ULLU has become one of the fastest-growing OTT
platforms that showcase exhaustive, multi-genre programming of original
content. Assi Nabbe Poore Sau, Peshawar, and Paper garnered a lot of
appreciation from the audience and now ULLU is all set to launch another story
on the social issue of bride trafficking titled “Paro”. The platform dropped
the trailer today giving the audiences a sneak peek into this much-awaited
series, starring the talented and versatile actor Leena Jumani.
The series revolves around bride trafficking which
has developed due to gender inequality, poverty & unemployment in most of
the North Indian states like Haryana, Delhi, Western UP, and other states where
there is a huge gap in the ratio of boys and girls. The local agents scare
innocent people to suppress their voices and make money out of their
oppression. This has become a business model for them, which is flourishing at
a high rate in these areas. The issue arises where the family structure is big
but earning members in the family are fewer. So they agree on signing a
contract marriage for a few hundred thousand rupees and send their daughters
with these agents. The most disgraceful part of this trafficking is that the
price of a girl is based on her age, looks, and creed. The trailer shows actor
Leena as Paro, getting married to two guys in a span of a week with both men
oblivious to this.
Speaking on the release of the trailer, Vibhu
Agarwal, CEO ULLU shares, “After the launch of ULLU 2.0, we are targeting to
showcase stories that revolve around social issues, real-life incidents,
heinous crimes that will appear to people across age groups. With this show, we
want to convey that bride trafficking is still a prevalent social issue in the
rural parts of the country. Every little scene in the show will portray an
array of emotions which will make your heart sink.”
On playing the lead role of Paro, actor Leena
Jumani shares, “My role is of a beautiful village belle Paro who has become a
victim of bride trafficking and is forced to get married that too twice, which
squeals of agony. When I heard the story, it gave me great pain to know that
even in the 21st century, there are women in our country who are forced into
such heinous social practices. My character is strong yet woven with delicate
emotions which gave me the challenge to play this role. I am grateful to play
various different roles in my acting career. Thanks to Vibhu sir and all the
others who believed in me.
Paro Launches on 18th May 2021 only on ULLU App!
