Saba Azad as Vidushi
Vidushi isn’t just your run-of-the-mill gynaecologist; she’s a caring, upfront advocate for women’s health. She’s the doctor we all secretly wish we had – not just prescribing medicines but also providing unwavering emotional support. Her commitment to patient-doctor confidentiality is unwavering, exemplified when a 21-year-old, anxious about a delayed period, seeks her counsel. Vidushi assures her with grace and empathy, leaving no room for judgment.
This vibrant series doesn’t stop at demystifying gynaecological concerns; the series boldly confronts the elephant in the room – the dire need for ‘sex education’ in Indian schools.
It all gets noted during Vidushi’s visit to her alma mater, with the intention of educating young minds about menstruation, which takes an unexpected twist. The students are more intrigued by questions of ‘sex’ than the biological facts. Vidushi’s eagerness to enlighten them is abruptly interrupted by a prudish school teacher. Later, the same students clandestinely seek her counsel on ‘masturbation’ and more. It’s a stark revelation that the youth are well aware but also woefully misinformed. Vidushi’s informative discourse comes under fire from concerned parents, highlighting the persisting ignorance surrounding these topics.
Ever wondered what an ideal gynaecologist-patient relationship should be? Well, this show’s got it all figured out. Move over, etiquette lessons; it’s time for –
“Gynaecology 101: How to be awesome to your patients.”
In this crisp and engaging series, there’s the celebrity gynaecologist, Dr. Briganza, who barely has time to say hello to her patients, let alone listen to their questions. It’s a striking contrast to Vidushi’s compassionate approach. Swara’s visit to Dr Briganza’s clinic with Vidushi is an eye-opener, highlighting the importance of genuine doctor-patient relationships.

What intrigues me more is that it is all age-inclusive!
It’s inclusive enough to make your grandma chuckle while also causing your teenage niece to raise an eyebrow. It’s like a family dinner conversation, except no one’s arguing about politics!
