Nia Sharma

I am Nia - I have certain traits of my own, and I won't mind telling people that I am a short tempered, immature, silly, normal girl who does mistakes very unlike the sanskari bahu on screen.

Indian Actress

Amrapali Gupta

Teen Bahuraniyaan' got us many awards. Be it Best Jodi, Debut faces or favorite bahu, we bagged many awards. I still watch the show online and keep blushing. I really miss the cast.

Himani Shivpuri

You either get to play a vicious mother-in-law who hates the bahu, or makkhis and naagins. There is no creative satisfaction in TV.

Saba Qamar

There is more to life than saas bahu issues with women being portrayed as petty characters and their own worst enemies.

Pakistani Actress

Hina Khan

I consciously took this decision of changing my image from a bahu. I just wanted to look different and good.

I don't think Indian parents will accept Veena Malik as their bahu. After all, she's a Pakistani national!

Indian Dancer

I played a bahu for six years on-screen. I really wanted to come out of that.

Roop Durgapal

I don't see myself playing the docile, submissive bahu on television!

In South Asia, showing respect when referring to a bahu is important due to familial and cultural values.

'Bahu' specifically means daughter-in-law, not to be confused with 'beti', which means daughter.

Not Interchangeable

Understand that in South Asian contexts, kinship terms like 'bahu' often carry emotional significance.

Kinship Terms
