Star Life's new 18h00 show strikes a nerve with us bigtime and you'll see why now...
It's called Faltu and centres round a daughter who isn't wanted because her parents wanted a son. They deliberately name her Faltu so that everyone knows how much they despise her.
What does Faltu mean?
Useless.
There are no words to describe how cruel and evil that is.
Thankfully Faltu's going to fight it and she uses a cricket bat to do it.
Smash and hit those sixes Faltu!
It premieres on Monday 7 August, replacing
