After wrestler Geeta Phogat, who made her
small-screen debut with the last season of 'Khatron Ke Khiladi', it's her
younger sister Babita Kumari Phogat's turn to enter the medium. The three-time
Commonwealth Champion will make her acting debut with the daily soap 'Badho
Bahu produced by Sunny Side Up (Dipti Kalwani) and Hum Tum Telefilms Teena
Swayyam and Sushant Kumar) in which she will play herself.
On
the show, she will be pitted against the protagonist (Rytasha Rathore) in a
wrestling match. Since the story is set in Haryana, Babita felt at home with
the dialect and accent. She says, "I am excited about appearing on 'Badho
Bahu'. I liked the concept of a father-in-law encouraging his bahu's talent —
it's progressive. Personally, I wouldn't want to give up on wrestling; I
strongly believe that a girl shouldn't feel any less than a man and should
strive to create a mark for herself."
Incidentally,
the makers wanted to feature both Geeta and Babita on the show. However, the
former wasn't available because of prior commitments.
Dipti
Kalwani said,"I am over the moon and I can't wait to see Babita Phogat and
Badho Bahu in the same akhada. It's a dream come true when your inspiration
stands in flesh and blood with your character. She inspired me to write the
show and it's going to be my most proud moment on the show. I will cherish this
moment for my entire life. I thank
Babita Phogat and & tv team for making my dream a reality."
