While we have seen TV content getting progressive with passing time, not just the show’s storyline but even the characters have been witnessing this wave of modernity. Today, our daily soap bahus are no more the sari-clad damsels in distress, shedding tears for no reason, but they are rather strong women who have their individual personalities. One might have a perception that these actresses who would a replica of their on-screen character but let me tell you, so is not the case.
Our television actresses are every bit as modern as our film actresses and be it slaying on the fashion front or the fitness front they are always on top of their game. Being the fashionistas of the small screen, here are some ideal bahus from television who have ditched their pallus outside the show and literally slay on social media.
Hina Khan
Actress Hina Khan who we say playing a traditional Rajasthani girl won over the viewers with the simplicity of her character in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, but with stepping out of that zone, Hina stunned everyone with her fashionista avatar in Kasautii Zindagi Kay 2, Bigg Boss 11 and Naagin 5. Even beyond the shows, Hina is one of the most fashionable actresses from the small screen.
Devoleena Bhattacharjee
Devoleena who played the famous Gopi bahu on Saath Nibhana Saathiya left everyone surprised with her ultra-modern avatar on Bigg Boss 13. And not just the reality show, but even in real life, Devoleena is quite fashionable which is quite contrary to her character on television.
Shraddha Arya
Kundali Bhagya’s Preeta who we have always seen sport a salwar kameez has been the current generation’s adarsh beti/bahu. But this docile girl on-screen is completely opposite off-screen. Not only is she quite fun-loving and vivacious, but even stunning on the fashion front.
Jennifer Winget
Actress Jennifer Winget is the most celebrated fashionista from television and not just off-screen but even on-screen we have seen her in a modern avatar. However, major in her shows we have seen her sport traditional outfits, her perfect portrayal of a Gujarati girl in Saraswatichandra is still etched in our memories.
Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya
Everyone’s favourite on-screen mother Ishima aka Ishita Bhalla of Yeh Hai Mohabbatein is quite stylish in real life. Though Divyanka has not been ultra-modern with her outfits, she has surely worn her stylish personality to the too. Usually, we saw her play a South Indian girl wearing sarees on her show, but in real life, Divyanka never fails to dole out fashion goals.
Karishma Tanna
Major missing . #throwbackthursday ???????? #potd #instagram
Karishma Tanna (@karishmaktanna) on
While Karishma Tanna has been a celebrated style icon from the small screen, we have also seen her modern side occasionally on shows. And like her reel life, the woman also keeps her real life to be a blend of showcasing her modern and traditional side.
Well, these actresses never fail to charm us with their on-screen avatars, off-screen too they never leave a chance to surprise us. And while these stunning ladies are quite opposite their reel self, tell us which avatar of them do you like the most!
