COLORS is set to premiere its latest family drama ‘Suman Indori’ on September 3, 2024, at 6:30 pm. The show delves into the intense power dynamics between two strong-willed women—a devrani (younger brother’s wife) and a jethani (elder brother’s wife)—as they clash for control within their family.
Produced by Pratik Sharma of Studio LSD, ‘Suman Indori’ promises to capture the intricacies of familial relationships with a modern spin on traditional conflicts.
The story revolves around Suman, played by the talented Ashnoor Kaur, and Devika, portrayed by veteran actress Anita Hassanandani, as they lock horns in a heated struggle for household supremacy.
Set against the backdrop of the vibrant city of Indore, ‘Suman Indori’ introduces viewers to Suman, a feisty young woman known as the “queen of street chaat” who rules the local food scene with her delectable dishes and golden heart. Suman’s life takes a sharp turn when she is reluctantly married off to Teerth, a shrewd politician hailing from a powerful family.
While Suman attempts to adjust to her new role as a daughter-in-law, she quickly finds herself embroiled in a fierce power struggle with her jethani, Devika. Devika, the queen bee of the household, is determined to maintain her grip on the family’s affairs and views Suman as a potential threat to her authority.
The show masterfully portrays the ongoing tug-of-war between these two women as they navigate a series of schemes, power plays, and emotional confrontations. Suman’s street-smart nature and resilience make her a formidable opponent, refusing to be a pawn in Devika’s intricate plots.
The heart of ‘Suman Indori’ lies in the simmering conflict between Suman and Devika. From day one, the two women clash over control of the household, with Devika employing every trick in the book to maintain her status as the family matriarch. But Suman, with her street smarts and indomitable spirit, refuses to be intimidated, setting the stage for a dramatic showdown.
The show explores the concept of power within families, where tradition meets modernity, and self-esteem (swabhimaan) collides with pride (abhimaan). The nuanced character portrayals and engaging storyline promise to keep viewers hooked with every twist and turn.
Speaking about her role as Devika, Anita Hassanandani said, “With Suman Indori, I’m stepping into the shoes of Devika, a powerful and calculating jethani who thrives on control. Devika sees her devrani, Suman, as a potential usurper, and the resulting power struggle leads to some intense drama. I’m excited to bring this complex character to life and hope that viewers enjoy this explosive jethani-devrani rivalry.”
Ashnoor Kaur, who plays the titular role of Suman, shared her excitement about returning to television, saying, “I’m thrilled to be a part of Suman Indori. Suman is a strong, independent woman who faces enormous challenges after her marriage to Teerth. She’s resilient and doesn’t back down easily, especially when it comes to protecting her self-respect. It’s a role that resonates with today’s viewers, and I can’t wait for everyone to meet Suman.”
Zain Imam, who essays the role of Teerth, expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating, “Teerth is a character with many layers. He’s a politician with a sharp mind, always strategizing his next move. Marrying Suman was a calculated decision for him, and it’s interesting to see how he manipulates situations to his advantage. It’s a role that’s both challenging and rewarding, and I’m excited for the audience to see how Teerth’s story unfolds.”
‘Suman Indori’ offers a fresh take on family dynamics, with an engaging storyline that reflects both traditional values and contemporary challenges. The intense rivalry between the two female leads, coupled with strong performances and a backdrop of political intrigue, makes this show a must-watch for drama lovers.
