'Baai Tujhyapayi': Marathi series on girls' education to premiere soon
Zee5 is dropping a new Marathi series, Baai Tujhyapayi, that takes on the issue of girls' education in rural India.
Set in a village where girls are expected to become wives right after puberty, the show explores how these traditions often cut their schooling short.
Adapted from the Tamil web series Ayali, it aims to shed light on why girls' education still matters.
The show aims to start conversations on gender equality
At its heart, Baai Tujhyapayi follows a determined mother fighting to get her daughter an education, even when society expects otherwise.
The series shows the daughter's struggle against old-school rules that push her toward marriage after class 10, and highlights her mom's courage in challenging those barriers.
With Medha Manjrekar and Saurabh Gokhale leading the cast, the show hopes to spark real conversations about gender equality and help more girls chase their dreams.
