After wrestler Geeta Phogat, who made her small-screen debut with the last season of 'Khatron Ke Khiladi', it's her younger sister Babita Kumari Phogat's turn to enter the medium. The three-time Commonwealth Champion will make her acting debut with the daily soap 'Badho Bahu produced by Sunny Side Up (Dipti Kalwani) and Hum Tum Telefilms Teena Swayyam and Sushant Kumar) in which she will play herself.
On the show, she will be pitted against the protagonist (Rytasha Rathore) in a wrestling match. Since the story is set in Haryana, Babita felt at home with the dialect and accent. She says, "I am excited about appearing on 'Badho Bahu'. I liked the concept of a father-in-law encouraging his bahu's talent — it's progressive. Personally, I wouldn't want to give up on wrestling; I strongly believe that a girl shouldn't feel any less than a man and should strive to create a mark for herself."
