Nigerian-American actress and TV host, Osas Ighodaro, has landed a lead role in the new Nolly-Bollywood series, Imported Bahu.

The series was officially announced on Monday by executive producer, Hamisha Daryani Ahuja. Ighodaro will star with Bollywood actor and model, Rajniesh Duggall. The story focuses on love, family secrets, and a romance between different cultures.

Ahuja shared the news on Instagram, introducing Imported Bahu as the first vertical micro-drama series from her production company, Forever 7 Entertainment.

“For months, we’ve been keeping a secret. Today, we’re finally sharing it. Introducing Imported Bahu, Forever 7 Entertainment’s first vertical micro-drama series. A story of love, family, secrets, and one Imported Bahu who turns everything upside down,” she posted.
