Sociologists wonder why today joint families across India are
giving way to nuclear families. There are many reasons but the primary
difference is in the expectations that mother-in laws and their
daughter-in-laws have from each other. And here is where Sahara One is looking
to score with their brand new show ‘Aakhir Bahu Bhi Toh Beti Hee Hai’ set to
air from Monday, September 30 at 9 p.m.
Sahara One’s ‘Aakhir Bahu Bhi Toh Beti Hee Hai’ is a story where
bahu’s and beti’s are treated in a different manner. This story is set in
Gorakhpur, UP and revolves around a typical conservative family where
mother-in-law “Naulakha Devi”(Prachee Pathak) is a very strict and a very
dominating woman who is ritualistic to the core. She sees her bahus in a very
orthodox light. She believes that the bahu’s of the house should be ruled with
an iron hand and any change will break the entire house.
On the contrary, the main protagonist Sia(Payal Rajput) is a
young, vibrant, bubbly and extrovert. She is a today’s girl representing the
young women, fearless and with self-respect. She is intelligent, confident with
an opinion of her own and stand up for what is right. She firmly believes that
her sasural is not going to be any different from her maayka.
Shri. Sharad Raj, Head Programming, Sahara One Media and
Entertainment Ltd comments, “With changing times, social and family dynamics
also need to change and evolve, and this is what we intend addressing in our
forthcoming show, "Aakhir Bahu Bhi Toh Beti Hee Hai". The evolving
young women of our country have a question in their minds, that if a girl
leaves her family, adopts her husband's family as her own family and delivers
all the duties expected of her, then why can’t her in-laws, more specifically
her mother-in-law treat her as her daughter? Why does she have to be a
"typical" daughter-in- law distanced, restricted and bit removed from
the rest of the family, when she has the right upbringing, right
"sanskaars"? The series ABBTBH attempts to address this question
which women of today are asking...it is an emotional aspiration of every ‘bahu’
today and it is time that this debate should come out in the open”.
Shri. Bharat Srivastava, Producer, Impact Tele Network Pvt. Ltd.
who debuts with his first show on Indian Television says, “Aakhir Bahu Bhi Toh
Beti Hee Hai” is a saga of different shades attached to this most celebrated
tradition of Indian wedding where a girl transforms from innocence to maturity,
from carefree life to a role of responsibility and from a girl to a woman. In
the process, the girl sacrifices a lot but the same is not taken by the society
in the right spirit. Her biggest challenge then becomes to make the new family
fill the gaps of the old one. Her mother-in-law undoubtedly becomes the centre
point, especially in a joint family. Our story revolves around these two
characters as how the interesting unfolding of incidents bonds these two
strangers so strongly that the daughter-in-law is accepted as a daughter and
mother-in-law as a mother”.
‘Aakhir Bahu Bhi Toh Beti Hee Hai’ is a story of a
mother-in-law, Naulakha Devi and her daughter-in-law, Sia and the conflict
between them when two different people with different thinking meet. The show
captures evolving relationships between mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws and
the eternal concept of how bahus and betis are treated differently in our
society. The show adds muscle to its socialistic storyline with versatile
actors like Payal Rajput, Prachee Pathak, Seema Pandey, Aryan Pandit &
Paritosh Sand.
