Looteri Dulhan is a television serial in Imagine TV which tells the story of orphan girl Billo.[2][3] Billo was initially played by Krishna Gokani who was later replaced by Supriya Kumari in May 2011.[4] The show premiered on 28 March 2011 and concluded on 11 August 2011.[5][6]

The show is inspired by real happenings of groom duping incidents based on Rajasthan and Haryana.[7]

The series, with a budget of about ₹1.5 crores, from its launch had a low viewership. Due to the less viewership causing losses, it went on a revamp in June 2011 with exit of the entire cast except the leads Supriya Kumari and Mrunal Jain and addition with a new cast of 17 members with cost efficient actors.[8] However this also did not work for them and the series was cancelled in August 2011.[6]
