MUMBAI: Rekha’s fans are in for a sweet surprise this week as India’s iconic Hindi movie channel from Sony Pictures Networks, Sony MAX2 is all set to air classic movie Biwi Ho Toh Aisi. A light-hearted family drama stars Bollywood legends Farooq Sheikh and Rekha in lead roles and marks the debut of Salman Khan in the industry. The movie also features yesteryear actors like Bindu, Kader Khan, Asrani and Onm Shivpuri in vital roles.

Biwi Ho Toh Aisi revolves around soft-spoken, Suraj Bhandari (Farooq Shaikh) who follows his heart and marries the not so rich, yet talented village girl Shalu (Rekha) against his mother’s consent. Shalu welcomes herself in the household, where she has a submissive yet loving husband, caring father-in-law Kailash Bhandari (Kader Khan), dominating mother-in-law Kamla (Bindu) and supportive brother-in-law Vicky (Salman Khan). Like a doting daughter-in-law of the family, Shalu tries to overcome all the obstacles in her married life to win over the acceptance of her domineering mother-in-law.
