Roja kootam, a new serial, has been on air from Monday on Vijay TV. Set in an urban backdrop, the serial centres on the lives of five women. Janani, Radhika, Maanasa, Charulatha and Leena are the best friends who live in the same apartment building. These five well-educated, intelligent, independent and beautiful women have their tryst with destiny.
Charulatha, a divorcee and a mother of a six-year-old, hates men.
A determined and bold individual, she has sought divorce after a bitter experience with her husband. She lives in the apartment with her son Naresh. Later she meets Shiva, whose friendship is all set to change her life forever.
Radhika, a successful professional, balances her career and home with complete ease. Her husband Karthik who works as a clerk in a private firm, earns much less than his wife. Understanding his wife's busy schedule, Karthik contributes largely by taking care of the family and two daughters. They are a loving couple, but problems begin to brew when Radhika's demanding work hours cause untoward incidents.
Maanasa, a leading model, values her independency and self-respect.
This bold girl is happy living her single life; unhinged from marital responsibility. Maanasa is a source of strength for her friends and can handle any crisis and problem with confidence. In the life of this bold beauty enters a man who might change everything that she believes in.
The other two women are Janani and Leena. Janani is forced to become a stereotyped housewife. Her whole world revolves around her husband, father-in-law and family.
A multifaceted personality in college, Janani's talent knew no bounds. A born rock-star and a talented dancer Janani now devotes her time completely to her husband and family. Her talents are yet to be recognised by her husband and inlaws.
Leena and her husband Sanjay are considered to be the ideal couple amongst her friends. Love blossomed between the two in an internet chat and both ended in tying the sacred knot. Always loving and a cute pair, Leena has a hidden past that even her husband Sanjay is not aware of. The role is played by Akila, a TV artiste.
While Neepa plays the role of Radhika, Pooja plays the role of model Maanasa. Directed by Charles, the serial is on air from Monday to Thursday at 7 pm on Vijay TV.
