معنی
To be influenced or deceived by someone's persuasive words.
زمینه فرهنگی
In rural North India, 'bahkaave mein aana' is often linked to 'evil eye' or 'black magic' stories where people are lured into traps by supernatural beings in disguise. The 'villain' in 70s-90s Bollywood often used 'bahkaava' to turn the hero's brother or mother against him. It's a staple plot device. Parents use this phrase to protect children from 'Western influence' or 'modern habits' that they perceive as a 'bahkaava' from the right path. In Indian markets (bazaars), bargaining is common. If you pay the full price without bargaining, friends might tease you for falling for the shopkeeper's 'bahkaava'.
Use with 'Chikni-chupdi baatein'
Pair this with 'Chikni-chupdi baatein' (greasy/smooth talk) to sound like a native. Example: 'वह उसकी चिकनी-चुपड़ी बातों के बहकावे में आ गया।'
Don't use for physical objects
You don't come into the 'bahkaava' of a stone or a chair. It must be a person, an entity (like a company), or an idea.
