Banegi Apni Baat is a Hindi television drama-series that aired on Zee TV channel in 1994. The series was produced by Tony and Deeya Singh of Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin fame.^[1] It gave many Indian television actors a very good break, such as Irrfan Khan,Roshini Achreja Shefali Chhaya, Firdaus Dadi, Sadia Siddiqui, Anita Kanwal, Divya Seth, Achint Kaur, Rishabh, Varun Badola, Rakhee Tandon, R Madhavan and Ritu Raj.

Interestingly the current South Indian heartthrob R Madhavan also started his career with this series. He was one of the leading male actor in Banegi Apni Baat.

Each character was portrayed excellently. There were lot of shades in every character. The characters were so realistic in nature. Anyone could have associated with that character. Even extra marital affairs and sincere commitment in married life were portrayed side by side.

There were some open issues discussed quite bravely and at that time it was a taboo talking such things openly just as sex, sex education, affairs, illegal children etc.

The events shown were pretty real. The college life was the limelight. Those flirting characters, real romantic ones, college campus, teachers getting teased, - all typical of a college were shown. hence many youngsters, school and college goers became the active auidence watching it.

As the college life gets over and each one gets into their business, the transition was very nicely shown. The background music, sets, realistic lights, good camera work attracted everyone unlike the glamorous and artificial lights of today’s serials. Everyone wore simple contemporary clothes - both men and women. Be it saris, minis, maxis, skirts, chudidars, jeans - women wore everything. Even men wore all kinds of outfits, formal and traditional dresses.

On parallel lines, contemporary business life was shown. How rich people curb the poor ones, how 2 different women - one business and housewife perceived life were clearly shown.
