Tanwar: I remember seeing the photograph of a group of women hugging each other after Mangalayaan was launched successfully. That image had stayed with me. It was the first time there was so much media coverage for the mission.

With Vidya Balan and Akshay Kumar's Mission Mangal having released last month, comparisons will be inevitable.

Ghosh: The core subject may be common, but the storytelling is from a different point of view. Our narrative is centred around four women. Having said this, I do not want to take away anything from the men in the show because they set an example of what it is to be equals. The female actors in Mission Mangal had emphasised that they needed Kumar to get a strong opening for the film. Luckily, in television, women enjoy a stronger position.

Tanwar: TV is a medium by women, for women and of women. I am glad that there are female producers, writers, directors and of course, the shows are predominantly about women. Since they are the target audience, the remote is in their hands, too. I am sure some male actors think that we get all the importance. Luckily, I didn't have co-stars who felt that way.
