Five Modern-Day Reel Life Saas-Bahu Jodis Who Broke The Conventional Image

What is an Indian Television show without an extraordinary and engaging Saas-Bahu duo? As long as you can remember, it is these duos that have spiced up daily soaps. From Tulsi and Savita to Gopi and Kokila all these jodis have proven to make their respective shows highly popular amongst its audience. So here we are with top five present day Saas-Bahu jodis from watch-worthy shows across Television and OTT.

Anandi Baa and Gunjan (Anadibaa aur Emily): Giving a new twist to the saas-bahu saga, the story of Anandi Baa and her beloved bahu Gunjan starts with a bang on Star plus’s latest show Anadibaa aur Emily. Instead of the lead, the saas-bahu jodi that is catching audience’s attention is that of Anadi baa and Gunjan. This duo is redefining the relationship, as the Saas Anandibaa is shown doing Bahu Pujan of her beloved daughter-in-law Gunjan. It is an unconventional jodi which adds to the quirkiness of the show.

Daadi and Suman (Saas Bahu Achaar Pvt. Ltd): The super talented Amruta Subhash plays Suman – the bahu who makes the achaar. The totally adorable Dadi – who stands by Suman and encourages her in the achaar endeavour- is played by Yamini Das. The duo makes the show eminently watchable. Amruta Subhash carries the show on her delicate shoulders, emoting with her heart. Her easy relationship with her ex-mother-in-law is so wonderful, we barely see the strain in her relationship with her daughter Juhi.

Leela and Anupamaa (Anupamaa): Alpana Buch is brilliantly portraying the character of Leela Shah in Star Plus’ popular drama series Anupamaa. The actress has won several hearts with her stellar performance in the show. Anupama and Leela have a rather conventional relationship but what makes it unique is Leela’s inexplicit respect for her daughter-in-law. This really adds up to the relatability factor of the show as, in real life too mother-in-law are known for being less expressive of their love and respect towards their bahus. The originality of these relationships is what keeps audience hooked to this show.

Neelam and Lakshmi (Bhagya Lakshmi): Neelam plays a grey character as Lakshmi’s mother-in-law in Zee TV’s popular show Bhagya Lakshmi. Their relationship brings out the essence of the show as all of Neelam’s action revolve around protecting her son Rishi. Since Neelam too is equally protective of Rishi the duo swings between positive and negative. The ebb and flow of this relationship adds to the spectacle of this show.

Saroj and Sayuri (Woh Toh Hai Albela): A saas-bahu duo list is incomplete without an epic jodi that defines the drama of Indian daily soaps. Saroj and Sayuri is one of those duos where Saroj plays a typical role of an evil saas in this show as she plans and plots against her daughter-in-law Sayuri. What sets this jodi apart is their love for Rishi, Saroj’s son and Sayuri’s husband. Their relationship is filled with twists and turns that keeps the viewers highly engaged and entertained.
