So wanted to share about BhabiMa who is working in tamil (original) and telugu version. Here name is Sujitha and her character name in the OG is Dhanalakshmi AKA Dhanam.
While the Tamil show is named as Pandian Stores and the telugu version is named as Vadinamma ( which means Bhabi in Hindi)
Sujitha is a very seasoned actress, started acting as a child actor at the age of 3 both in Malayalam (her mother tongue) and tamil movies (very proficient in the language). After the OG got popular she got called for the telugu version to play the BhabiMa character. She herself has said that her BhabiMa characters in the original and the telugu version are totally different and telugu version tends to be more dramatic and OTT while the OG is more realistic and subtle. She has been the pillar of support for all the cast members in the OG as she has been in the field as a child. There is no pompous attitude, gets along with every co-actor, very down to earth, so when the show stated in October 2018 and the marriage track happened in December of that year, Kathir-Mullai's popularity sky rocketed and you know what she promoted them as much as the others in the show. She wanted their story to be told and ofcourse BhabiMa's character had some importance in their story but after a point, BhabiMa was taken out of the picture and it was all KM's story. Sujitha herself has told that KM has been established and the story has to be told in their POV, not BhabiMa's POV anymore.
Sujitha also doesn't appear atleast in 2 episodes in the OG in a month as she is shooting 15 days for the OG and 15 days for the Telugu version in a month. Sometimes they have shot enough to show her but when they don't have enough shots of her, it is told in the episode that Dhanam has gone to see her mother (yes her mother is alive and she is not a bhagodi k beti and there is no name calling in the OG, MIL never demeaned her DILs) and brother's family.
Sujitha is absolutely fine with it that she is not there all days and in all the scenes and fine with KM or JM getting more SS in some episodes.
She also has a youtube V-log where she records her family's journey to different places or simple pleasures like going to a Temple or shopping. She is saree clad as BhabiMa in the show, ofcourse her blouses are modest, never has she worn backless in the show and starts the day with an IG post of her beautifully clad in a saree with a positive message.
When the Chitra, original Mullai died last year, she was the first person to be there after they got her from the hospital and spoke to the press on behalf of the Pandian Stores team. She was also instrumental in calming the fans down when the replacement Kaaviya was selected as the new Mullai.
The reason the OG show's cast members are still close is because of the respect they have each other and the way they behave with each other.
Stalin (Murthy) and Sujitha (Dhanam) senior most members are really looked upon by other actors and actresses of the show as their own older brother and SIL.
After following Sujitha for several years and the way she carries herself as the BhabiMa, what I am seeing here is a revelation to me. I know each person is different in this world but there is something called core values which are pretty much same for many in this world especially if you want to be known as a good human being.
I will conclude this long essay by saying I prefer Sujitha AKA Dhanam to any other BhabiMa in any other version❤️
P.S: Sujitha is also tall and beautiful with sharp features❤️
