Mrs. Tendulkar is a comedy series on SAB TV, scheduled to air every Monday to Friday at 9:30 pm IST. The show follows the daily lives of Mr. and Mrs. Suhaas and Vibhavari Tendulkar(respectively) and is set in the Gangaram Godbole Sahkari bank colony. Suhaas is a househusband and remains at home while Vibhavari is the Bank Manager of the Gangaram Godbole Sahkari Bank. Because he does all the chores in the house (traditionally done exclusively by women), the housewives of the colony call Suhaas Mrs. Tendulkar. This show has a good following among the audience.

Concept

The show is based on the colony's culture and focuses on the Tendulkars' assimilation into it. Set in a Maharashtrian backdrop,^[1].But Gujarati culture is also highlighted. It portrays and at times makes fun of gender roles in Indian culture. The Tendulkars' traditional-gender-role reversals are the subject of derision in the colony: since the colony members resist change in their comfortable lives, the arrival of the Tendulkar family upsets them as many of their set notions are challenged.^[2] In this way, the show implicitly embeds social commentary in its humour.
