Ladies Special is a daily show that airs on Sony Entertainment Television (India). It premiered on May 25, 2009 along with a host of other new TV shows, as part of a major revamp by Sony TV. The show is about the lives of four ladies who travel by the Ladies Special suburban railway train in Mumbai.
[edit] Plot
The story is set in Mumbai and is a take on the lives and challenges faced by women in big cities and how they sometimes find hope, encouragement and companionship in the most unlikely places. In this case, the protagnists are four women - Shubha Joshi, Nanda Shinde, Bubbly Chaddha and Pooja Singh - who travel to work and back by the Ladies Special train.
The show was taken off air from 14 December 2009 due to declining viewership.
