The stars and makers of a new 10-episode web series want to show the world what modern Indian women are all about

These four women could be from anywhere in the world. Put them in Delhi, Bangalore, or even New York... They could fit in and be relatable to every woman. We created characters that were very distinct from each other, who weren't seeking perfection, but celebrated their flaws and were aspirational even," says Rangita Nandy, the astute creator of Amazon India's nod to Sex In The City, Four More Shots Please!, which releases on January 25.
"We wanted women who weren't far away from you. They had to be believable and relatable, and you would want to be like them," she adds. The show tells the story of South Bombay chicas, Damini (single, journalist), Umang (bisexual, fitness trainer), Siddhi (virgin, looking for a groom) and Anjana (single mother, lawyer), all trying to fend and find their way in a male-dominated, what-will-people-think-if-a-woman-is-single-at-30 society. For an Indian show in English, it hits bulls eye, avoiding clichés thanks to witty writing, genuine acting talent, and a fun, fresh soundtrack.
