“We shot the major schedule of 51 days in my third trimester”

Jee Karda, an Amazon Original Series, continues to receive praise from both audiences and critics, evident in its impressive 8.4 rating on IMDb and staggering 3.8 million views within the first two weeks after its premiere. Recently, the cast took to social media to express their deep appreciation and admiration for director, Arunima Sharma, who admirably worked tirelessly even while heavily pregnant. They recounted her unwavering dedication and inspiring leadership, highlighting how she not only guided them on set but also effortlessly managed her pregnancy. Arunima exemplifies a director who allows her actors to fully embody their characters while maintaining a strong presence as the show's driving force. As a result of her remarkable efforts, the series has achieved its current acclaim. 

Reminiscing about the shoot days, director-writer Arunima Sharma shared, “We filmed the majority of the show during my third trimester, spanning 51 days. Interestingly, the entire team of Jee Karda was more concerned about my pregnancy and being cautious around me than I was, which had a humorous yet enjoyable aspect to it. I am immensely pleased that we created a show infused with love, and I am sincerely grateful for the overwhelming audience response. The idea for the show originated when we were in our late twenties, envisioning that our lives would be sorted out by the time we turned 30, and I would have already directed my first film. However, reality turned out differently. So, I approached Hussain (Dalal) and Abbas (Dalal) with this concept and pitched them the idea and thus, Jee Karda was conceptualized.” 

Directed by Arunima Sharma and produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films, Jee Karda is co-written by Hussain Dalal, Arunima Sharma and Abbas Dalal. Jee Karda features Tamannah Bhatia, Aashim Gulati, Suhail Nayyar, Anya Singh, Hussain Dalal, Sayan Banerjee, and Samvedna Suwalka in pivotal roles and is currently streaming on the service in more than 240+ countries and territories.
