Maniben.com on Facebook

Maniben community is growing please join the community and be informed

Maniben.com is the story of several Mani's existing in our society. it’s a journey of Maniben from Bhuleshwar to Malabar Hill. Born and brought up in the dusty bylanes of a village in Gujrat, Maniben lived her life with the belief “Insaan ko Surat se nahin Seerat se pehchan”.
Maniben.com is a woman’s journey which seeks to discover whether individuality, culture, values can withstand the pressure of an ever changing competitive world. A journey from Bhuleshwar to Malabar Hill which brings with it new dreams, new ambitions, and retains hope in humanity.
The show revolves around the daily life of a middle class woman who lives in one of the many chawls in Mumbai with her husband and children. Being in the business of diamonds and with his rising riches, her husband manages to bring him and his family out of the chawl to an up-market area of Mumbai- Mahabar Hills. Smriti Irani (who plays the role of his wife) although very happy with the recent turn of events, is now faced with an impending dilemma. Balancing her middle class values and inhibitions she has to also portray herself with her neighbours as an equally snobbish and fashionable woman which is typical of the rich society women who live in the area. The series showcases her transformation from a ‘behenji’ to an ultra modern woman which no doubt is filled with a lot of funny incidents.

Change for better or worse !!!!!!!

We saw in Maniben.com that how the girl’s fiancé wants her to change her identity completely for him before they get married, just to match his lifestyle. .
This one is a real nice story for all the people in this world that we get to know after seeing this episode of Maniben. There are moments in real life that many of us feel where we are disappointed and decide that it’s the end of everything. But here’s Maniben who does not get the certificate in the finishing school, still she is not upset, she is all the more positive and wants to keep people around her cheerful.

She understands the human values of companionship and Love; and that she expresses in the way she treats Jaman even after him treating her rudely.
But well said by Maniben, "Badlav ache ke liye hona chaiye, bure ke liye nahin"

Well that’s how all the Maniben’s should be…. What say?

Divine Intervention!

Such things would rarely happen on a shooting set but it seems like the Gods literally chose Maniben.com to shower blessings in the most unique way.

The incident occurred during the shoots of Maniben.com, Maniben(Smriti Irani) was required to cut vegetables. In between the shot, as Maniben went about saying her dialogues and cutting brinjals, one such brinjal astounded everyone on the set. It actually had a neatly embedded design of "OM" clearly visible inside it!! This created a furor on the sets and everyone wanted to have a peek at this most amazing occurrence. OM is considered as the most holy and auspicious symbol among Hindus and this superbly engraved brinjal just proved that Maniben.com just received some "Divine Intervention".
