Pair up

Nach Baliye in 2006 is the only show that the two have since done together — the two continued to work individually on the small screen. “We were happy doing the shows we believed in,” Deodhar explains. But while the actress was pregnant,she and her husband decided that it was time to once again work together. This time,however,the two wanted to have their own production house and make shows they believe in. “We were keen on venturing into production and we found a story that we wanted to tell,” says Anand,who along with Deodhar,set up Thoughtrain Entertainment.

Titled Khamoshiyan ,their first show will go on air within the next one month on Star Plus,the channel that aired Saara Aakash . “The relationship between a mother and her daughter forms the crux of the story. The other relationships take the story forward. It is a story very close to my heart,” says Deodhar,who thought of the idea while she was pregnant. Mohit Sehgal,who essayed the role of Samrat in Miley Jab Hum Tum ,has been signed on as the lead actor. However,the duo refuses to divulge any details of the cast or the story.

While the idea germinated a year ago — Deodhar and Anand now have a daughter — the setting up of a production house has been a time-consuming challenge. “It is a lot of work. We have to look into every little detail and be there at all times to solve everyone’s problems,” confirms Anand. The two were recently in London to shoot the first few episodes of the show. “Our protagonist is from London,so the show begins there and will eventually move to India,” confirms Deodhar.

Will the show see the popular couple back on screen with their home production? Not yet,they say,but the two are unwilling to commit. “Never say never,” says Deodhar with a smile. “Right now,we haven’t shot for it,but if the show demands the two of us to be on board,then why not?”
