Mumbai, July 23
Comedian Sumukhi Suresh, who will be seen in the upcoming reality show Chhoriyan Chali Gaon, has talked about what makes it special. She says it thrives on the unpredictable and that the unpreparedness is the most beautiful part of the journey.
The show places 11 independent urban women in the heart of rural India for over 60 days. As they navigate daily activities, adapt to a slower pace of life, and absorb the wisdom of rural living.
Sumukhi said, "I'm incredibly excited and equally nervous as this is going to be the very first time I live in a village, and that too as a part of a reality show. That's a challenge like no other! All 11 of us are stepping into this without any of the comforts we're used to, no phones, no gadgets, and if you think we know what's coming, trust me, we don't."
She added: "That's what makes Chhoriyan Chali Gaon so special -- it thrives on the unpredictable. The unpreparedness is the most beautiful part of this journey."
Rannvijay Singha steps in as host, mentor, and motivator, guiding the contestants through every twist and turns.
Sumukhi added, "And when it comes to a host, Rannvijay is hands down the perfect person to guide us through this. His personality strikes that perfect balance between motivating a contestant and someone who can hold us accountable."
The comedian said that she is so proud to be a part of this show and hopes she can entertain and connect with people through this real experience.
The show will air on Zee TV.
Sumukhi is known for humorous sketches which she writes and performs in. She has been a part of stand-up comedy shows like Comicstaan, Go Straight Take Left, Comedy premier League. her solo special, Don't Tell Amma, and the web series, 'Pushpavalli'.

Sumukhi is such a natural entertainer! But I hope the show doesn't romanticize village life too much - there are real challenges our rural brothers and sisters face daily that urban folks often overlook.
No phones for 60 days? 😱 That's the real challenge! But seriously, this could be eye-opening for city girls. Our grandparents lived this life - maybe we'll learn some of that resilience.
Rannvijay as host is perfect choice! He's got that mix of toughness and empathy needed for such shows. Hope this inspires more meaningful content on Indian TV instead of the usual saas-bahu dramas.
As an expat living in Mumbai, I'm fascinated by this concept! It's a great way to understand India's rural-urban divide. Will definitely be watching to learn more about authentic Indian village culture.
Hope they show the actual struggles - fetching water, farming work, power cuts. Not just the "beautiful unpreparedness". Reality shows often sugarcoat things. But with Sumukhi involved, at least we're guaranteed some laughs!
