Mumbai, 5th June 2023: Amazon miniTV’s (Amazon’s free streaming service) family drama in a 1990s backdrop,Yeh Meri Family, masterfully takes us to a golden era while reflecting the experiences of every child from the 90s generation. The series has received rave reviews and love from the audience since its release. Starring Juhi Parmar, Hetal Gada, and Anngad Raaj in significant roles, the family-oriented series transports us to the gorgeous city of Lucknow during the winter.
In the series, Rajesh Kumar, a well-known TV actor and comedian, plays the role of Sanjay Awasthi, a typical father from the 1990s. Touching upon the intricacies of the 90s show that audiences can strike a relatable chord with, Rajesh remarked, “There is no reason for the audience to not relate to the show. As I said, it is a very simple storytelling. Agar kisi ko aaj ke yug me ye kahaani pasand hai, toh usko kisi bhi yug me, kisi bhi era me nana-nani, dada-dadi ki kahaani pasand aati hi hai. You will find it very simple and emotional, but you won’t find fear. You won’t find kisi ne gun rakha hai Sir pe aur gangster war hai. Aise era me jo sehaj zindagi abhi bhi hai, but we are ignoring that because we are running so fast. This is like catching hold of the audience and telling them to sit, relax and go easy with their lives. That’s why people will love it and will relate to the show.”
Echoing the thoughts of Rajesh, Hetal Gada candidly shared her experience of living through the character of ‘Ritika Ashwathi’ with elements of relatability to the 90s era. “Ritika is a teenager sailing through her life. She has these wonderful experiences, these curious questions, and a bit of expectation from her friends and family. Because teenage is an age where you experience many things, experience new emotions you are unaware of and don’t know how to deal with. So, everybody would relate to her because I, while playing Ritika’s character, mai bahut zyada relate kar paayi because when all of us are of that age, hum sab ek teenager wale phase mein hote hain. Hum sab is daur se guzartein hain. We all feel that the smallest of smallest problems are the biggest problems. And we consider them to be life’s biggest problems. Bahut bahut pyaara phase hota hai woh,” she said.
Hetal wrapped up by singing a heartfelt song in honour of her character, Ritika Awasthi.“One song I would like to dedicate to Ritika would be ‘panchi banu udti phiroon mast gagan me…’ She is like that,” she enthusiastically concludes.
Created by The Viral Fever, the series is available on Amazon miniTV within the Amazon Shopping App and Fire TV for free.
