deeply religious Hindu woman and Avni’s mother is Muslim.
Dayawanti disapproves of the relationship bigtime and regards Avni as illegitimate.
Ashish annoyingly allows this to matter.
Together they grapple the harsh realities of life.
Bonus fact:
The show’s original Hindi title is Naamkarann.
The cast:
Young Avni | Arsheen Naamdaar |
Older Avni | Aditi Rathore |
Ashish | Viraf Patel |
Asha | Barkha Sengupta |
Dayawanti | Reema Lagoo/Ragini Shahas (Reema died of a heart attack while filming the series and Ragini took over the role.) |
Neil | Zain Imam |
