Main Teri Parchhain Hoon on NDTV Imagine

NDTV Imagine has a tough task on its hands; by launching itself as a new Hindi channel, it has to try and catch up with the currently entrenched channels of Star Plus, Zee and Sony. So, they have to make some good serials that will hopefully attract viewers; it is however difficult to make channels that are too different from the current theme of serials on the air on different channels.
NDTV Imagine went to a reputed name to get a great prime-time channel, and they have come up with a serial called "Main Teri Parchhain Hoon", produced by Rajshri (who also make 'Woh Rahnewali Mahilon Ki'). This channel started on January 21, 2008, and shows up at 10:30 PM weeknights from Monday to Friday. They have tried to make this a different serial, but one is not sure as to how much it will be different.
The theme of the serial is about a young 21 year old girl who takes on a lot of responsibility (feeling guilt for causing a major problem in the family, and her struggles). So, the serial is about Aanchal and her interaction with the Dharmadhikari family. The family has parents (Hariman and Lalita), 2 brothers and their wives. Elder brother Siddharth is happily married to Jaya and has 3 kids, while younger brother Dheeraj is married to Chanchal (Jaya's sister). Jaya is a very well liked lady with a great temperament, while Chanchal is more self-conceited and very insecure. She is very different from her elder sister.
This family interacts with Aanchal when Aanchal and Jaya exchange their tickets on a bus, and Jaya gets killed in the accident with the bus. Aanchal believes that she is responsible for the tragedy and wants to help as much as she can. She takes on a job as the teacher to the 3 kids (Ayush, Sachin and Juhi); at the same time, she also helps Dheeraj out with some designs for a contract that he is looking at getting.
Chanchal sees Aanchal with Dheeraj and gets very suspicious, and ultimately throws her out of her teaching job. However, she is not capable of taking care of the children and mistreats them so that Sachin lands up in hospital in a critical state. Dheeraj is very angry at her, and this is where things are.
Eventually, it is projected that Aanchal will marry the elder brother Siddharth, and be a step-mother to the 3 kids. A 21 year old girl being a step-mother to 3 kids !!
