'Tamanna' - cricket based TV serial about a woman cricketer

Cricket is a game all Indians love and, for a change, a new TV serial is coming that is all about a woman cricketer. It is bound to be a different genre of soap as compared to the routine run-of-the-mill soaps of the saas-bahu type which seems to go on and on.
This has been reported in indianexpress.com dated 22 January 2016.

The story is all about an aspiring women cricketer, who travels through different phases in her life to achieve her goals. It features Anuja Sathe as the protagonist Dharaa Solanki. 'Tamanna' is a finite series and is touted to challenge the mentality that a woman’s dreams come with an expiry date.
There is an assurance from the producer that it will be a show with a difference - usually, one sees a lot of ‘saas-bahu’ talks in other soap opera but, in 'Tamanna' such talks would be much less.
Moreover, it has been shot in various locations across Gujarat and Mumbai and will feature Ketki Dave, Kiran Karmarkar, Harsh Chhaya and Vishal Gandhi in the cast.
Anuja has previously worked in few Marathi shows ans is now making her debut in Hindi TV with 'Tamannna'. It would be an inspiration for women who feel that their dreams end after marriage and motherhood.
