Wife Bina Life for Star Plus

Indian TV viewers have watched childless celebrity couples deal with children on Imagine TV's Pati Patni Aur Woh. Now they will get to see how men behave when they are forced to become homemakers when their wives decide to take time off from their traditional role in a new reality series that is slated to go into production for Star Plus later this month called Wife Bina Life.

The show is being produced by BBC Worldwide Entertainment and is a desi adaptation of a Canadian show 'The Week The Women Went.' The location according to sources is in Pune. Wife Bina Life will have a limited run and will be completed in 16 episodes. Sources indicate that the show will be hosted by Mini Mathur and Cyrus Sahukar.

In the Canadian version, which has had a two season run, all the women in an ordinary Canadian town disappear for a week leaving the men and children to cope on their own. For most of the men, cooking a healthy meal for their kids, doing the dishes and finishing the laundry is something that is extremely foreign. Once their wives head out for a relaxing week-long break, the men find out just how hectic a woman's daily schedule really is.

A source points out that Wife Bina Life will have 10 real couples that is mainly commoners as participants. Celebrities will make special appearances as guests to meet them. And the wives, well they will be all having fun in a resort, while hubby dear finds out what it is to do all the household stuff, including baby-sitting without any help on hand.

All efforts to reach channel officials remained futile, with one of them saying that the show is in the pipeline without giving any details. We called an official from BBC who flatly refused to comment on this saying its not the right time. While Sahukar did not want to speak at all, Mini remained unavailable to comment.
