Gold medalist Babita Phogat to make her acting debut with TV show Badho Bahu
After Geeta Phogat, it's Babita Phogat to make her silver screen debut.
We are all very familiar with the gold medalist sisters Geeta Phogat and Babita Phogat. The two sisters have been in the limelight ever since Dangal released and the world got to see the real story behind Geeta Phogat and Babita Phogat. Geeta Phogat made her entry on the silver screen with Color's Khatron Ke Khiladi and it's now time for the younger sister Babita to make her acting debut.
Babita Phogat will be seen making her acting debut on TV with Badho Bahu. 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 said, "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.
Meanwhile, Badho Bahu actor 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."
