Richa Chadha unveils 'Musafiri,' non-fiction series celebrating India's heritage and culture
Mumbai, August 6
Actor-producer Richa Chadha has announced her non-fiction series 'Musafiri', which aims to celebrate India's rich heritage, people and untold stories.
The first season of 'Musafiri' will comprise eight episodes, each dedicated to uncovering the many layers of Mumbai, a city that Richa proudly calls her "residence of choice." More than a conventional travel show, the series is conceived as a heartfelt tribute to the city that shaped her career, transformed her life and continues to inspire her as an artist, as per the press release.
Chadha seeks to explore why Indian society has evolved the way it has, reflecting her deep fascination with the country's diverse legacy and historical contributions to the world.
Sharing the inspiration behind the series, Richa said in a statement, "I've always believed that travel isn't about ticking places off a list, it's about understanding the people, history and culture that shape them. That's the spirit behind 'Musafiri'."
She added, "I wanted to create a series that goes beyond landmarks and uncovers the stories that make every destination unique. We begin with Mumbai because it's a city that has constantly surprised me, but this is only the first stop."
Highlighting the larger vision of the project, the actor-producer said, "Across India are countless traditions, communities and hidden gems waiting to be explored, and I hope 'Musafiri' inspires people to experience them with an open mind and a genuine sense of curiosity."
With Mumbai serving as the starting point, 'Musafiri' aims to evolve into a nationwide exploration of India's extraordinary diversity, offering viewers meaningful journeys into the country's culture, history and communities, one destination at a time.

This is a wonderful initiative. Our country has so many untold stories and hidden gems. I hope she covers the lesser-known parts of Mumbai first, not just the usual Marine Drive and Gateway. There's so much more to our city.
As someone who loves Indian culture, this sounds like a refreshing change from typical travel vlogs. The emphasis on 'understanding' rather than just 'visiting' is commendable. Will definitely tune in!
Good concept, but I hope they actually show the real Mumbai - the 'kaamgaar' spirit, the chawls, the street food vendors, the fishermen communities. Not just the glamorous side. That would be a true tribute to the city.
Love this! Richa is such a talented actress and producer. The idea of exploring India's heritage with curiosity and an open mind is the need of the hour. Can't wait for the episodes! 🙌
This is a smart move by Richa. There's a global audience hungry for authentic Indian stories beyond Bollywood. Hope the production quality is top-notch, like some of the great travel documentaries out there.
Such a refreshing concept! We have so many beautiful traditions and communities that deserve attention. I
