Hubahu is a Hindi language Indian television series based on the story of two twin sisters who exchange places for a week.[1] The story is an adaption of the 1985s hit American two-part made-for-tv movie Deceptions, starring known Hollywood actors Stephanie Powers and Barry Bostwick, in which Powers starred as twins who swap places leading to dire consequences.[2]
The series premiered on Sony TV on February 7, 2002, and aired every Thursday at 8:30pm IST.[3] The series starred Sandhya Mridul in the main lead who played the characters of both twin sisters, Aditi and Ananya. [4] It was produced by Husmukh Shah and Parvati Balagopalan, and was shot both in Mumbai and Bangkok.[3] The channel ended the series after it completed a total of 30 episodes due to high cost of production, especially shooting overseas which costed half a million rupees an episode.[5]
Concept
The story portrays the lives of two twin sisters Aditi and Ananya who share very different personalities. Aditi lives in India and her life is rather conservative and on the other hand Ananya is smart, sophisticated and lives in Bangkok. The story revolves around them switching identities and the comedy and tragedy that follows.[6]
