We all age with time, but this universal rule of nature doesn't seem to apply to Indian television bahus who are taking the phrase ageing gracefully to another level. With some popular shows using the time leap strategy to raise the TRPs, here's a look at some of television's favourite bahus who've gone from young to younger as the plot thickened!
Hina Khan aka Akshara: The much-loved TV bahu, Akshara now looks stunning post a 10-year time leap in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlataa Hai. Giving her traditional anarkalis and heavily embroidered saris a miss, Akshara now sports a chic, new look with shoulder-length hair and western formals. Living in South Africa with her kids, she sure looks way younger than before.
Neha Marda aka Urmi: The Doli Armaanon Ki star looks classy post the six-year time leap that sees her sporting simple chiffon saris with straight long hair and minimal accessories. She is also now mother to a grown-up boy. Bet Neha is super excited about this plot twist that makes her look younger.
Devoleena Bhattacharjee aka Gopi bahu: The pallu-clad bahu from Saath Nibhana Saathiya is now seen wearing modern, designer saris with fancy blouses that make her look way younger and definitely more stylish than her character is supposed to be after a 10-year time leap
Ankita Lokhande aka Archana: Pavitra Rishta has seen many leaps in its long run but with every time leap, the protagonist Archana looks more stunning than ever, taking youthfulness to a whole new level.
Sakshi Tanwar aka Priya: Post a five-year time leap, the protagonist Priya of Bade Ache Lagte Haiwho initially sported traditional Indian clothes was seen wearing fashionable Indo-western outfits that made her look much younger
Sanaya Irani aka Paro: When Rangrasiya took a five-year time leap, its lead character played by Sanaya Irani was mysteriously killed and brought back with a new identity of Myrah. From a villager who wore ghagra cholis, Sanaya now sports chic western dresses and looks extremely stylish.
Deepika Singh aka Sandhya: The Diya Aur Baati Hum star who would perpetually wear traditional saris with a pallu over her head is now seen in fashionable saris post the five-year time leap
