Bahu Begum – Development & Controversies
The series received a lot of love during its premiere. The cast line up got everyone glued until the polygamy side of the series starts. Fans started throwing at producers for promoting Polygamy.
In an interview Arjit Taneja stated, “We are not promoting polygamy. There is a reason why he marries twice and one has to watch the show to know more about that. Other than that, we have a maulvi (cleric), who comes on sets every day to keep a check on our work. One does have to keep certain things in mind to safeguard religious interest.”
The series has been broadcasted in different countries including Sumalia, Indonesia, Turkey and on GlowTV as” Promised Love” in South Africa.
