SaharaOne Television will provide a platform to artistes across the television soaps who will prove their mettle as determined dancers after being successful actors for a long time! Viewers will now be treated to performances by the popular television Saasumaa’s and Bahu’s where they get together to challenge each other on the dance floor and take the rivalry further. This reality show will offer viewers much beyond just the dance between the competing teams of Saas and Bahu’s and will engage upon identifying the best Bahu and the talented Saas of Indian Television. While most of the shows stress upon the chemistry between the Saas and Bahu, SaharaOne’s reality show Saas V/S Bahu will engross viewers in understanding the matrix of actually being a Saas and a bahu. Commenting on her association with the first big venture, Business Head of SaharaOne Television, Ms. Nilanjana Purkayestha said, “The key to any reality show is the concept, the premise that gives the audience a reason to watch. While conceiving of a reality show we were pretty sure that it was not going to be just another of those song – and – dance shows where TV stars get together and shake a leg. The premise of Saas – Bahu conflict has become so deeply rooted in our audience’s psyche that it has become a genre of its own – “ The Saas – Bahu drama”! We thought why not take this premise, this conflict to the next level and settle the debate once and for all. Our show Saas V/S Bahu combines the best of fiction with the best of reality. While the dance floor is the ‘Karamyudh’, each team has at stake not only its reputation but is also fighting for honour of every Saas and Bahu who are rooting for them. As a show we hope to ignite passions in every living room, unite the family in debating the great Saas – Bahu divide and most of all, entertain the young and old with great dancing and drama every weeknight in the weeks to come.” Two teams, each comprising of 15 Saas and 15 Bahu’s will be challenging each other by rolling out power-packed dance performances for five days a week and will be judged by a team of 2 juries consisting of some big names in the entertainment industry. A set resembling the ‘angaan’ of a house will allow these 2 teams of Saas and Bahu’s to call each of their on-screen family member to compete and be their saviour if they lag behind in the scores in a particular week. Saas v/s Bahu will follow a unique voting procedure and to keep the voting system totally fair and aboveboard the elimination will be the result of the judges points combined with those of the Live Studio Audience. This live studio audience in the form of real life Saas and Bahu’s will be playing a crucial role in the show by acting as the fourth jury or the third umpire as they say in cricketing terms and who’s votes combined with the team of 2 juries will finally decide the scores of the respective Saas and Bahu teams. SAAS V/S BAHU will be produced by Swastik Pictures
