Writer and Producer of the Show Raghuvir Shekhawat shared, “I’m incredibly proud to present Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain, the first television show from my production house, Natkhat Productions. Shemaroo Umang is the perfect platform for this launch, and it holds a special place in my heart, as it’s the beginning of a new chapter for us. With over two decades in the industry, I’ve always focused on understanding the pulse of the Indian audience. While the Saas-Bahu drama has dominated the landscape, the story of Jethani-Devrani has often been a parallel one. With this show, I aim to shed light on a dynamic that many can relate to. I hope the audience embraces this new story as they have appreciated my past work. Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain is truly my first ‘baby,’ and I can’t wait for everyone to experience it.”

Audiences can tune in starting January 27th, 2025, Monday to Saturday at 9:00 PM, only on Shemaroo Umang.
