New Delhi–Popular Marathi actor Mayuri Deshmukh says it has been rewarding to liberate the writer within, in her new teleplay ‘Dear Aajo’, which is a heart-warming, contemporary tale about the bond between an Indian grandparent and his American granddaughter.
The story depicts the unfolding of a unique relationship between a granddaughter who is used to living an unfettered life and her grandfather who she is forced to live with for a short period. Initially, she finds her protective and grumpy grandfather rather suffocating but then reaches a point where she even refuses to get married because she doesn’t want to leave him behind.
