&TV all set to present its brand-new light-hearted fiction show, 'Aur Bhai Kya ChalRaha Hai? 

&TV is all set to present its brand-new light-hearted fiction show, 'Aur Bhai Kya ChalRaha Hai? The show will give a glimpse of situational comedy that ensues when two culturally opposite families are forced to share a roof, manoeuvre day-to-day concerns of small-town living and highly competitive wives. The show embodies the long-standing Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb through two families – the Mishras and the Mirzas, cohabiting in an old nawabi haveli. Each wishing to own the haveli and not sharing it with the other puts the neighbouring families into constant bickering and witty and amusing scuffles surrounding everyday life issues and incidents, each finding their way to deal with it. 

Celebrating every facet, flavour, character, and story by authentically bringing alive the essence of the Lucknowi culture, &TV has roped in local talents to portray the lead characters in the show. The Mirza couple is one to watch out for. They are steady rivals and the best of friends the Mishra’s can ask for! They may seem quiet and composed, but they too can make a ruckus. Always in an attempt to prove themselves to better than the Mishra’s, Sakina and Zafar Ali Mirza will give everyone a taste of their carefully stirred tea served with chaska! The actors Pawan Singh and Akansha Sharma are signed to act Zafar Ali Mirza and Sakina's role. Pawan has been in the industry for eight years and has encompassed various roles in his career. Last seen in &TV's Gudiya Humari Sabhi Par Bhari as Atta Chacha, and now playing Zafar Ali Mirza's role in Aur Bhai Kya Chal Raha Hai? Pawan shares, "I am excited about this role. I love the character and its portrayal in the show. From the way Mirza is scared of his wife to his unconditional love towards her makes the character very lovable. Sakina kepyaar ka gulaamhai Mirza! Their relationship is a highlight one cannot miss out on! Mirza is a family man who has been running his chai kidukaan – Lucknow Tea House and is known for it. His tea stall is more famous as a charcha spot than for the tea itself. From politics to cricket to household gossips, everything is discussed here with a cup of tea. His only motive is to outshine Mishra by cooking up stories and taking the limelight. I auditioned for the role of Mishra initially, but the makers of the show decided that I was better suited for the role of Mirza. Although I am well-versed with the Lucknowi culture, to fit into the shoes of Mirza, I had to work upon my Urdu diction and command over the language. And the best way to do this is to read poetry and ghazals to get the proper punctuation and expression. I am looking forward to gelling with the whole team and crew of 'Aur Bhai Kya Chal Raha Hai?' and create milestones in the Indian TV industry." Akansha Sharma will be playing the role of Mirza's wife, Sakina. She is a proficient dancer and a Bollywood choreographer and has done quite a few cameo roles in the past but is her debut as a lead actress in a series with 'Aur Bhai Kya Chal Raha Hai?'. On her debut, Akansha shares, "I feel the character was written just for me. Looking at Sakina is like looking at myself in the mirror. The way she acts and behaves around her husband is similar to how I behave. All these factors make it a natural transition and a cakewalk. Even the writers were amazed to see me in real life as they could see the traits of Sakina in me. She is feisty and knows her way around. Sakina's delicacy and precision are spot on, making her a 'meethi churi' indeed! Apni choti ungli pe nacha deti hai Mirza ko, ese tareeke hain Sakina ke paas. She shares a unique bond with Shanti, and they compete in everything, yet their days are incomplete without each other. Playing the character was easy. However, I had to improvise my Urdu pronunciation, so I engaged in random conversations with the localities to get the correct diction and proper accent. I observed the way they communicate and their body language. I visited a few lady's parlours and observed how they wore burkhas and wrapped hijabs. I used to pen down everything in my notebook. I am glad to be a part of this show and cannot wait to see audiences' reaction when the show goes on-air. I am looking forward to an amazing on-screen and off-screen experience."
