The cast of Zee TV's Dil Dhoondhta Hai
Dil Dhoondta Hai will premiere family is …SPACE no bar! Or is it?
Home is where the family is …SPACE no bar! Or is it? Raising pertinent questions about the pros
and cons of community living, Zee TV’s next primetime fiction drama – Dil Dhoondta Hai, is a
show that captures the struggles of the Indian middle class whose dreams surpass the
boundaries of the small houses they reside in! The show premieres on Thursday, 21 st September
and airs every Monday to Friday at 10:30 PM.
Committed to offering its viewers thought-provoking stories that nudge the ordinary common
man to break out of his self-imposed shackles, draw from his inner strength and re-write his
destiny to land at an extraordinary destination, Zee TV launches Dil Dhoondta Hai, an
endearing tale of dreams and aspirations revolving around the lives of a millennial
couple Raavi and Vishy.
Raavi’s never had to share space as her house back in Punjab, though modest, was a
comfortable stand-alone accommodation with separate rooms for each family member. But
destiny has her falling in love with Vishy and marrying into his Maharashtrian family,
the Dalvis who stay in a small room in a Mumbai chawl where neighbors are as much a part of
the family as your closest kith and kin. While Raavi makes this enormous shift, quickly gets
acclimatised to her new surroundings and even warms up to the closely-knit chawl neighbors
and relatives, claustrophobia gradually begins to set in for both Vishy and Raavi as they barely
manage any privacy or space for themselves. Though Vishy proposes that they move out of the
chawl and into a 1BHK apartment, Raavi refuses saying-Not without our family!
Produced by Dashami Creations, Dil Dhoondta Hai will highlight Raavi and Vishy’s story as they
set out on a challenging journey of buying their dream house – a ‘3 BHK’ and planning a ‘happily
ever after’ with their family!
Deepak Rajadhyaksha, Deputy Business Head, ZEE TV said, “Dil Dhoondta Hai is a unique
concept which addresses the ever-growing challenge facing millennials – ‘family or personal
space?’. The show depicts how modern India, despite being upwardly mobile, continues to be deeply
attached to its core culture of family togetherness. With a robust weekend primetime in place, we
are strengthening our spectrum of offerings by introducing the show at the10:30 PM late
prime-time slot on weekdays. Dil Dhoondta Hai marks our first-ever association with Dashami
Creations, however, Nitin Vaidya who helms the production has been an integral part of Zee
TV’s journey with a 10 year stint with the network and having been the channel’s business
head. We look forward to creating a strong viewing proposition with the show.”
Producer Nitin Vaidya of Dashami Creations said, “Dil Dhoondta Hai ventures deep into the
heart of Mumbai’s chawl-life set-up, and focuses on the very real struggles of space and privacy
that the middle class faces while also touching upon the warmth and togetherness that comes
along with this lifestyle. Raavi and Vishy’s life reflects the ever-increasing dilemma of choosing
between community living and a more nuclear set-up. With apt casting and a finely nuanced
slice-of- life treatment, we hope to touch hearts with this endearing story. ”
Dil Dhoondta Hai will feature a very talented cast including Shivya Pathania as the strong-willed
and spirited Raavi and Stavan Shinde as the calm and determined Vishy. The show will also
feature actors Ashish Dixit, Pratiksha Jha, Rajan Bhise, Purnima Talvalkar, Varsha Dandle and
Hunza Sabir in pivotal roles.
Don’t forget to tune-in to Dil Dhoondta Hai starting 21 st September 2017,
every Monday to Friday at 10:30 PM only on ZEE TV!
About Zee TV
Zee TV, the flagship channel of Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd was launched in October 1992. With a
reach of more than 171 countries and access to 1+ Billion viewers globally, Zee TV has created strong
brand equity and is the largest media franchise serving the South Asian Diaspora. Realizing its strength in
programming and the need for Indian entertainment in the overseas market, it launched Zee TV in the
UK / Europe (1995), the USA (1998), Africa (1998) and is available across five continents. Nearly two
decades since its launch, Zee TV has driven the growth of the satellite and cable industry in India. The
popularity of Zee arises from its understanding of Indian culture and beliefs that are reflected in its
programming. Zee TV’s content library delivers a variety of choices for all segments of the audience
ranging from non-fiction formats that celebrate the talent of India’s common man to fiction shows that
deliver strong messages and drive positive change in society while entertaining viewers. Zee TV’s
content resonates with its core ethos - ‘Har Lamha Nayi Ummeed’ that captures the beauty of re-
discovering a new ray of hope with every moment of life.
Since its inception, Zee TV is a pioneer in the Indian television space – be it introducing singing talent
based reality television with Sa Re Ga Ma in 1995, revolutionizing the way dance was perceived in the
country with Dance India Dance in 2009 or encouraging children’s creativity, spontaneity and acting
skills through India’s Best Dramebaaz in 2013. Zee TV introduced a wave of popular game shows like Just
Ek Minute, Saanp Seedi, Antakshari and clutter-breaking fiction concepts that were way ahead of their
time such as Tara, Banegi Apni Baat, Chattan, Hasratein, Rishtey, Sailaab, Zee Horror show, Amaanat,
Ashirwaad, Basera, Koshish Ek Asha, Ghar ki Lakshmi Betiyann and Mehendi Tere Naam Ki. All these
programmes proved to be major primetime successes and set benchmarks for television. As a socially
responsible broadcaster, Zee TV has touched upon a number of diverse social issues through path-
breaking shows like Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo, Aapki Antara, Saat Phere, Punarvivaah, Afsar Bitya,
Phir Subah Hogi and Doli Armaanon Ki. Some of the channel’s biggest primetime successes in recent
times include Jhansi Ki Rani, Pavitra Rishta, Qubool Hai, Kumkum Bhagya, Jamai Raja, Brahmarakshas,
Piyaa Albela, Zindagi Ki Mehek and Woh …Apna Sa.
