Story :
NRI Sindhi boy
falls in love with Punjabi girl who loves making
paranthas for her father's dhaba in Punjab
Produced by UTV, the cast of Shanno Ki Shaadi
includes Kamini Kaushal (Shannos grandmother),
Kulbhushan Kharbanda (as Shanti Lal Halwai),
Shoma Anand (Shannos mother) and Vikas
Bhalla. It is being aired every Sunday at 10.30
p.m.
Shanno Ki Shaadi
She is simple. She is naive. She loves making
paranthas for her father's dhaba. She is happy
being the bride-in-waiting, waiting patiently
for her prince charming to surface. She is least
concerned about what people think of her. That's
Shanno for you, the daughter of Shanti Lal Halwai,
who thinks that his daughter, Shanno, is the
most suitable girl for any man in search of
a wife.
Set against the backdrop of the beautiful landscape
of Punjab - green fields, flowing streams and
scenic landscapes, Shanno Ki Shaadi is a simple
story of a young girl whose extended family
is keen to see her married. Their concern is
that her biological clock is ticking away. At
26, they feel Shanno is over the hill and must
get married immediately.
Shanno's marriage is one of the most important
topics discussed in the neighbourhood. In spite
of having a "matchmaker" aunt in the
family and despite the fact that Shanno herself
meets enough young men who come to the dhaba
to relish her paranthas, she's yet to find a
proper match. Shanno's mother is very concerned
about her daughter's plight.
She thinks Shanno has shut herself from the
idea of marriage, and hence not meeting any
suitable groom. She decides to tell Shanno that
she dreamt that Matarani, the Goddess, told
her that Shanno will soon find a groom. Shanno
laughs it off, but finds herself waiting for
the arrival of her prince charming!
Like all fairytales, Shanno's dream too comes
true. She does meet him. But who is this prince
charming? Is it just a passing dream or is he
here to sweep Shanno off her feet? Will Shanno
give in to the pressures of the family or will
Shanno fall in love?
Shanno Ki Shaadi is a simple story with characters
that are very real and true to life. The 15-episode
serial is funny and heart warming at once. Produced
by UTV, the cast of Shanno Ki Shaadi includes
Kamini Kaushal (Shanno's grandmother), Kulbhushan
Kharbanda (as Shanti Lal Halwai), Shoma Anand
(Shanno's mother), Vikas Bhalla and Divya Dutta
in the role of Shanno.

for!
'Shanno Ki Shaadi sounds like a hilarious serial!
It is along the lines of My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
It's very family-oriented and deals with a Sindhi
and Punjabi family. I am playing, Anil Sadarangani,
an NRI Sindhi. Anil is a very suave character
but his parents are typically Sindhi. They wear
flashy clothes at home while having breakfast
and dark glasses while having dinner
"My character meets her and falls in love
with her. It actually begins with my love for
the paratha she makes at the dhaba," he
narrates.
Vikas doesn't forget to mention that Divya was
generous enough to have made parathas for everyone
on the sets. "She made such lovely parathas,"
he confesses. He is also working on his music
album which will release by the end of the year.
He will feature in three films; Marigold, Choodiyaan
and Pyar Mein twist.
Divya Dutta
STAR Plus is in a overdrive. After KBC 2 and
Baa Bahoo Aur Baby, the channel launched another
new weekly serial Shanno Ki Shaadi starring
Divya Dutta as the simple Shanno. Shannos
mother thinks Shanno has shut herself from the
idea of marriage, and hence is not meeting any
suitable groom. She decides to tell Shanno that
she dreamt Matarani, the Goddess, told her that
Shanno will soon find her groom. Shanno laughs
it off, but finds herself actually waiting for
the arrival of her prince charming. Like most
fairytales, Shannos dream too comes true.
She does meet him. But who is this prince charming?
Is it just a passing dream or is he here to
sweep Shanno off her feet? Will Shanno give
in to the pressures of the family or will Shanno
fall in love?
