Anyone ??

Did I not say that a younger brother's wife is called/addressed by name ? But she is still his bhabhi. Wife's sister is saali, but no one calls his wife's older sister as saaliji. They call her by name or Didi (may be) and vice-versa but doesn't change the jija-saali relationship.

Anu only elder bro's wife is Bhabi.Bhabhi means "sister-in-law" in Hindi and other South Asian languages. It is used by one to refer to your elder brother's wife. Sometimes it is also used affectionately to address your friend's wife.
