Ek Hasina Thi (transl: "There was a beautiful woman") is a Hindi crime thriller television series created by Cinevistaas Limited. It aired from 14 April 2014 to 20 December 2014 on StarPlus.[2] Produced by Prem Krishen, the series starred Sanjeeda Sheikh, Vatsal Sheth, Bhuvnesh Mann and Simone Singh.[3]

The show that revolves around power and revenge. Durga Thakur, leaves her home in the US and returns to Kolkata along with her father, an influential cancer surgeon, Dr. Dayal Thakur. It is shown from the very first episode that the duo have plans against the Goenkas. She takes care of Payal Mitra, daughter of the Goenkas' driver, who had filed a rape case against Shaurya and his friends 2 years ago.

The Goenkas are the most influential business family of Kolkata. Sakshi Goenka is a vicious and cunning woman who would do anything for her son, Shaurya Goenka, a spoilt brat. Rajnath Goenka, Sakshi's husband, has built his empire on the graves of many, always accompanied by his wife's plotting. Shaurya has a special whistle he sounds out every time he does something morally wrong - which is almost all the time. Kangana Goenka is Shaurya's younger sister who naively believes that her family is right.

Suchitra Goenka is the widow of Rajnath's elder brother, Arnab Goenka, who runs a charitable school in her husband's memory. Her son, Dev Goenka is a humble, respectful man, returning from his studies in the US, in the search for his best friend, Nitya Mitra - Payal's elder sister - and the love of his life.

Mid-Day stated, "Ek Hasina Thi had a great start. However, despite a good plotline, impressive star cast (Simone Singh, Ayub Khan and Sanjeeda Shaikh and Vatsal Seth) and many awards, it failed to keep up with the initial pace and lost out on viewers."[26]

Daily News and Analysis rated two and half stars and praised, "The storyline is gripping, fast-paced and slick. It's nice to see a bunch of good looking actors together. The setting in Kolkata, the ambience, the bungalows, the visuals etc speak of high production values. The serial, in short, is easy on the eye." On the other hand, they also said, "All the characters seem to be on edge, which is annoying. Nobody seems to be what they are. More importantly, whether the serial works or not is completely dependent on the actors' performances, especially since it's not a linear story. And so far, they are falling short." Speaking on cast performance they said, Beautiful and sophisticated Simone plays the shrewd and manipulative Sakshi Goenka with elan. Sanjeeda's character is layered, but it's not coming through in her performance. Even Vatsal lacks the edginess both in terms of looks and performance."[20]
