==Plot==
== Series overview ==
The show takes place in the fictional "Modern Colony" located in [[Kanpur]], [[Uttar Pradesh]], [[India]] and revolves around two neighbouring couples. The husbands, Vibhuti Narayan Mishra and Manmohan Tiwari are bored with their marriages and are smitten by each other's wives, unbeknownst to each other. Manmohan Tiwari is a successful [[undergarment]] businessman, whose wife Angoori Tiwari is a simple and naive housewife. Their neighbour, Vibhuti Ahuti Narayan Mishra, was once an unsuccessful insurance agent and is now unemployed. Often called "Nalla" (slang for being unemployed), he spends most of his time doing household chores. On the other hand, his wife Anita Mishra is a headstrong, smart, modern lady who runs grooming classes. She is the breadwinner of the family and despises her husband's unemployment and laziness.


Their houses are in opposite directions across the street, with the Tiwaris residing in House no. 6 and the Mishras living in House no. 9. The Tiwari's have their own house while the Mishras live in a rental house that belonged to Anita's uncle. Most of the plot takes place at their respective homes.

The husbands, Vibhuti Narayan Mishra and Manmohan Tiwari, have been married for seven years and are bored with their marriages while being smitten with each other's wives, unbeknownst to one another.


As both the men devise schemes to impress each other's wives, they pull each other down and in-turn, create problematic situations for everybody else. Other recurring characters include Bhoorey Lal Daddoo (Angoori's loving father, who hates Tiwari because of his embarrassing business of [[undergarment]]s and often likes to [[Alcoholic drink|drink]] with Vibhuti), Helen Mishra (Vibhuti's Mother), Danny Sharma (Anita's rich loving [[Non-resident Indian and person of Indian origin|NRI]] Daddy who disapproves Vibhuti because of their love marriage), Ramkali Tiwari Amma Ji (Manmohan Tiwari's strict mother), Ladoo Tiwari (Manmohan Tiwari's little brother), Happu Singh (a corrupt police inspector), Anokhelal Saxena (a crazy man with genius-level skills and a love for electric shocks), Teeka Ram and Malkhan (two rowdy boys), Tillu (Tiwari's shop employee), Prem Choudhary (Vibhuti's rich, but dubious, friend), Gulfam Kali (Kanpur's best courtesan), David Mishra (Vibhuti's rich NRI uncle from the UK), Pelu Chaurasia (the local rickshaw puller), Resham Pal Singh (Kanpur's Commissioner) and many more.
Manmohan Tiwari is a successful undergarment businessman. Often referred to as "Kaccha Baniyaan" (a slang term for selling undergarments), he spends most of his time managing his business. In contrast, his wife, Angoori Tiwari, is a simple and naive housewife.


==Cast and characters==
Their neighbour, Vibhuti Narayan Mishra, was once an unsuccessful insurance agent and is now unemployed. Often referred to as "Nalla" (a slang term for being unemployed), he spends most of his time doing household chores. In contrast, his wife, Anita Mishra, is a headstrong, smart, and modern woman who runs grooming classes. She is the breadwinner of the family and disapproves of her husband's unemployment and laziness.
 
Their houses are located across the street from each other, with the Tiwaris residing in House No. 6 and the Mishras in House No. 9. The Tiwaris own their house, while the Mishras live in a rental property that belonged to Anita's uncle. Much of the plot unfolds in their respective homes, and the characters often visit a nearby tea stall, "Gupta Tea Center", where they discuss their lives and daily affairs.
 
As both men devise schemes to impress each other's wives—Angoori and Anita—they frequently undermine each other and create further complications for everyone involved.

* [[Aasif Sheikh]] as Vibhuti "Vibhu" Narayan Mishra, an unsuccessful insurance agent, Anita's husband, David's nephew, and Helen's son. Often called "Nalla" for being unemployed, he has fallen for the simple-minded Angoori Tiwari, Manmohan’s wife. He is known to be highly educated but refuses to take a regular job due to his ego and laziness. His plans to woo Angoori usually fail due to her naivety, putting him in dire situations. He despises Manmohan Tiwari, believing that Manmohan doesn't deserve a wife like Angoori. Vibhuti has tried numerous times to ruin Manmohan's reputation in front of Angoori, but these attempts have led to negative results.

* [[Rohitash Gaud]] as Manmohan Tiwari, a successful undergarments businessman, who is attracted to the modern and elegant Anita Mishra. He is called ''Kaccha-Baniyaan'' (crude words for undergarments) by Vibhuti because he thinks Tiwari's business is disgraceful. He is known to be petty and stingy yet a very cunning person. He always tries to manipulate situations in his favour, sometimes to impress Anita Mishra, with little to no success. He has a love-hate relationship with his overtly dominating mother and gets irritated whenever Angoori follows his mother's wishes blindly, even if it gets him in peril. He gets very defensive whenever Vibhuti asks him about his mother's relationship to Pandit Ramphal or about Tiwari's father who left his mother due to unknown circumstances.
* [[Rohitashv Gour]] as Manmohan Tiwari, a successful undergarments businessman. Often called ‘Kaccha-Baniyaan’ for selling undergarments, he is attracted to the modern and elegant Anita Mishra, Vibhuti's wife. He is Ramkali's elder son, Laddu's elder brother, and Angoori's husband. He’s often depicted being short tempered and greedy, as he keeps all money to himself and refuses to give it to others. Throughout the series, it is frequently hinted, though never confirmed, that Manmohan may not be Ramkali's biological son from her husband Jummanlal Tiwari but rather from Pandit Ramphal, a priest from whom Ramkali regularly seeks remedies and spiritual advice.

* [[Yogesh Tripathi]] as Daroga Happu Singh, a corrupt Daroga (police inspector) who has a secret crush on Anita whom he calls 'Gori Mem' (meaning "Fair Ma'am"). He demands bribes from everybody in exchange for favours from him (and calls them "nyochhaavar" which means sacrifices) much to the chagrin of the residents, to feed his "nine kids" and a "pregnant wife" although nobody believes him as he has been saying that for years now. He yearns for a promotion, but Police Commissioner Resham Pal always gets in his way. He is short-tempered and most of the time he is seen thrashing Tillu, Tika and Malkhan at the tea stall for their antics.
* [[Saanand Verma]] as Anokhelal Saxena, commonly known as Saxena Ji. He is eccentric and mentally unstable. He often [[electrocutes]] himself and consumes bizarre or unhealthy items like lizard soup and cockroach tea, followed by his trademark exclamation, "I like it!".

* [[Saanand Verma]] as Anokhelal Saxena, more popularly known as Saxena Ji, a genius and talented but aptly crazy man with an obsession of electrocuting himself, being tortured and eating almost anything that is poisonous or unhealthy, like lizard soup and cockroach tea.

Over the course of the show, he is shown to possess various talents like being a lawyer, an artist, an actor, a writer, a singer, etc. The reason for his insanity is never explained. He calls Angoori and Anita as "Bhabhi Maa" for being maternal figures in his life.

Although dim-witted, he is relatively more intelligent than Tika and Malkhan.

* Soma Rathod as Ramkali Tiwari (Ammaji), Jummanlal's wife, Manmohan and Ladoos's mother who loves her daughter-in law, Angoori and younger son, Ladoo. Ramkali is a devoted follower of the renowned astrologer and priest, Pundit Ramphal, who suggests various rituals that she makes Angoori perform to attain health and wealth.

In a 2016 interview, one of the lead actors [[Rohitash Gaud]] cited that the show was initially developed as an adult comedy show for male viewers. He said, "We show (adult jokes) in a very subtle way. We made this show for men. We were not focusing on women or children. But when we saw that children were getting attached to it, then we thought of lowering down the naughty element of the show".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bollywoodlife.com/news-gossip/rohitash-gaud-feels-content-on-indian-tv-is-over-dramatic/|title=Rohitash Gaud feels content on Indian TV is 'over-dramatic'|publisher=[[BollywoodLife.com]] |date=26 December 2016}}</ref>
 
About Angoori's catchphrase "''Sahee Pakde Hai''", director [[Shashank Bali]] recalled that they came up with the idea after the first day of the shoot, when the show's writer and his friend Manoj Santoshi called him and asked him if they can give Angoori a catchphrase, for whenever her English would go wrong, she would say that. He further said the way Santoshi said ' ''Sahi Pakde Hai'' ' excited him. The next day, they both met Shinde and requested her to get familiar with the dialogue and after that, Shinde did it effortlessly and it became a mainstay of the show.<ref name='tc5' />

The show, while having a more adult premise than most other Indian TV shows, tried to defy the [[Gender roles|gender expectations]] of a female character on the show, according to the female lead [[Saumya Tandon]]. While explaining the norms of Indian television industry, she said:

Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! (transl. Is Sister-in-Law at Home?), sometimes abbreviated as BGPH, is an Indian Hindi-language sitcom that premiered on 2 March 2015 on &TV and is digitally available on ZEE5.[2] The series is produced under the banner of Edit II Productions.

This comedy show revolves around two neighbouring couples, the Mishras and the Tiwaris, where the husbands are attracted to each other's wives and use various, ultimately unsuccessful, yet hilarious techniques to impress them.[3]

The show has garnered widespread acclaim from critics and viewers. Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! is inspired by the 1990s Hindi sitcom Shrimaan Shrimati.[4] A spin-off sitcom, Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, featuring the show's character Happu Singh, was also released in 2019.

Plot

The show is set in the fictional "Modern Colony" in Kanpur and revolves around two neighbouring couples. The husbands, Vibhuti Narayan Mishra and Manmohan Tiwari, have been married for seven years and are bored with their marriages while being smitten with each other's wives, unbeknownst to one another.

Manmohan Tiwari is a successful undergarment businessman. Often referred to as "Kaccha Baniyaan" (a slang term for selling undergarments), he spends most of his time managing his business. In contrast, his wife, Angoori Tiwari, is a simple and naive housewife.

Their neighbour, Vibhuti Narayan Mishra, was once an unsuccessful insurance agent and is now unemployed. Often referred to as "Nalla" (a slang term for being unemployed), he spends most of his time doing household chores. In contrast, his wife, Anita Mishra, is a headstrong, smart, and modern woman who runs grooming classes. She is the breadwinner of the family and disapproves of her husband's unemployment and laziness.

Their houses are located across the street from each other, with the Tiwaris residing in House No. 6 and the Mishras in House No. 9. The Tiwaris own their house, while the Mishras live in a rental property that belonged to Anita's uncle. Much of the plot unfolds in their respective homes, and the characters often visit a nearby tea stall, "Gupta Tea Center", where they discuss their lives and daily affairs.

As both men devise schemes to impress each other's wives—Angoori and Anita—they frequently undermine each other and create further complications for everyone involved.

Cast

Main

  • Aasif Sheikh as Vibhuti "Vibhu" Narayan Mishra, an unsuccessful insurance agent, Anita's husband, David's nephew, and Helen's son. Often called "Nalla" for being unemployed, he has fallen for the simple-minded Angoori Tiwari, Manmohan’s wife. He is known to be highly educated but refuses to take a regular job due to his ego and laziness. His plans to woo Angoori usually fail due to her naivety, putting him in dire situations. He despises Manmohan Tiwari, believing that Manmohan doesn't deserve a wife like Angoori. Vibhuti has tried numerous times to ruin Manmohan's reputation in front of Angoori, but these attempts have led to negative results. Although he claims to be the "Chhapra University Topper," his Uncle David Mishra revealed that he bought the degree for him during his college years. (2015–present)
  • Rohitashv Gour as Manmohan Tiwari, a successful undergarments businessman. Often called ‘Kaccha-Baniyaan’ for selling undergarments, he is attracted to the modern and elegant Anita Mishra, Vibhuti's wife. He is Ramkali's elder son, Laddu's elder brother, and Angoori's husband. He’s often depicted being short tempered and greedy, as he keeps all money to himself and refuses to give it to others. Throughout the series, it is frequently hinted, though never confirmed, that Manmohan may not be Ramkali's biological son from her husband Jummanlal Tiwari but rather from Pandit Ramphal, a priest from whom Ramkali regularly seeks remedies and spiritual advice. (2015–present)
  • Shilpa Shinde as Angoori Tiwari, a traditional Indian housewife who wears a lehenga-style saree, sindoor and mangalasutra and speaks with a Bhojpuri accent.[5] She is gullible, kind-hearted, and innocent, regarded as one of the most kindhearted women in her neighbourhood. She is Manmohan's wife, Bhoorey Lal's daughter, and Puttan's elder sister. Angoori performs various superstitious rituals, often suggested by her loving mother-in-law, Ramkali, leading to humorous outcomes.[6] She occasionally mispronounces English words, prompting others to correct her in certain situations, to which she replies with her signature catchphrase "Sahin pakde hain"(You got it right) .: Shinde left the series after a dispute with the series' producer, Binaifer Kohli and former channel head Vikas Gupta. Later in December 2025, she returned, reprising her role as Angoori Tiwari.[7] (2015–2016, 2025–present)
    • Ghoonghat Wali Bhabhiji (2025–present)
  • Shubhangi Atre as Angoori Tiwari (replaced Shinde from 2016–2025)
  • Saumya Tandon as Anita "Annu" Mishra, Vibhuti's wife, a modern, elegant woman who leads grooming classes in Kanpur. She holds a black belt in Karate, which she uses for self-defense. To fulfill her romantic fantasies, she frequently persuades Vibhuti to adopt various characters, such as a thief, robber, college stud, painter, dacoit, electrician, and cop, often leaving him frustrated. She shares a good friendship with Angoori. On 21 August 2020, Tandon revealed via her social media accounts that she has opted to not renew her contract and has quit the show.[8] (2015–2020)

Recurring

  • Yogesh Tripathi as Daroga Happu Singh, a corrupt police inspector who has a secret crush on Gulfam Kali and Anita, whom he affectionately calls 'Gori Mem' (meaning "Fair Ma'am"). He frequently demands bribes and occasionally thrashes Tillu, Tika, and Malkhan for their mischief. (2015-2025)

Ramkali is a devoted follower of the renowned astrologer and priest, Pundit Ramphal, who suggests various rituals that she makes Angoori perform to attain health and wealth. The nature of Ramkali's relationship with Pundit Ramphal insinuates that he may be Manmohan Tiwari's biological father.
  • Vaibhav Mathur as Tika Ram, an unemployed dimwit who often accompanies his friends Tillu and Malkhan. The trio lives together in a rented place. Tika frequently flirts with girls alongside Malkhan. At times, he is depicted as a diploma holder, while at other times he is shown as illiterate. One of Tika's amusing quirks is his miscommunication; he often says, "I can't toilet," when he actually means, "I can't tolerate.

  • Sandeep Yadav as Sabzi Wala (2015–2017)
  • Kishore Bhanushali as Resham Pal Singh, the no-nonsense Commissioner of Kanpur Police Department. He is honest and dislikes Happu Singh's corrupt antics.

Guests

Several celebrities and actors have appeared on the show as guest stars, either to promote their films or for special appearances.

Background and production

Development and writing

After the launch of &pictures in November 2014, ZEE network launched its second channel under the "&" network brand, "&tv", to be launched in March 2015.[19] The channel's original content line-up was announced in early 2015 with "Bhabiji..." included, announced as a light-hearted comedy sitcom. All promos were featured on ZEE. The channel intended to place "Bhabiji..." in a late-night slot as a comedy show for adults.[20]

Casting

Before the show went into production, Rashmi Desai was chosen to play the character of 'Angoori'. But Desai rejected the role because of age differences between her and co-actor Rohitash Gaud and the role went to Shilpa Shinde.[21] Actor Aasif Sheikh revealed that before production started, he suggested the makers cast Shilpa Shinde, when he heard about the character of 'Angoori' for the first time.[22]

After one year in April 2016,[23] approximately 80 actresses auditioned for the role of Angoori and Shubhangi Atre was selected after the unexpected exit of Shinde from the series.[24]

Filming

The set of Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! is located in Naigaon.[25][26][27]

In October 2016,[28] film actress Sunny Leone came in for a sequence shoot on the set of Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai!. While on set, she refused to say Angoori's catchphrase "Sahi Pakde Hain" ("You got it right!") as she thought it has a vulgar meaning.

Film adaptation

A film based on the series called Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! Fun On The Run was release on 6 February 2026. It is be directed by the director of the television series, Shashank Bali. It is produced by Sanjay Kohli, Binaifer Kohli and Vihaan Kohli.[34]

Reception

Critical reception

In 2015, TVR ratings confirmed that Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai! had higher viewership than the popular reality show Bigg Boss, which had the same time-slot and was hosted by actor Salman Khan.[35] Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai! is one of the most-watched sitcoms in Pakistan.[citation needed]

In a 2016 interview, the show's director Shashank Bali acknowledged that when Shilpa Shinde left the show and Shubhangi Atre was roped in for the role of 'Angoori', the show's ratings declined. He said, "Viewers were so involved with the original cast. When Shilpa got replaced, the connection broke with the viewers; hence we dropped in numbers. Now we have again recovered the original rating".[36]

In 2017, the show's publicity was questioned when co-actress, Shilpa Shinde participated in Bigg Boss. In an interview, a reporter asked actor Aasif Sheikh whether Shilpa Shinde's participation in Bigg Boss 11 publicised the show, to which Aasif Sheikh replied, "Our show is doing good, which is what matters. Publicity is publicity whether it is good or bad".[37]

According to DNA, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai! is a top-ranking sitcom on local primetime television.[38] In 2018, union minister Kiren Rijiju in his tweet, stated he and his wife are enthusiastic followers of Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hai!

Catchphrases used by the characters, particularly Angoori's "Sahi Pakde Hain", Vibhuti's "I am sa-a-ah-ree (a humorously exaggerated take on "sorry")...I'm really, really sah-ree", that of Saxena Ji's "I like it", Happu Singh's "Arre Dada" and Masterji's "Sanskar naam ka cheez hai ki nahi" have become popular outside the show.[39][40]

Aasif Sheikh who plays the role of Vibhuti Narayan Mishra in the show has been acknowledged by World Book of Records London for Performing More than 300 Different Characters in a single running Television show on 19 October 2021.[41] [42]

In a 2023 interview, actor Aasif Sheikh also revealed that when Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain debuted, nobody was confident about it and thought it would not run beyond six months. He said, “We had never imagined that Bhabi Ji would run for 8 years and would complete 2000 episodes.[43]

The show, while having a more adult premise than most other Indian TV shows, tried to defy the gender expectations of a female character on the show, according to the female lead Saumya Tandon. While explaining the norms of Indian television industry, she said:

I play 'Gori Mem' Anita Bhabhi's character. I feel she one-of-a-kind Bhabhi on Indian TV. When all the heroines of Indian TV are poor innocent women crying for help all the time, battered by husbands and in-laws, Anita is wacky, bold, romantic, strong and independent. She breaks all norms of a stereotypical Bhabhi or a TV heroine. In such a male-dominated society if she has managed to steal peoples hearts, that shows our society is not all that regressive. She has shown the world that heroines can get TRPs even laughing and not just by crying.[44]

In August 2018, Shubhangi Atre said audiences want a wife like her character Angoori.[45]

Controversies

In March 2016, actress Shilpa Shinde unexpectedly left the show.[48] Shinde made several allegations against producers Benaifer Kohli,[49] Sanjay Kohli,[49][50] co-actress Saumya Tandon,[51] and &TV programming head Vikas Gupta.[52] Shinde stated that she was forced to leave the show[53] and was owed 32 lakh (3.2 million rupees).[54][51] Benaifer Kohli responded in September 2016 that Shinde's salary had twice been raised in the past as per her demand.[55]

The matter was taken to Cine and TV Artists Association (CINTAA) and soon after that, Edit II Productions dispatched a legal document to Shinde for her unexplained absence from the production, which continued.[56]

Shinde mentioned that the makers favoured Tandon over her, citing lack of personal staff for her.[48][57] Benaifer Kohli denied the discrimination claim and said that she never refused any demand from Shinde regarding her costumes, jewellery or make-up. Tandon stated: "At the beginning of the show when I signed the contract, I had made it clear to the producers that I will manage my own designer and make-up".[58]

On 3 March 2016, Sanjay Kohli announced that the show would replace Shinde, whom he accused of unprofessional behaviour. Shinde stated &TV falsely accused her of unprofessionalism because she refused to sign a new contract with a clause that she not portray a character like Angoori in the future. Binaifer Kohli demanded approximately 12 crore (120 million rupees) from Shinde, citing breach of contract as Shinde was trying to work on another show.[48][59] Shinde said there was no such clause and accused Kohli of contract-tempering.[60]

In March 2017, Shinde filed a First Information Report (FIR[61] against Sanjay Kohli, whom she accused of sexual harassment.[62][49] According to the FIR:

Shilpa has alleged that Sanjay often tried to take advantage of her and called her hot and sexy. She said that he even touched her inappropriately once to which she objected with a firm no. Sanjay threatened her that he will throw her out of the show if she spoke to anyone about this. Next day, he again came to her make-up room and told her to get into a physical relationship with him if she wanted to stay on the show. She alleged that her make-up man saw this happening, after which he was fired.[63]

Shinde also stated that she talked about the matter to her co-actress Saumya Tandon.[51] Shinde further said that after listening to the matter, Tandon's reply was: "No one rapes in our industry, Shilpa".[51] Shinde stated that Benaifer Kohli tried to bury the matter and threatened her.[49] Tandon responded to Shinde's statement:

It is so sad that she used my name. Saying that she confided in me is not true at all. I shared a very professional relationship with her. [...] I didn't get any such vibes from my producer [Sanjay Kohli] and I never noticed him having such kind of intention for any other female on our sets. In fact, he doesn't really come on the sets and he never goes to any actor's room or vanity at all, so I didn't experience any such thing.[51]

In April 2017, actress Sameeksha Singh, who worked with producers Binaifer Kholi and Sanjay Kholi in their serial Zaara, stated that she was in the same situation when she was working with them. She said Sanjay Kohli used to flirt with her but his actions were unacceptable in Shinde's situation.[64] Television actress Kavita Kaushik who worked with Sanjay Kohli on his show FIR, questioned why Shinde was quiet for one year and accused her of being a bad example for other girls. Shinde replied that she was facing many problems at that time and that it is difficult to publicly address sexual harassment.

In April 2017, Benaifer Kohli and Sanjay Kohli registered a case against Shinde for defamation. On 13 February 2018,[65] Shinde stated the show's makers had approached her and requested her to finish the matter and she had retracted her FIR against Sanjay Kohli.[65]
