Tisca to host crime show

Actress Tisca Chopra will be hosting a television show focusing on the real life criminals living under the burden of guilt in the aftermath of their deeds and their resolve for redemption.

 

Produced by Saregama India Ltd, 'Prayaschit, Gunahon Ke Zakhm', is a show based on the real life crime stories recreated and shown through the eyes of the criminals.

 

Prayschit... showcases stories of Seema Parihar, known as the second Bandit Queen, Laxman Gole who was sucked into the vortex of crime after he slashed his neighbor with a razor and went on to form one of the dreaded gangs in the suburban Kurla and that of Samunder Singh who was tricked by his friends to stab a Christian nun among others, who will also reveal their dark deeds.

 

"I am honored and privileged to be part of this show. There is a thin line between doing crime and being a normal person…and you will not know when you will cross the line of crime. Everyone gets a second chance and so these people should also get," Tisca, who had acted in 'Taare Zameen Par' said.

 

"No one is born as a criminal, it is the circumstances that make you a criminal," said Parihar.

 

Explaining the concept behind the show, Sony Entertainment Television, Senior EVP and Business Head, Sneha Rajani, said "audiences will get to see stories of real life criminals who have committed heinous acts and are now seeking redemption. This is an innovative concept".

 

The show will be aired from September 9 on Sony Entertainment at 9 PM every Friday.
