Ghost Bana Dost is about a frightened little boy whose life changes when a "cool dude" ghost befriends him. Every child has a Dabboo in him and deep inside also longs for a magical friend like the "full of life" ghost in this show. As a child I always looked for fun, magic, and fantasy and through Ghost Bana Dost with it's marvelous special effects and compelling narrative I think we have succeeded in bringing this to Indian television in a way never been seen before."
