A vibrant family entertainer, Gharwali Pedwali blends slice-of-life humour with a quirky supernatural twist, promising viewers a joyful, laughter-filled viewing experience.
At the heart of this delightful show is Prithvi Mishra, fondly known as Jeetu, whose life has always been shaped by unexpected “twos”, two mothers, two fathers, two bosses, and now, by destiny’s strangest turn, two wives. What begins as a simple dream of marital bliss with his real wife, Savi, soon transforms into comic chaos when an astrological hurdle leads to a symbolic tree marriage. The harmless ritual takes an unforeseen turn when Latika, a spirited ghost from another era, enters Jeetu’s life believing herself to be his rightful bride. What follows is a hilarious tug-of-war between his grounded Gharwali and his whimsical Pedwali, doubling the drama, doubling the mischief, and doubling the fun.
Set in Varanasi, Gharwali Pedwali presents a unique world where the warmth of family life meets magical unpredictability. As Jeetu navigates the daily madness created by his practical, modern Savi and the playful, old-world Latika, he finds himself caught between love, loyalty, and supernatural hilarity. Their contrasting personalities bring endless comedic clashes, unexpected emotional moments, and a daily rollercoaster that keeps the audience constantly entertained.
Talking about the show, Kaveri Das-Chief Channel Officer &TV, Business Head – Hindi Z5 says, “At &TV, we strive to introduce concepts that surprise, entertain, and emotionally connect with our audiences. ‘Gharwali Pedwali’ is a refreshing and imaginative take on family comedy. A genre loved across Indian households yet rarely explored in new, innovative ways. The contrast between a modern, independent young wife and a spirited ghost bride brings limitless possibilities for humour and storytelling. The show beautifully captures everyday family emotions while adding a magical layer that makes it truly distinctive. With its quirky premise, rooted characters and warmth, we believe the show will bring wholesome joy to our viewers every night.”
Peninsula Productions adds, “What excited us most about ‘Gharwali Pedwali’ is its ability to deliver clean, joyful entertainment with a novel twist. The supernatural element does not merely add humour to it, it builds emotion, conflict and laughter in ways that feel fresh and meaningful. Jeetu’s world, divided between two wives from two different realms, lends itself to endless comedic possibilities while keeping the narrative heartfelt and relatable. We are grateful to &TV for their belief in such innovative storytelling, and we are confident that viewers will embrace this show for its originality, warmth, and sheer entertainment value.”
Talking about his role as Jeetu, Paras Arora says, “Jeetu is a beautifully relatable character, someone who wants a simple, peaceful life but always ends up in complicated situations. Playing a man balancing two wives, one real and one supernatural, is both hilarious and creatively challenging. What drew me to this role was its innocence and unpredictability. Comedy as a genre is incredibly rewarding, and this script instantly connects with me because it offers humour rooted in emotion. I am excited for viewers to see Jeetu’s confusion, charm and journey as he navigates this utterly chaotic double life.”
Speaking about her role as Latika, Priyamvada Kant shares, “My character Latika is the heart of the show dramatic, affectionate, old-worldly and delightfully mischievous. As a spirit who genuinely believes Jeetu belongs to her, her emotions and actions drive much of the show’s humour and warmth. Supernatural comedy is such an unexplored genre on Indian television, and that’s exactly what drew me to this project. Latika is layered, expressive and funny, and playing her allows me to blend comedy with emotional depth. I’m thrilled to return to television with a role this unique.”
Adding about her role as Savi, Seerat Kapoor adds, “Savi is a vibrant, modern Gen Z girl who believes in love, family and honest relationships. Her world completely flips when she discovers that her husband now has a second ‘wife’, who happens to be a ghost! The contrast between Savi’s contemporary personality and Latika’s old-school charm creates some of the most humorous and emotional moments in the show. I love Savi’s strength and her ability to find humour even in the most chaotic situations. This show is unlike anything I have done before, and I am sure the audience will enjoy this magical, comedic, and emotional rollercoaster.”
With its refreshing storytelling, endearing characters, and a delightful blend of realism and fantasy, Gharwali Pedwali’ is all set to offer viewers a heartfelt, humorous, and thoroughly entertaining family drama.
Tune in to watch ‘Gharwali Pedwali’, premiering on December 15 at 10:00 PM, every Monday to Friday, on &TV.
