Bride with benefits
‘Service Wali Bahu’ tells
the story of Payal (Kratika Sengar) who gets
trapped as “Bride with Benefits”. Payal Rai, daughter of Bhuvneshwar Rai works
as a meritorious PWD engineer in the
district of Chaibasa, Jharkhand. Paal is not just
educated, but she has a heart of gold too. She is the pride of her family and
even the society of which she is a part. Payal is a strong, confident,
today’s girl with sharp presence of mind and has always made her parents proud
with her achievements.
Payal’s family, though modern in
their thought and approach are constantly targeted by their community and are
accused of over educating their daughter with the selfish motive to thrive on
her income and purposely delaying her marriage. Payal’s parents tired of these
accusations are desperate to find a good family and groom for their daughter that will appreciate Payal's qualities and won't demand
dowry.

On the other hand,
there is Prasad family headed by the patriarch Jogeshwar Prasad (Atul
Srivastava) and his elder son Ayodhya (Vineett Kumar) who worship the practice
of seeking dowry and are selfish to the core. Dev (Abhishek Rawat) the
good-hearted younger son of Jogeshwar Prasad falls in love with Payal for her
simplicity and goodness after destiny connects him to her via a wrong number on
phone. Payal meanwhile continues to remain oblivious to Dev’s feelings.
Of all the
characters, it is Gulkand (Akshara Singh) who stands out. She is the
eldest bahu of the Prasad family and a firebrand with nerves
of steel. She is not the one to tolerate any nonsense from her husband and
in-laws ‘coz she has brought in tons of dowry in marriage and a huge baggage
full of whims. Her hilarious one-liners, upfront answers and downright honest
nature make her the most interesting character of the lot. She stands like a
mirror to show the ugliness of her greedy in-laws. So don’t miss out on
watching her in action.
Being fed-up with
Gulkand’s ‘I-wanna-be-the-boss-of-the-house’ behaviour, the Prasads are not
keen on asking for dowry directly rather they want a Service Wali Bahu who they
would use like a milch breed and enjoy the perks of her job throughout the
life. Jogeshwar, who is hugely impressed with Payal’s professional credentials,
has been eyeing her for his son Dev. The conspiracy has been hatched and a trap
has been laid to bring Payal into the Prasad family. But will she learn about
Jogeshwar Prasad’s ulterior motive or will she fall prey to the new practice of
seeking dowry?
The series
hints at a progressive society that has willingly accepted the idea of working
women (sometimes earning more than men). Though this society does not favour
dowry openly - for obvious reasons, they’ve found a new means for their
material greed - an earning daughter-in-law. This is the new form of
harassment.
Will Payal be the pride of her husband’s home or just another source of income? Get ready for another captivating and exciting television series to find out more.
Bride with benefits premieres Monday, April 2. So watch out!!!!
