The lady will be a very happy-go-lucky kind, who would not get into much of detailing when it comes to the day-to-day issues in the house. However, she would have a strong hold on the family values, and when things go wrong, she would insist that her family values her advises. She will be a pure hearted soul, who loves her grandchildren a lot.

Earlier, actress Sejal Shah was supposed to play the role of the Baa. However, now it will be Rupa Divetia who will play the part.

When contacted, Rupa told us, “I kept away from television for few years. I was on a tour to the USA recently. I was looking for a good offer. And this one actually fits the bill. It is true that I will be seen in Sony Pal’s show Piya Basanti Re. I am looking forward to the channel’s launch.”
