Dil Bekaraar,  which is the story of the Delhi based Thakur family,  set in the charming and beautiful 80s, will transport viewers into the bygone era of the 80s.

On working in Dil Bekaraar,  based on Anuja Chauhan's best selling novel Those Pricey Thakur Girls,  Padmini Kolhapure said, '“It felt like home on the sets of Dil Bekaraar. There were many memories coming to my mind while on sets. It was a walk down the memory lane.

But most importantly, working with Raj Ji and Poonam Ji brought immense comfort for me.'

The highly-anticipated Hotstar Specials’ Dil Bekaraar follows the love story and the intense ideological clash between Debjani Thakur and Dylan Shekhawat

The series is being directed by Habib Faisal, who also directed the highly acclaimed DO Dooni Chaar,

Padmini Kolhapure is all praise for Habib Faisal.

'Habib Faisal has an eye for detail; he leaves no stone unturned. He needed everything to be perfect and he ensured it was. He has done complete justice to recreating the 80s magic; I was absolutely amazed to be on sets,'she said.

Produced by Sobo Films and directed by Habib Faisal of Do Dooni Chaar fame, Dil Bekaraar will gently transport the viewers to the golden times as they experience the simplicity and find relevance in the Thakur Family.

Dil Bekarar features veteran actors like Raj Babbar, Poonam Dhillon and Padmini Kolhapure and upcoming talented actors like Sahher Bambba, Akshay Oberoi, Medha Shankar, Sukhmani Sadana among many others.

The characters portray a tale of humorous family drama with a backdrop of liberalisation and journalism.

Based on Anuja Chauhan 's best selling novel Those Pricey Thakur Girls , Dil Bekaraar will take viewers through the crazy, sweet and sour life of the Thakur family,  set  in Lutyens Delhi in the 80s.

The trailer of Dil Bekaraar,  unveiled by Disney Hotstar last week,  provides viewers a peek into the crazy life of the Thakur family with Justice Laxmi Narayan Thakur and his wife Mamta spending their days watching anxiously over their five beautiful (but troublesome daughters,  each one of them having their own tantrums and their own style.

The most mature of the Thakur girls is Debjani Thakur (Sahher Bambba) , who works as a news anchor.  The trailer takes viewers through the sweet and sour love story of Debjani,  nicknamed Dabbu, with a journalist,  played by Akshay Oberoi.

Dil Bekaraar features Raj Babbar as Justice Laxmi Narayan Thakur and Poonam Dhillon as his wife Mamta.

The trailer of the series  provides viewers a peek into the charm, beauty and romance of simpler times of the 80s.

Dil Bekaraar is set in the graceful colonial Delhi, struggling to shed the past, excitedly looking forward to a liberalized future.

Brought out by Harper Collins,  Anuja Chauhan's novel Those Pricey Thakur Girls is the story of Justice Laxmi Narayan Thakur and his wife Mamta and then five beautiful but troublesome daughters.

While Anjini is married but an incorrigible flirt; Binodini is very worried about her children's hissa in the family property. The third daughter is Chandrakanta, who eloped with a foreigner on the eve of her wedding; while the fourth daughter is Eshwari, who is just a little too popular at Modern School, Barakhamba Road; and the Judge's favourite. The fifth daughter is the quietly fiery Debjani, champion of all the stray animals on Hailey Road, who reads the English news on DD.
