Television’s biggest show sees a new wave with

Diya Aur Baati Hum’s Bhabho giving Sandhya permission to pursue IPS

Tune in to Star Plus, every Monday- Friday at 9.00 pm to find out more

Diya Aur Baati Hum, Sandhya

Mumbai, October 29: Two years, over 500 riveting episodes and the struggle continued for the protagonist of Diya Aur Baati Hum, Sandhya. A strong icon and role model for the women of the country, Sandhya has won many hearts through the journey of the popular TV show. Women everywhere relate with her dilemma – of being torn to pursue a career and fighting the opposition of a family, namely her mother-in-law Bhabho that opposed her dream. But this week things are about to change. Star Plus’ No. 1 show, Diya Aur Baati Hum, is going through a game-changing track – Bhabho finally giving Sandhya permission to pursue her dream of becoming an IPS officer!

The show has beautifully encapsulated Sandhya’s journey so far; she got married young to a man, Sooraj, who she didn’t know and to a family that didn’t allow her to study further. Sooraj, who is a simple man, runs a sweet shop, and didn’t know about her dreams of wanting to be an IPS officer. But the journey of the couple has been most humbling – where Sandhya has helped Sooraj realise his dream of being the World’s Top Cook in Singapore and Sooraj’s support has become Sandhya’s strength over time. Together, they have shaken up the usual norm to achieve more and do more with their lives. Despite all odds, Sooraj always stood by Sandhya & it is his faith which has got Bhabho to accept Sandhya’s dream. Theshow is now moving into its next phase with Sandhya’s getting Bhabho’s approval to pursue herIPS dream on a condition that her duties will always be towards her family first.

“From Bhabho’s point of view, she only wanted the best for her son and family therefore was not approving of Sandhya’s’s career so far. However she has realised and agreed to let her daughter in law follow her IPS dream and also manage the house. It isn’t easy for many to alter their ways of thinkingbut with changing timesone must learn to accept and adapt the new. I hope Bhabho’s move inspires many families to support their daughters and daughter in laws.” says actor Neelu Vaghela who plays the character Bhabho.

“Following your dream is never easy like in the case of Sandhya. Obstacles are part of the journey, but you have to be strong to go after what you believe and adapt to changing circumstances. It’s a great moment for us in the show with Sandhya starting a new journey that will hopefully encourage many women like her to step out.,” says Deepika Singh aka Sandhya.

Diya Aur Baati Hum is going to take an exciting turn ahead and breathe a whole new life. Will things be as smooth for Sandhya from now on, or is this just the beginning of her struggle to achieve her dream? Will she find it difficult to fulfil both roles of being a good wife and daughter-in-law while pursuing a career that is demanding?

Find out from October 29^th at 9.00 pm as one of Diya Aur Baati Hum’s biggest episode goes on air on STAR Plus!

“I was shocked when Terence gave me the glass of milk. The worst came when he made me drink it. In my life I have never had plain milk and for the first time because of Rithvik I had to do this.

Someone has truly said dance brings couples closer and aligns them in same beats. Last year Neelu Weghla got her first ‘I Love You’ in 15 years of her marriage from her husband Arvind Kumar on the sets of Nach Baliye-5. This time comedian Raju Shrivastav was in for a surprise that he hadn’t received from his wife in the last 20 years.

Wondering what was this? Raju who has been married for 20 years never heard his wife take his name. The couple that has 2 children, finally broke this first on the sets of Nach Baliye-6 when the judges made Shikha take Raju’s name before everyone.

“For an Indian woman it’s very difficult to take her husband’s name. We are from a background where a pallu is a must on the head. I would have never done this if Rajuji and the judges wouldn’t have insisted so much. I am so happy that we are getting so much of time to spend with each other. This is something I have been longing for”, said an emotional Shikha.
