With 'Jaanaki' we aim to strengthen the movement of women empowerment," he said.

His company Mukta Arts has finalized an agreement with the CEO of Prasar Bharti to produce the show. "As Doordarshan is the most viewed channel in India, it is an honor to associate with such an iconic brand for our first daily soap," Ghai stated.
