Mumbai – The new Hindi General Entertainment Channel &TV hosted a curtain raiser of their upcoming show Gangaa. Produced by Sphere Origins, Gangaa is an inspiring story of a child widow who is characterised with an indomitable spirit and will to survive. Determined to live life to its fullest and claiming what she believes is rightfully hers, Ganga’s character personifies the face of New age India – aspirational and resilient.

Gangaa, the protagonist of the show, is a fiery young girl with an amazing zest for life. The story explores how the world perceives this child widow who is strong-minded with an undying spirit. She will be seen questioning age old customs of the society and her struggle for survival makes for an endearing and poignant story. Be it the aristocratic Niranjan Chaturvedi, her rescuer and a father figure to her, or striking an equation with the aged grandmother Kanta dadi, who disapproves of her, Gangaa accepts them in her stride.

Talking about the show, Rajesh Iyer, Business Head, &TV said, “Ganga is an inspiring story of a young girl and her zest to live life to the fullest.
