Basera deals with these insecurities and a nagging concern that parents have about how their children will treat them in old age. The show traces the journey of four friends who have dedicated their life nurturing and catering to every need of their children and in turn putting their own desires on hold. For these four friends, whose world starts and ends with their family and children, their lives take a turbulent turn because of their very own children, whose priorities in life lie elsewhere.
Will these families cope up with disdain from their children? Or will they give in to the perils thrown towards them by life in their “second childhood”? Life is unpredictable, and no parent can be absolutely sure about the behavior of their children, especially in today’s materialistic world!
Basera will open the inner eyes of youngsters and parents alike. It is a classic family saga for viewers across all ages more so for teenagers, who have diluted their values, ethics and dharma with time and circumstances.
