Mumbai: After a eight-year sabbatical, Bollywood actress Hema Malini is making a comeback on the
small screen as the producer for the show Maati Ki Banno. The daily soap, from the house of Hema Malini Media and Entertainment, follows the journey of an orphan girl from Mauritius married into a family in Bihar. She struggles with her new life that seems to be under threat from dark secrets that haunt her husband's family.

Maati Ki Banno portrays a battle where love is pitted against politics and courage against deceit through a woman's extraordinary journey through life that takes her from Mauritius to Chhapra in Bihar. "The story touched my heart the first time I heard it and it also brought back memories of Chappra where I held my first political rally," said Malini, who is a Rajya Sabha
member from BJP. The 62-year-old star has earlier directed and produced TV shows like 'Noopur' and 'Mohini'.

Maati Ki Banno, starring newcomers Via Roy Choudhury and Manoj Chandila in the lead, will be aired from December 27 onwards on Colors. "We are delighted to announce the launch of Maati Ki Banno in association with Hemaji. It is an important milestone for us as we are launching the show in an early evening time slot, and are confident the show will strike a chord with the viewers," said Ashvini Yardi, Head Programming, Colors.
