"She pulls his leg, he won't stop teasing her", a cheeky post-wedding night scene between Rishi Kapoor and Meenakshi Sheshadri became the surprise highlight of their 1989 family drama.
While Damini and Gharana showcased their emotional chemistry, Rishi Kapoor and Meenakshi Sheshadri had another sleeper hit tucked away in the year 1989 — Bade Ghar Ki Beti. The film revolved around family values, tradition, and a lot of subtle comedy, especially between a newly married couple.
You must be wondering what's the highlight. A suhaagraat scene where Meenakshi's character Mala lovingly teases Gopal (Rishi Kapoor), only for him to turn the tables and torment his new bride in return — all in good humour.
Bade Ghar Ki Beti: Plot
At the request of a patriarch, Mala, a poor girl, marries a wealthy family. She must, however, contend with violent family members following his passing while working to bring the family back together.
Inside the storyline of Bade Ghar Ki Beti
The film, made for Rs 3 crore, was set around the household of Thakur Deen Dayal, and the film dives into the dynamics of a joint family, where three married sons — Murli, Manohar, and Giridhar — live under one roof. When a new daughter-in-law enters the fold, the balance starts to shift. What follows is an exploration of relationships, responsibilities, and light-hearted chaos.
The star-studded cast of Bade Ghar Ki Beti
Bade Ghar Ki Beti boasted a powerhouse ensemble involving Rishi Kapoor as the mischievous husband, Meenakshi Sheshadri as the spirited bride, along with Shammi Kapoor, Raj Kiran, Gulshan Grover, Satish Shah, Aruna Irani, Shoma Anand, and others added layers to this multi-generational family tale.
Written by Kader Khan, K.B. Pathak, and Mohanji Prasad, the film subtly blended humour, tradition, and emotion — making it an underrated gem in the family drama space.

Preparations for Dasara festivities begin ahead of schedule in Mys
Mysuru: Preparations for this year's Dasara festivities have begun well ahead of schedule, even though the official celebrations are set to commence on Sept 22. Days after the Dasara High Power Committee, chaired by chief minister Siddaramaiah , met in Bengaluru and decided to celebrate the festival on a grand scale, the Mysuru district administration, which has the onerous task of hosting the 11-day festival, formed 19 subcommittees to oversee various aspects of the festival. Usually, these committees are formed some 45 days before the big-ticket event. Senior officials have been appointed as Dasara deputy special officers and working presidents, ensuring a smooth and well-coordinated celebration across all fronts. Senior officials, including police commissioner Seema Latkar (Dasara procession subcommittee), SP N Vishnuvardhana (Yuva Dasara and Yuva Sambrahama subcommittee), ZP CEO Ukesh Kumar (cultural subcommittee), MCC Sheik Tanveer Asif (sanitation subcommittee), ADC P Shivaraju (reception subcommittee), CESC MD Munigopal Raju (illumination subcommittee), archaeology commissioner A Devaraju (fine arts subcommittee), and ASP L Nagesh (wrestling subcommittee), have been appointed as Dasara deputy special officers. They will be assisted by working presidents and member-secretaries. While many of the officials named to the panels have experience as they have served in Mysuru earlier, for some like Ukesh Kumar, Sheik Tanveer Asif, DCP (L&O) Bindu Rani, and DCP (traffic) KS Sundarraj, this will be their first Dasara season. As the monsoon has begun one month in advance, leading to dams in the state reaching their maximum levels, mainly in the Cauvery basin, the govt is keen to celebrate the festival on a grand scale like in 2024 when it extended Rs 40 crore for the festival. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why seniors are rushing to get this Internet box – here's why!

One of the key events marking the beginning of Dasara–Gaja Payana, the ceremonial march of the Dasara elephants from the forest to Mysuru–is scheduled for Aug 4. In anticipation, officials have begun detailed arrangements to ensure a smooth and symbolic start to the celebrations. Speaking to TOI, C Narayanagowda, president of the Hotel Owners' Association, welcomed the early preparations. "Starting preparations well in advance is a commendable move. It eliminates the usual last-minute chaos and ensures better planning and execution. We are hopeful of a high-quality celebration this year, thanks to the proactive approach of the govt," he said.

Here's an excerpt from their review, 'Despite a sensitive and layered subject, R S Prasanna's directorial venture, written by Divy Nidhi Sharma, remains a wholesome, feel-good watch. It strikes a commendable balance between delivering a message and educating viewers about ID, all with a lighthearted touch. At its core is a message of inclusivity—conveying that people with ID are employable, independent, full of life, and deeply empathetic. ' The review also praised how the characters' traits were shown with sensitivity, 'The film sensitively portrays the characteristic traits of the players' conditions without reducing them to labels—Bantu's (Vedant Sharma) stimming through ear-scratching, Guddu's (GopiKrishnan K Verma) aquaphobia, Sharmaji's (Rishi Shahani) speech impairment, and the less-recognised invisible autism in high-functioning Hargovind (Naman Misra). These are presented as facets of their personalities, not just symptoms.'
