Meet Chhanchhan

Mumbai, Tuesday March 19, 2013: Sony Entertainment Television (SET) has always been the pioneer in bringing forth to its viewers the various facets of a progressive Indian woman. And keeping with its promise of continuously innovating and developing new show concepts, SET is proud to present a new-age woman-oriented fiction show called ‘Chhanchhan’. Starting Monday, March 25, 2013, the show takes a fresh perspective with an aim to capture the minds and hearts of India’s forward-thinking women.

Produced by Optimystix Entertainment, ‘Chhanchhan’ is a story of the beautiful and vivacious girl named Chhanchhan (played by Sanaya Irani) who is by profession a dog trainer. She is a free-spirited independent young woman, modern in her thought but still deeply rooted in her culture. She stands up for what is right and raises her voice against all that is wrong. In complete contrast to her, is the strict disciplinarian Umaben (played by Supriya Pathak) who takes all the decisions in her household and sets the rules for her family. In a classic tale of the clash of cultural conditioning, watch two generations of fiesty women redefine the quest for a day when east meets west and the joys of life are fulfilled. 'Chhanchhan' is a story that will touch many generations of women.

Talking about the show Vivek Bahl, Chief Creative Director, SET said, “Chhanchhan is a refreshing

and unique prime time property placed at the 9:00 p.m. slot. It is a powerful story of self-reliance,

determination and family values told in a simplistic, real and light-hearted manner. The show captures

every emotion of a young very fun loving, simple at heart girl who finds happiness in small things, and

enjoys life as it comes her way. She has been brought up with modern and ethnic values and she loves to

practice them in her day to day life in her own way. We are optimistic that the audience will accept

Chhanchhan into their lives just the way they have embraced all the other Sony Entertainment Television

characters before.”

Vipul Shah, Producer, Optimystix said, “We have had a long and fruitful relationship with Sony

Entertainment Television, working on some landmark shows together. Chhanchhan is a different and an

entertaining concept of a free-spirited girl who is a dog trainer by profession. She is a young feisty

woman of substance, who is modern in her outlook towards life yet deeply connected and rooted to her

core values. She is someone who loves listening to rock music but at the same time will recite the Gayatri

Mantra every morning. She is someone who stands for what she believes is right and will not shy away

from voicing her opinion. She is very much the Indian woman of today and we hope that our viewers will

love every bit of her character and welcome her into their homes.”
