Monica Dogra and Ridhi Dogra in The Married Woman (2021) | ALTBalaji/Zee5
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
