Anita Hassanandani, a well-known face in Indian television and films, is reportedly gearing up for a new challenge. Sources suggest she has been approached to participate in the upcoming reality show, "Goriya Chali Gaon," which is expected to air soon on Zee TV. While there's no official confirmation from the actress yet, insiders claim that she has already agreed to be a part of the show after a meeting with the producers.
"Goriya Chali Gaon" is described as a unique reality show inspired by the popular Marathi series "Jau Bai Gavat." The concept revolves around bringing together 12 women from the entertainment industry and placing them in a traditional village setting, completely disconnected from modern city life and gadgets. Over a period of 10 weeks, these urban women will experience rural living, facing challenges designed to test their adaptability and encourage personal growth.
The show promises a mix of culture, emotion, and transformation as the celebrity contestants immerse themselves in a rural environment. They will be seen performing daily chores such as milking cows, cooking on a 'chulha' (traditional stove), and fetching water from wells, residing in traditional village homes without access to phones, makeup, staff, or other conveniences. The show is set against the backdrop of Sehore, Madhya Pradesh, and aims to provide an immersive survival-meets-culture experience.
Produced by Banijay Asia, the company behind major reality shows like "Bigg Boss" and "Khatron Ke Khiladi," "Goriya Chali Gaon" is poised to be a fresh addition to Zee TV's non-fiction lineup. The show is loosely inspired by the Marathi series "Jau Bai Gavat," which successfully explored a similar concept of urban women adapting to rural settings.
If finalized, "Goriya Chali Gaon" would mark Anita Hassanandani's return to unscripted television after her previous appearances in shows like "Nach Baliye" and "Comedy Circus." Known for her work in both drama and comedy, Anita's presence would likely bring star power and relatability to the show. It remains to be seen how the actress will manage to stay away from her husband, Rohit Reddy, and their four-year-old son, Aaravv Reddy, during the show's duration.
