Bhaskar Bharti is an Indian fantasy comedy-drama television series that premiered from 25 May 2009 on Sony Entertainment Television.[1] Produced by Deeya Singh and Tony Singh under DJ's a Creative Unit, it stars Ragini Khanna, Anchal Sabharwal, Aamir Ali, Jai Kalra, Rukhsar Rehman, Vivek Mushran and Eijaz Khan.[2] The story is about a man named Bhaskar Bharti, who is turned into a woman. As a woman, "she" goes by the name Bharti Bhaskar.[3] It went off air on 17 December 2009.[4]
Prior to its launch, it was believed that Bhaskar Bharti was a TV adaptation of the 2005 Hindi film Mr Ya Miss.[5] However, that was not the case, as it is actually a Hindi adaptation of the Argentine comedy show Lalola[6] in which a man turns into a woman as a result of being cursed by one of his love interests.[7]
