EORTV, which is India’s first LGBTQ platform, has announced its next series, Yours Lovingly.
The story will focus on the dynamics of the same-sex relationship between two girls. Bushra Shaikh, who is known for her show Decoupled, and Gandii Baat actress Mahima Gupta will star in the show. The actresses will portray the characters Kalyani and Ankur respectively.
The series will be directed by Digvijay Singh.
Gupta said it was quite challenging to understand her character. "Ankur is athletic and has faced confidence issues from the beginning. She is short-tempered and very assertive in her views and opinions. That's one thing I could easily relate to. As an actor, this role has definitely pushed me to the edge and I am thankful to be working with a wonderful and extremely talented cast and crew," she said.
Users can view web-series, music videos, LGBTQ originals and short videos. The app focuses on making content that caters to the community.
Deepak Pandey, founder and creative director of EORTV, said, “A same-sex relationship is always far more challenging; they are dealing with regular couple issues and a layer of societal acceptance. So here it's far more complex than interpersonal dynamics or family issues. Whatever we do, our work will always be towards moulding and shaping public opinion and striving toward inclusion. Yours Lovingly is also a step in the same direction. Whether I direct or we collaborate with someone else our vision will always be aligned to this."
