Theatre veteran Feroz Abbas Khan on his directorial debut on television, Main Kuch Bhi Kar Sakti Hoon, on Doordarshan
I was not very attracted to the idea of making anything for television. So when I got a call for this serial on Doordarshan, which was fundamentally about social messages, it got me thinking.

But when they do that they never forget that primarily the show is for entertainment. This show could be my last television serial because I don’t see myself directing serials day in and day out. It’s not just a serial, it’s much more than that. Main Kuch Bhi Kar Sakti Hoon is a very important show in terms of gender issues, women empowerment, sex determination, sex selection, early marriage, early and repeated pregnancies and domestic violence in Indian society. The story revolves around the inspiring journey of Sneha Mathur, a doctor working in Mumbai. She represents the young Indian woman of today who thrives on challenges. As the story progresses, Sneha returns to her village and find herself embroiled in a series of family dramas. Sneha’s sense of family responsibility, along with her ability to respond to challenges around her, makes her a role model for many young women who face similar realities. The serial will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and it will make you think.
For me it’s not just a serial, it is a part of an important vision and initiative taken up by Population Foundation of India, which is trying to bring about a change in the mindset of masses about women. We are primarily targeting small towns and that is the reason we chose to broadcast this show on Doordarshan. Television is......................
