Alaxmi

Life OK’s new comedy, Alaxmi, is about a girl, who uses amusing antics to set a family downside up

Mumbai, 3rd July: Historically, Dwarka, the holy city of Gujarat has sunk six times. But, The Kapadia family of Dwarka may sink the city one more time, if they don’t stop fighting amongst each other. In a strange way the Kapadias are the misfortune of Dwarka. But what happens if they rope in a misfortune of another village to turn their misfortune into fortune? 

Life OK’s new show, Alaxmi, that premiered on Monday 2nd July at 9PM, is a strangely funny new comedy on Laxmi, a young girl who is deemed to be panvati or bad luck. The entire Kapadia family – Mohandas (Raman Kumar), Natwarlal (Anang Desai), Ram (Sunil Vishrani) , Laxman (Karan Mehta), Bharat (Ujjwal Chopra), with their respective better halves, Neelam (Purvi Vyas), Heera (Priyamvada) and Panna (Disha Savla) and all the kids were present to welcome their Super Bahu – Alaxmi (Helly Shah) into “Kargil,” ie – Shanti Niwas. Also, making a special appearance on earth to welcome her Alaxmi bahu into the house was swargvasi Dadi (Supriya Pathak).

‘Alaxmi’ as rechristened by the villagers is a walking-talking riot, who is hyperactive, very talkative and absolutely ludicrous and whimsical in her way of life. She means well, but somehow always creates havoc wherever she goes, for whoever she talks to.  ‘Khalbhali hai par suna hai, dil ki bhali hai’, is what the villagers say about Alaxmi – but then everybody runs miles away when they see her coming. She rings in bad news, bad luck and somehow her antics disrupt all harmony in the village. 

But these misfortunate antics of Alaxmi are the perfect antidote to the bickering Kapadia family of Shanti Niwas that is fighting over the family fortune.  Mohan Das of the Kapadia family is certain – Alaxmi’s comical and unusual ways of dealing with situations will surely set the Kapadia family straight. He is determined to turn this ‘Kargil war zone’ into a peace-loving home for his six sons and daughter-in-laws – even if it means getting his son married to someone considered Alaxmi or ‘bad luck’.

“There is plenty of quarrelling, bickering and emotional ups and downs in everybody’s lives. We want to make sure the viewer forgets about his own reality and enjoys his TV-viewing time. Alaxmi is the perfect example of learning how to harness negative situations and turn them around positively. That’s how life is OK,” says Ajit Thakur, General Manager, Life OK.

But what will happen when the Kapadia family finally unlock the Pandora’s Box and bring Alaxmi to their house? To find out, watch this brand new comedy of errors, of mayhem and havoc, unravel in this TV series full of laughs, irony and crazy ideas to restore peace. 

Tune in to Alaxmi from 2nd July at 9 PM on Life OK, to watch the story unfold over a few laughs and chuckles
