Payal Rai, daughter of Bhuvneshwar Rai works as a meritorious PWD engineer in the district of Chaibasa, Jharkhand. Paal is not just educated, but she has a heart of gold too. She is the pride of her family and even the society of which she is a part. Payal is a strong, confident, today’s girl with sharp presence of mind and has always made her parents proud with her achievements.

Payal’s family, though modern in their thought and approach are constantly targeted by their community and are accused of over educating their daughter with the selfish motive to thrive on her income and purposely delaying her marriage. Payal’s parents tired of these accusations are desperate to find a good family and groom for their daughter that will appreciate Payal’s qualities and won’t demand dowry.

Payal’s parents tired of these accusations are desperate to find a good family and groom for their daughter that will appreciate Payal’s qualities and won’t demand dowry.

On the other hand, there is Prasad family headed by the patriarch Jogeshwar Prasad (Atul Srivastava) and his elder son Ayodhya (Vineett Kumar) who worship the practice of seeking dowry and are selfish to the core. Dev (Abhishek Rawat) the good-hearted younger son of Jogeshwar Prasad falls in love with Payal for her simplicity and goodness after destiny connects him to her via a wrong number on phone. Payal meanwhile continues to remain oblivious to Dev’s feelings.

Of all the characters, it is Gulkand (Akshara Singh) who stands out. She is the eldest bahu of the Prasad family and a firebrand with nerves of steel. She is not the one to tolerate any nonsense from her husband and in-laws ‘coz she has brought in tons of dowry in marriage and a huge baggage full of whims. Her hilarious one-liners, upfront answers and downright honest nature make her the most interesting character of the lot. She stands like a mirror to show the ugliness of her greedy in-laws. So don’t miss out on watching her in action.

Being fed-up with Gulkand’s ‘I-wanna-be-the-boss-of-the-house’ behaviour, the Prasads are not keen on asking for dowry directly rather they want a Service Wali Bahu who they would use like a milch breed and enjoy the perks of her job throughout the life. Jogeshwar, who is hugely impressed with Payal’s professional credentials, has been eyeing her for his son Dev. The conspiracy has been hatched and a trap has been laid to bring Payal into the Prasad family. But will she learn about Jogeshwar Prasad’s ulterior motive or will she fall prey to the new practice of seeking dowry?

The series hints at a progressive society that has willingly accepted the idea of working women (sometimes earning more than men). Though this society does not favour dowry openly – for obvious reasons, they’ve found a new means for their material greed – an earning daughter-in-law. This is the new form of harassment.

Will Payal be the pride of her husband’s home or just another source of income? Get ready for another captivating and exciting television series to find out more.

Bride with benefits premieres Monday, April 2. So watch out!!!!
