Reality check

Talking about Aatish Kapadia and J D Majethia one must give them credit for giving the viewers a refreshingly honest look at the saas-bahu saga. Baa Bahoo Aur Baby is a homespun story of a truly middle class Gujarati joint family. In a recent set of episodes the three bahus enter a beauty contest for married women. Rivalry is in their very home in the form of a jealous sister-in-law. The final moment triumph for the Thakker family comes when all three bahus score well — Leena wins the title, Pravina is awarded for her lovely hair and Meenakshi in the talent round. It is in the final round when the contestants are tested for the humanity that the Thakker bahus display their family values and humanitarian view. In a scenario where designer families rule prime time, Baa Bahoo Aur Baby scores a hit with its reality check. A bit of trivia. Sarita Joshi who plays the uniquitious Baa was earlier tipped off as a likely candidate to play Savita Virani.
