Saas-bahu show with a difference to hit the small screen

    Anew show, titled Aakhir Bahu Bhi Toh Beti Hee Hai, is set to highlight a common social evil — how daughters-in-law are treated differently from daughters. Set in Gorakhpur, UP, the story revolves around a conservative family where the mother-inlaw, Naulakha Devi (Prachee Pathak), is a very strict and domineering woman who is ritualistic to the core.
    She sees her bahus in a very orthodox light and believes that they should be ruled over.
    In contrast, her daughter-inlaw Sia (Payal Rajput) is vibrant and bubbly. She represents the modern young woman, who is fearless and self-respecting. Sia believes that her sasural is not going to be any different from her maayka.
    Sharad Raj, head — programming and content of the channel, says, “With changing times, social and family dynamics also need to evolve and we intend to address this in the show. The young women of our country want to know why they have to be ‘typical’ daughters-in-law; restricted and a bit removed from the rest of the family.” Producer Bharat Srivastava explains, “The show is a saga of different shades attached to marriage. Post marriage, a girl transforms from innocence to maturity, from a carefree life to a role of responsibility and from a girl to a woman.” The show also features Seema Pandey, Aryan Pandit and Paritosh Sand.
    Aakhir Bahu Bhi Toh Beti Hee Hai launches tonight and will air from Monday to Friday at 9 pm on Sahara One.
