When two lonely hearts meet in a city ravaged by religious divisions and oppressive middle-class values and expectations, their gender ceases to matter.
The Married Woman, ALT Balaji’s latest miniseries based on Manju Kapur’s novel of the same name, had a timely release this International Women’s Day.
The 10-episode saga directed by Sahir Raza, and starring Ridhi Dogra, Monica Dogra, Suhaas Ahuja and Imaad Shah in leading roles packs the proverbial punch, albeit sensitively.
Leading lady Astha (Ridhi Dogra) lives an ordinary life in an ordinary home in the early 1990s complete with misogynistic husband Hemant (Suhaas Ahuja), cantankerous in-laws, demanding children, broken pressure-cookers and constant reminders to be grateful because ‘all her needs are taken care of’.

In
The Married Woman, one idea of India dies and the possibility of another one takes shape. The web series is set in Delhi in 1992, during the build-up to the destruction of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya by Hindutva mobs. Even as inter-faith tolerance in India faces its greatest ever challenge, two women take tentative steps towards a world in which they may be together without opposition or recrimination.
The AltBalaji/Zee5 series has been directed by Sahir Raza and adapted by Jaya Misra and Surabhi Saral from Manju Kapur’s novel
The show follows Ridhi Dogra's Astha's journey from a quiet housewife to an English Literature professor who realises that she cannot be contained in the house where she lives any longer.
