Bhaage Re Mann is an Indian soap opera which aired on Zindagi from 30 November 2015 to 25 July 2016. It was the first original soap of Zindagi.[2] [3] The story revolves around Padmini Awasthi (Karuna Pandey).[4][5][6]
Plot
[edit]It's the story of a woman Padmini Awasthi (Karuna Pandey), who had kept herself from getting tied down to societal norms and stereotypes for 39 years. She has to now rise to the occasion and don a role she has kept away from.
Summary
[edit]Bhaage Re Mann is the coming of age of a 40-year-old woman, Padmini. Padmini, at the age of 19, ran away from her family, marriage and responsibility, being a commitment-phobic woman.
Now, 20 years later, her best friend (also her Bhabhi) calls her for the wedding of her youngest daughter, Anvita. With trepidation, she steps back to her childhood home and town. Only to be faced with the wrath of her elder brother, who still holds a grudge at the way she left. She is supported by her once best friend and now the support of her family, Raghav Vajpayee or RU uncle as her millennial nieces and nephew call him.
In this marriage setup, Padmini meets her two nieces, Jyoti and Anvita(the bride-to-be) and her nephew Ishaan. She sees them for the first time as grown-up people. They are amazed to see her, their aunty, Mini B (as she insists on being called). She is everything they have been told not to be. She is quirky, cool and extremely vocal. With her lateral thinking and one-liners for them, she is a riot. Padmini fits into the house like a glove. But then, as she is preparing to leave, a tragedy strikes. She is the only adult around these three kids left anchorless.
She has to rise to the occasion to become a mother to them. All she has is her quirky attitude and out-of-the-box thinking. Not the ideal stuff that a parent is supposed to possess. She has to rise to the occasion to commit to this rudderless family. Dealing with all this, she comes of age. While she is handling her family, the kids see that there is some chemistry and history between her and Raghav. How they all get together to get the two back together makes the rest of the story.
