Mumbai: India is a land where family traditions are passed down through generations, one of which is the custom of passing down the responsibility of the house keys to the eldest daughter-in-law of the family. But what happens when this age-old tradition is altered, and the responsibility is handed to the youngest daughter-in-law? Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain, a gripping new show from Shemaroo Umang, delves into this intriguing question, offering a fresh take on family dynamics power shifts and exploring unexpected changes in the hierarchy of a grand haveli.

This family drama promises a rollercoaster of emotions, twists, and captivating characters that will keep audiences hooked.

Produced by the celebrated writer and producer Raghuvir Shekhawat under his new banner, Natkhat Productions, the show features an all-star cast, with Diksha Dhami in the lead role of Chaina, a lively, smart, kind-hearted village girl whose life takes a dramatic turn when she enters the world of a grand haveli. Opposite her is Sheel Verma as Jayveer, and Ishita Ganguly as the cunning sister-in-law, Chamkeeli, who challenges the power dynamics within the family. The unfolding mystery of why Chaina has entered the haveli as Chhoti Thakurain sets the stage for an engaging narrative.

Sharing her excitement about the show launch, Diksha Dhami said, " I’m really excited for everyone to finally meet my character, Chaina. She’s smart, a storyteller at heart, and has this incredible ability to make people believe in her stories—always using this talent to help those around her. On the surface, she’s cheerful and full of life, but beneath that, she hides a deep pain, which makes her a beautifully complex character to portray. Balancing her joy and hidden struggles has been a challenging but rewarding experience. I’m so grateful to Raghuvir Sir and Shemaroo Umang for trusting me with this role, and I can’t wait for everyone to meet Chaina and join her journey!"

Ishita Ganguly, who plays the villainous Chamkeeli, revealed, “Chamkeeli is the new vamp everyone will love to hate! She’s cunning, she’s bad, and she’s always up to something. From her looks to her antics, she’s unlike any character I’ve played before. I’m loving every moment of bringing her to life and can’t wait to see how fans react!”

Sheel Verma said, "My character, Jayveer, has an important role to play in the bigger story. Right now, not much has been revealed about him, but as the story unfolds, viewers will witness the inner turmoil he goes through and begin to understand why he is the way he is. At times, you might hate his actions, but eventually, you’ll fall in love with him as a person. While Chaina’s entry into the haveli as Chhoti Thakurain leaves everyone stunned, my entry will unwrap secrets that will bring an interesting turn in the story—you’ll have to watch to find out!”
