Harbhajan Singh, the former Indian cricketer, and his wife, actress Geeta Basra, are stepping into the spotlight together with their new chat show, "Who's The Boss?". The show, produced under their home banner Purple Rose Entertainment, marks a unique collaboration for the couple after 10 years of marriage. "Who's The Boss?" aims to explore the lives of celebrity couples, particularly cricketers and their wives, offering viewers a glimpse into their relationships and personal journeys.
The concept of the show is to highlight the women behind the successful cricketers. Harbhajan noted that while cricketers are well-known, their wives often remain in the shadows, despite having their own identities and stories. Geeta added that the show aims to reveal the real-life stories of these couples, showcasing their dynamics and how they navigate life together.
"Who's The Boss?" intends to capture raw and relatable moments, from personal challenges to how couples resolve disagreements. Geeta shared that the show's vision was conceptualized years ago, driven by the curiosity surrounding the lives of cricketers behind closed doors. As a cricketer's wife, her goal is to highlight the women who provide essential support to these celebrated men.
Harbhajan's experiences as a cricketer will add depth to the show. Geeta has often spoken about the importance of strength and support in a relationship, emphasizing the need for it to be felt and not just spoken about. The show will delve into the pressures, emotions, and behind-the-scenes moments experienced during major events like the World Cup, offering a deeply personal perspective.
The show will soon be available on YouTube, where Harbhajan and Geeta will co-host, and feature Indian cricketers and their wives. Former Indian skipper Rohit Sharma and his wife Ritika Sajdeh are expected to be among the guests.
When asked about the inspiration behind "Who's The Boss?", Geeta stated that she had the idea in mind for a long time. After it was stalled due to Covid, she decided to execute it independently with her brother, Deepak. Harbhajan expressed his appreciation for the concept, emphasizing the importance of bringing the wives to the forefront and sharing interesting and humorous anecdotes about the couples.
Geeta clarified that "Who's The Boss?" is different from "The Kapil Sharma Show," as their show focuses on personal stories and real-life dynamics rather than sketch comedy and entertainment. Harbhajan added that they aim to uncover the personal lives of public figures, such as Rohit Sharma, whom people know as a cricketer but not as a person.
The couple shares responsibilities equally at home. Geeta primarily takes care of the children's daily activities, classes, meals, and household maintenance, while Harbhajan manages the financial aspects. They both have a say in important decisions, emphasizing their partnership.
Harbhajan and Geeta aspire for "Who's The Boss?" to gain popularity. They are excited about the potential impact of the show and hope to host many well-known guests, including Kapil Sharma someday. While Harbhajan is focused on the talk show, Geeta is also pursuing her acting career, with upcoming roles in "Mehr" and "Awasthi vs Awasthi."
