What do you think about these Showtees ?

She took to social media and wrote, "As we bid adieu to the very successful predecessor Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, it’s time to welcome Ishima’s niece in Yeh Hai Chahatein. We have seen lots of stories till now, but this one is going to be even more special. When I started Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, I remember going to Gaurav Banerjee from Star Plus and asking him for a non prime time slot because I wanted to do a show on a social issue. I had stopped doing much television and I wanted to make YHM without the trappings of a TRP driven show. A show about a woman who cannot have children, a stepmother who according to Indian terms is considered bad!"     

She added, "Words in India like barren n evil stepmother got used so often and labelled women in d worst poss way. This show got so much love that it went on for six years. And from a nonprime time slot to a prime time slot. Yeh Hai Chahatein deals with another social issue. It’s said often that it’s easier for men with children to get married again, but very tough for a woman with a child to find a suitable groom. Let’s see if ishita’s niece will be able to be an outstanding mother and still live out an unbelievable love story. star plus... From the makers of Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, a story that will tug at your heart!"
