Laapataa Ladies effect! Nitanshi Goel says moms have started seeing her as their ideal bahu

In Kiran Rao’s Laapataa Ladies, Nitanshi Goel brought Phool Kumari to life with quiet grace, capturing the innocence and vulnerability of a rural Indian bride. Her understated performance and simple, earth-toned wardrobe helped root the character in authenticity. But the impact of the film has extended beyond the screen. Nitanshi shares that she’s been getting a lot of wedding proposals from mothers who have been approaching her for their sons.She told us, “Thanks to Laapataa Ladies, moms have started seeing me as their ideal bahu! At an event recently, I was dressed in a sari and these two lovely aunties came to me and said, ‘Aap itni sundar lag rahi hain, hum aapke jaise hi bahu dhoond rahe hain hamare bete ke liye.’”Caught off guard, Nitanshi responded with grace. “I was a little embarrassed, but I told them, ‘You’ll find your ideal bahu very soon.’ But then they added, ‘Aapki aur mere bete ki umar same hai,’” she chuckled, hinting that the proposal wasn’t just hypothetical. “I have got so many proposals from men and their moms. I must say, Phool toh hamari ideal bahu ban gayi hai,” she signed off.
