Amar Upadhyay on playing Ganga Prasad in Doree: A simple and down-to-earth character was always on my checklist

"Doree" is a social drama set in Varanasi that explores gender inequality. The story revolves around Doree, a six-year-old girl who challenges the male-dominated handloom industry with the support of her foster father, Ganga Prasad. The show highlights issues like girl child abandonment and the clash between conservative views and progressive values. Actor Amar Upadhyay, who plays Ganga Prasad, was drawn to the show because of its social significance and the opportunity to portray a different character.
