Bulbul is here to interrupt all the stereotypes about small-town girls!
MX Original Series ‘Runaway Lugaai’ is finally here and that we couldn’t be more excited. Strap on your seat belts as this dramedy takes you on a hilarious ride along side Rajni (Naveen Kasturia) who is on a search to seek out his ‘Lugaai’, Bulbul (Ruhi Singh) as she inexplicably vanishes without a trace after their wedding. What follows is an adventure that's heart-warming and humorous in equal parts.
When we believe a small-town girl in India, the image that involves our mind is of a simple-hearted and demure damsel in distress. We’ve often seen them portrayed onscreen as shy and reserved, hanging on to each word of the lads in their lives - be it her husband or her father, because sundar and susheel is what they’re alleged to be. Bulbul shatters of these expectations within the dramedy that's now streaming on MX Player.
She may be a ‘Bindaas’ girl who isn’t afraid to chase her dreams. She speaks her mind and doesn’t recoil from topics like ‘sex’. She isn’t afraid to ask her future husband Rajni if he has had sex before, something that leaves him flabbergasted. She has big dreams and she or he is willing to try to to whatever it takes to realize them.
Speaking about her character, Ruhi Singh said, “Bulbul may be a character that was very exciting to play, mainly because i think I'm breaking stereotypes when playing Bulbul. She is certainly exaggerated but i think that she signifies free agent and an independent woman who is in her way fighting patriarchy and refuses to offer the reins of her life to anybody, be it her father or her husband. She is one among those characters that you simply can really fall crazy with or grow to hate but she cannot be ignored. I wanted to play this character with authenticity & full honesty, and i have really tried to try to to an equivalent . She's a dreamer and a fighter, fighting for her freedom & fighting against the old ways of society during a very light-hearted way. So it's extremely very similar to a comedy of errors, but with a message.”
Also worth noting, is that the relationship that Bulbul and Rajni share. Often in small towns, the husband dominates the wedding and therefore the wife is predicted to be submissive to him. However, Bulbul and Rajni’s relationship is strictly the other of this. Bulbul shares an excellent comfort level together with her husband and speaks her mind to him. She isn’t afraid to ask him anything that involves her mind. Rajni also falls crazy together with her frankness and bindass attitude. Their bond and camaraderie are some things to seem out for.
