| MUMBAI:
With lord Krishna’s blessings, the entire team of Choti Bahu is reeling in
the super success of the show which redefined the prime time slot. The cast and
crew celebrated the successful completion of 200 episodes by conducting a Puja/Hawan
at The Iskcon Temple, Mumbai, as a mark of gratitude to the almighty.
Choti Bahu
is a show that redefined the 7:30 pm slot creating an early prime-time band on
the channel. The show led the channel to No.1 position across GEC in that time
band. The success of the show proves the appreciation of the viewers and establishes
the fact that Zee TV has yet again broken a popular myth on how television is
consumed. Instead of throwing a gala party, the unit decided to express their
gratitude to the almighty by conducting a puja and offering their prayers to God
for making the show so hugely successful.
Choti
Bahu focuses on the life of Radhika, the adopted daughter of a temple priest,
whose life revolves around her friendship, love and affection for Lord Krishna.
She will do anything for the family that has adopted her, in particular her sister
Vishakha, the biological daughter of the priest. But once, just once, she lets
her good nature get the better of her as she covers up for her sister and that
changes her entire life. Coming as it does from one of the most creative production
houses in the country, DJ’s Creative Unit; the show asks some really crucial
questions about the institution of marriage, friendship and even spirituality
in the modern, shining, racing ahead India. Said
the lead protagonist Rubina Dilaik (Radhika), “I feel so lucky and blessed
to begin my acting career with a character like Radhika. I am a big devotee of
Lord Krishna and take this opportunity today to thank him with my heart and soul
for making Choti Bahu a household name.” The characters of Dev and Radhika
have become synonymous to love, dedication, duty and sacrifice. They epitomize
one’s allegiance and affection to their loved ones whatever may be the situation. |
