“The character that I play in the series is not very different from my real life”, says Juhi Parmar as she makes her OTT debut with the new season of Yeh Meri Family on Amazon miniTV

Mumbai, May 17, 2023: Amazon miniTV - Amazon’s free video streaming service is bringing back the new season of the widely popular family drama Yeh Meri Family. Set in the 90s, the first season garnered immense appreciation for its fresh, nostalgic, and sweet storyline that takes you down to the golden era. Taking the storyline ahead, the new season with a fresh ensemble featuring Juhi Parmar, Rajesh Kumar, Hetal Gada, and Angaad, the series is set to go live on the service starting 19th May 2023.

Making her OTT debut with this season of Yeh Meri Family, Juhi Parmar is ready to entertain her fans with her portrayal of a woman balancing her life as a mother and wife in a middle-class family during the 90s. A schoolteacher, a homemaker, and a mother – Neerja Awasthi, played by Juhi Parmar in this series is a jack of all trades. Like every TV serial from the 90s, Neerja has her own chemistry going on with her mother-in-law which is extremely endearing in its own way. With her own battles at home, Neerja tries very hard to help the kids in her class who are not very fond of her because she doesn’t grade them well to what they believe. She is quintessentially the anchor of the family, who loves her near ones to the bits and plays a sensible, sharp and the perfect homemaker.

On being asked about her character, Juhi said, “Neerja is a very relatable character for many Indian women.  I am glad that my OTT debut is with the new season of Yeh Meri Family which is a slice of life lighthearted show. The premise of the show is extremely endearing and am sure the viewers will relate to it as well. It’s the kind of content I would love to watch myself, a family show with emotions, laughter and entertainment. A lot of nostalgia will kick in as even while shooting it we were all taken back to the golden era of the 90s.  I am sure people will simply fall in love with the Avasthi family. For me Yeh Meri Family is extra special because it’s the kind of content that reaches the heart.  I am excited to see my audience’s reaction who will see me in a completely new avatar.”

The new season of Yeh Meri Family is scheduled to release exclusively on Amazon miniTV, for free within the Amazon shopping app and on Fire TV on May 19th, 2023.
