Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! (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 by Binaifer Kohli under the banner of Edit II Productions.

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

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

Plot

The show takes place in the fictional "Modern Colony" located in Kanpur and revolves around two neighbouring couples. The husbands, Vibhutinarayan Mishra and Manmohan Tiwari, have been married for seven years and 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, Vibhutinarayan 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 characters also visit a nearby tea stall 'Gupta Tea Center' where they mostly discuss their ongoing lives and general affairs. As both the men devise schemes to impress each other's wives (Angoori and Anita), they pull each other down and create more problems for others.

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.^[21] 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.^[22]

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.^[23] 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.^[24]

After one year in April 2016,^[25] approximately 80 actresses auditioned for the role of Angoori and Shubhangi Atre was selected after the unexpected exit of Shinde from the series.^[26]

Filming

The set of Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! is located in Naigaon.^{[27] [28] [29]}

In October 2016,^[30] 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. It took approximately one hour for the makers to convince her that Angoori says this line in literal context and that it has no vulgar meaning and the shoot was resumed.^[31]

In March 2018, the show's entire cast and crew went to Goa, a beach holiday destination, to celebrate the show's third anniversary and shot an entire story sequence named 'Kanpur To Goa'.^[32]

Music

The "BhabiJi Rap Song" was sung, composed and written by Anmol Malik and Raftaar. The soundtrack for the serial was released on 25 February 2017 by Zee Music Company.^[33]

Themes and analysis

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:

In August 2018, Shubhangi Atre said audiences want a wife-like character Angoori.^[34]

Specials

In November 2016, the show was extended by one more day, named "Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai Shanivaar Special" in which celebrities visit the sets.^[35] Nine Shanivaar Special episodes were aired on Saturdays, with celebrity guest stars appearing as part of a plot woven around them and were subsequently interviewed by the main cast.

The spin-off revolves around Happu's domestic life not seen in "Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain!". The show premiered on 4 March 2019.^[37]

Reception

Critical reception

Since the show's inception in 2015, it has garnered positive reviews and acclaim from the critics and viewers alike.^[38] 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.^[39] Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai! is one of the most-watched sitcoms in Pakistan.^[40]

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".^[41]

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".^[42]

According to DNA, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai! is a top-ranking sitcom on local primetime television.^[43] 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.^{[44] [45] [46]}

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.^{[47] [48]}

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 won’t run beyond six months.He said, “We had never imagined that Bhabi Ji would run for 8 years and would complete 2000 episodes.^[49]

Controversy

In March 2016, actress Shilpa Shinde unexpectedly left the show.^[52] Shinde made several allegations against producers Benaifer Kohli, Sanjay Kohli,^[53] co-actress Saumya Tandon, and &TV programming head Vikas Gupta.^[54] Shinde stated that she was forced to leave the show^[55] and was owed  lakh (3.2 million rupees).^[56] Benaifer Kohli responded in September 2016 that Shinde's salary had twice been raised in the past as per her demand.^[57]

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.^[58]

Shinde mentioned that the makers favoured Tandon over her, citing lack of personal staff for her.^[59] Benaifer Kohli denied the discrimination claim and said that she never refused any demand from Shinde regarding her costumes, jewellery or make-up.^[60] 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".^[61]

On 3 March 2016, Sanjay Kohli announced that the show would replace Shinde, whom he accused of unprofessional behaviour.^[62] 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.^[63] Binaifer Kohli demanded approximately 12 crore (120 million rupees)^[64] from Shinde, citing breach of contract as Shinde was trying to work on another show.^[65] Shinde said there was no such clause and accused Kohli of contract-tempering.^[66]

In March 2017, Shinde filed a First Information Report (FIR)^{[67] [68]} against Sanjay Kohli, whom she accused of sexual harassment.^{[69] [70]} According to the FIR:

Shinde also stated that she talked about the matter to her co-actress Saumya Tandon. Shinde further said that after listening to the matter, Tandon's reply was: "No one rapes in our industry, Shilpa". Shinde stated that Benaifer Kohli tried to bury the matter and threatened her.^[70] Tandon responded to Shinde's statement:

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.^[71] 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.^[72] Shinde replied that she was facing many problems at that time and that it is difficult to publicly address sexual harassment.^[72]

In April 2017, Benaifer Kohli and Sanjay Kohli registered a case against Shinde for defamation.^[73]

On 13 February 2018,^{[74] [75]} 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.^{[75] [76]}
