Maa is one of the few serials being aired today that has been consistently getting good TRPs. Launched on January 12, this show on Zee has already won the minds of audiences cutting across age barriers. In fact, so popular is this serial amongst women that Tellychakkar was flooded with mails requesting change of the time slot to a prime time! Chitrapama Banerjee who plays the Maa in Maa talks to Tellychakkar about the show and her future plans.

TV pundits had written his obituary but Amarr Upadhyay, the original Mihir of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, is no mood to rest in peace. “I’m Amarr (immortal) there’s no way that I can perish,” chides the actor. There’s a new found vigour in his voice and the actor is oozing confidence. With a slew of films in his pocket, Amarr has every reason to rejoice. The actor will soon be matching shoulders with the likes of Amitabh Bachchan, John Abraham and Boman Irani. His admirers will get to see him briefly on television too in Zee TV’s upcoming show Maa.
