When it comes to breaking the stereotypes, our sanskari bahus of television have always come forward. The television bahus and betiyas who are always typecast as demure women have not shied away to flaunt their hot bods in real lives. Be it Rubina Dilaik, Sonarika Bhadoria, Drashti Dhami, Roop Durgapal, Neha Marda, Sriti Jha-who are mostly seen in sarees and suits in shows have shown their bold avatars too.

Kanchi Singh who was seen in ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’, has gone through a massive transformation. She has worked on her body and you will be surprised to see her sizzling pictures on her Instagram handle. While talking to Bombay Times, Kanchi said that she has worked on herself for two years.

She said, “I spent these two years travelling and working on myself. I believe that it’s important not just for actors, but for everyone to be fit and have a good body. I attained what I set out for in three months. Many people asked me what I was doing at the gym despite being so thin. For them, gymming is all about losing weight. What they don’t realise is that being fit is more important than anything else.”

Kanchi has said that she is comfortable in her skin and can wear a bikini on screen. “There is nothing vulgar about it. I feel people need to change their outlook towards TV actresses. Why are we questioned for wearing a bikini, while film actresses aren’t? There are so many TV actresses who look stunning in a bikini. Why can’t a bahu flaunt a bikini bod? If they are comfortable doing so, no one should question their choice. Sadly, every actress gets labelled as a bahu even if she doesn’t tie the knot on a TV show. This is why they are often asked questions about their bold off-screen avatars. I feel that people should change their mindset towards us,” added the actress.
