    Submitted by ITV Production on Aug 31, 2007

    MUMBAI: Growing Up Gotti introduces viewers to one of America‘s most intriguing families.

    This series takes an unscripted look inside the real life of Victoria Gotti and her three sons. Victoria is daughter of one of America‘s most famed mobsters - the late John Gotti.

    A poster child for crime mobs, John died of throat cancer in prison in 2002 whilst serving a life sentence. But for those who only know Victoria as the daughter of this late crime boss, a surprise awaits. Victoria is an author, an occasional TV correspondent, and a working mother.

    As a single mother, Victoria Gotti struggles to balance her writing career, while looking for love and raising her three incorrigible sons. Her boys, Carmine, Frank, and John, find numerous ways to give their mother grief while engaging typical teenage activities: pursuing girls, wanting expensive things, and fighting among themselves. Still, they look out for their mother, especially where her dates are concerned.

    Whether they‘re having a Sunday family dinner at home or participating in a New York fashion show or going to a trip to Italy, the Gottis make every episode a worthwhile viewing event.
