Once upon a time, there was one Savita Bhabhi. A cheeky, sari-clad adult comic book aunty who arrived in India in the late 2000s, scandalised the internet and pulled over a million fans. She earned the dubious distinction of being the country’s first porn star, without ever being real.
Today, the bhabhi has a new avatar. She has shed her hand-drawn lines for hyper-real skin, voice and local slang. And now, she doesn’t just pose. She talks. And does as told.
