Ridhi Dogra: “Ekta Kapoor Is The One Who Has Given Wings To The Women In True Sense”

Actress Ridhi Dogra says her upcoming web series “A Married Woman” is more than just a story about two women and same-s*x relationships. She feels honoured to be a part of a relevant story like this.

Based on Manju Kapur’s book, “A Married Woman” captures the philosophy behind a love story that rose over time of political unrest in 1992.

It tells the story of Aastha and Peeplika, played by Ridhi and Monica Dogra, respectively. Aastha is a middle-class Delhi girl, a teacher by profession and a painter by passion. She is the perfect daughter, mother and wife whose life decisions are always taken by others; until she meets Peeplika, whose personality is completely the opposite.

“As an artiste, I really didn’t have any inhibitions and when I heard the story I was convinced that the sensitivity and the sensibility that was required for such sensitive story was very much assured by the writing team,” Ridhi said.

“Also, I was sure if anyone has to make such a show it should be coming from Ekta Kapoor because she is truly a boss babe. She is the one who has given wings to the women in true sense and she knows how to empower them just by being one herself. I feel really honoured to be the part of a story which is so relevant and if entertainment is supposed to speak for something then this is the such content,” she added.
