Seasoned actress Jaya Bhattacharya is set to enter the popular show Badho Bahu which airs on &TV. The well-known actress, who has won viewers’ hearts with a diverse range of roles in successful shows such as Thapki Pyar Ki, Kasamh Se and Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, will enter Badho Bahu for a special cameo appearance. Her entry will lead to a lot of twists and turns in the storyline of the show.
Revealing some more details, producer Dipti Kalwani says, “The character of Sushma Bua needed a strong actor, performer so we chose Jaya Bhattacharya. She will try to pull Lakha (Prince Narula) and Badho (Rytasha Rathore) apart and try to get Lakha married to Titli (Kanika Mann). The drama will add spice to the show.”Recently, there were reports that the channel has decided to axe Badho Bahu. But looks like it has been given an extension, prompting makers to introduce a new character to spice up the narrative.

Big B defends his choice to praise Abhishek openly and others privately
Amitabh Bachchan reveals why he praises Abhishek publicly but not Jaya or Aishwarya
Quick highlights:
Amitabh Bachchan has responded to online comments asking why he often praises son Abhishek Bachchan on social media but not wife Jaya Bachchan, daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai, or daughter Shweta. The actor explained that while he chooses to support Abhishek publicly, he honours the women in his family privately, saying he prefers to respect them “in his heart.”
Bachchan defends Abhishek praise, addresses fan remarks online
The 81-year-old actor, who regularly shares photos and thoughts with fans, recently posted images of himself meeting admirers outside his Mumbai home, Jalsa. Captioned “Yes, I praise Abhishek. So?”, the post sparked comments from users questioning why he doesn’t do the same for Jaya, Aishwarya, or Shweta.
Responding directly, Bachchan wrote, “Yes, I shall praise them in my heart… not publicly… respect for the ladies.” His reply quickly circulated across platforms, with many praising his thoughtful answer. Others pointed to his tendency to engage more often when defending Abhishek, especially around film releases.
Bachchan also shut down a user accusing him of having “paid fans,” bluntly replying, “Prove it! You are small-minded… why don’t you pay and get fans too?” When another person mocked those waiting outside his home as “unemployed,” he replied with characteristic wit: “So give them a job? When they stand at the gate of Jalsa, they are EMPLOYED in love.”
Actor remains active on social media while juggling film projects
Bachchan has become increasingly interactive online in recent years, often directly responding to criticism and fan feedback. Meanwhile, Abhishek was last seen in Housefull 5, a multi-starrer comedy that released earlier this month. Jaya Bachchan appeared in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani in 2023, while Aishwarya Rai was part of Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan films. Despite the online chatter, Amitabh continues to walk his own path, on-screen and online.
