Indian television is evolving. There was a time when viewers wanted to see demure traditional heroines on TV sans Westernisation. However it seems that the trend has changed now and viewers like to see female protagonists having an East-West blend. <em>Ghar Aaja Pardesi </em> (Sai Baba Telefilms) on Sahara One aims at merging the two poles of Westernisation and traditional Indianisation.
