    Mumbai: Following its announcement of the 11-episode prequel to hit TV serial “Anupamaa,” Disney+ Hotstar has set 25 April as release date for the digital series titled “Anupama – Namaste America.” The streaming platform has roped in “Baa Bahoo Aur Baby” fame Sarita Joshi as ‘Moti Baa’ in the upcoming show. 

    Rupali Ganguli who plays the titular character will be seen in a younger look, nine years into her marriage, along with her on-screen husband Vanraj (played by Sudhanshu Pandey) and the rest of the cast. The prequel show will reveal the story of Anupamaa as the timid yet persevering homemaker, and how the seeds of discord and distance were sowed in her marriage. “Joshi will be seen as heading the Shah family as Vanraj’s great grandmother,” said the platform in a statement.

    “I have worked with Rupali Ganguli previously in Baa Bahoo Aur Baby, and I truly admire the way she pulls off all her characters, especially Anupamaa. I am excited to work with her again,” said Sarita Joshi. “The character of Moti Baa has lived through Anupamaa’s tribulations and knows how society holds back women, but she wants to mend it by complimenting and uplifting Anupamaa’s life in a refreshing new way. I feel extremely proud to have got to play her. I hope Anupamaa’s fans enjoy the character of Moti Baa too because I had a gala time playing it.”

    Launched in July 2020, “Anupamaa” has already aired over 500 episodes. A Hindi adaptation of the popular Bengali series “Sreemoyee,” the show is centered on the life of a Gujarati homemaker.
