Sahara One gives Indian Television the first ever `Firangi Bahu’

As more and more foreign nationals come to India, one is often prompted to as “Can a foreigner feel at home in India?” Sahara One will address this question through its brand new, light hearted family show `Firangi Bahu’ to go on air from November 11 at 7-30 pm. The show will put forth a concept that has never been seen in the history of Indian Television. A foreigner who comes to stay in her `susral’ (in-laws house) in India.

It is a well known fact that foreigners are fascinated by India, its colour festivals, traditions and diverse cultural heritage. This fascination makes them want to try and become a part of Indian culture. At the same time Indians too, are quite curious about the West. They have accepted western influences on Indian food, attire, art and many more things. However when it comes to the sacred institution of marriage, Indians still consider people from the West to be unwelcome representatives of a world that is too different and alien. And it is amidst this background that `Firangi Bahu’ is set.

The show will take viewers through the journey of a British girl, Camili Jonathan, who marries into the conservative Desai family of Rajkot, Gujarat
