MUMBAI: Many female TV stars do not like to play the role of a mother on screen, but actress Kavita Ghai is happy doing it in new show Kartik Purnima.

'I am very happy that I am essaying the role of a mother. The one thing to note is that I am playing Harsh Nagar's mother in our new show Katrik Purnima. I am truly glad that the show is doing well,' said the actress.

Kartik Purnima is a story of a dusky girl, Purnima, who considers her skin colour to be her mother's blessing.

She is tortured by her stepmother and stepsister, but just like any other fairy tale, prince charming Kartik falls in love with Purnima for who she is. He sees beyond her skin colour.

The show will focus on Purnima and Kartik's journey and their tryst to win over everyone against all family and societal pressures to make their love story come true.
