Submitted by Karthik on 20 March, 2004 - 20:33

The Daily Pioneer has a story on two Indian-based sitcoms being made for American TV stations ABC and NBC.

"While Oscar-nominated filmmaker Mira Nair is developing a television series with Carsey-Werner-Mandabach (CWM) for ABC television network about a Punjabi family living in New Jersey, Ajay Sahgal has created a television series called Never Mind Nirvana for NBC. Never Mind Nirvana is a romantic comedy about a man whose traditional Indian family moves in when he gets engaged to a white woman. The series will revolve around the adjustments and tensions in the family as they come to accept the white Caucasian woman as their bahu."
