Sony TV set to launch conjoined twins drama

In the latest attempt to spruce up its weeknight schedule, Sony Entertainment Television Asia has lined up a new drama about Siamese twins.

‘Amber Dhara’, which has newcomers in the title role, features Mona Ambegaonkar (as the mother) and Shweta Gulati (as a friend of the twins).

But ‘Amber Dhara’ producers Vikas Seth and Siddharth Tiwari of Swastik Pictures deny that ‘Amber Dhara’ is based on the popular play ‘Lali Lila’, which has been staged in various languages on the floorboards.

Says Seth (to Mid-Day), “We are aware that there is a well-known play about conjoined twins.

In fact, I have seen the drama as well but ‘Amber Dhara’ is not based on it.

The serial has a pair of conjoined twins that�۪s it. The serial is based on my concept and story outline.”

The story is based on two sisters who are conjoined twins, each with her own, dreams, ambitions, and aspirations, but as fate would have it, share the same body.

‘Amber Dhara’ launches on Sony Entertainment Television Asia on Monday 24th September. It replaces ‘Ek Ladki Anjani Si’, which comes to an end this week.
