With names like Deepti Naval, Zarina Wahab and Amrita Rao being part of a star-studded line up, Meri Awaaz Hi Pehchaan Hai has generated quite a buzz from the word go. Add to it the fact that the show is based on sibling rivalry between two sisters looking to make it big in the music industry and the audience interest seems justified. We get behind the scenes to understand how the show evolved through the weeks.
The love-hate equation: Amrita Rao and Aditi Vasudev, who play Kalyani and Ketki exchange a light moment between a shot. While amajor chunk of scenes are otherwise shot in Mumbai, some scenes —including this shot—have been filmed in a village in Wai. The flashback forms a crucial part of the script and story, since it gives us details of the sisters growing up.
Khichdi time in the break: It’s break time for the cast and they’re making the most of it by cooking some delicious khichdi for the crew. Actors Pallavi Joshi, Savita Thatte and Rituraj cooked off together even as the show’s director monitored the culinary experiment. The hard work paid off in the end when the crew relished the khichdi prepared before setting up the next shot.
A picture perfect moment: This was one sequence that had the entire family in one frame. Kalyani has her family in rapt attention as they eagerly wait for her to reveal her thoughts.
Mumbai calling: The family finally make their way to Anganwadi chawl in Mumbai, bidding goodbye to their house in Wai. As the family sits by the compound, the uncertainty on their faces is quite telling about their state of mind. However, the story takes a new turn here as the sisters set out to find their own identities.
Romance is in the air: One of the highlights in Kalyani’s journey is the one-sided romance with Ejaz Khan. The actor, who is paired opposite Amrita in the series is smitten by Kalyani. Hell bent on winning her affections, he chooses to woo her, by hook or by crook.
