Kya Qusoor Hai Amala Ka character is unconventional and a huge responsibility: Pankhuri Awasthy

The original show was the story of a young woman Fatmagul, who finds love in the most unexpected manner. It dealt with the turbulence that becomes a constant in Fatmagul’s life after she is gang-raped. The Indian version will be set in Dharamshala and remade keeping in mind Indian sensibilities.

“It feels amazing to be a part of this show, Kya Qusoor Hai Amala Kya? I’m really happy to have this opportunity of playing the lead,” Pankhuri said in a statement.

“Amala is an unconventional character and a huge responsibility as the way such shows are perceived in the Indian society. It is very sensitive, hence the makers have kept in mind the Indian sensibilities while creating the show,” she added.
