MUMBAI: Shemaroo Umang is all set to bring to its audience a drama filled with power, betrayal, rivalry and twists like no other, as Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain. At the heart of the drama is Chaina, played by the talented Diksha Dhami lively, street-smart, clever, and full of surprises. As Chaina enters as the haveli as the youngest daughter-in-law, standing in her way is Chamkeeli, the cunning and ruthless eldest daughter-in-law, played by Ishita Ganguly. Chamkeeli is obsessed with control and power, and she’ll do whatever it takes to secure her position at the top. From lies and tricks to complex schemes, she’s willing to cross any line to stay in charge.

Chamkeeli’s thirst for power is unmatched. Every move she makes is calculated, and when she’s wronged, you better watch out—there’s no telling how far she’ll go to fight back. It’s this drive that makes her both a fascinating villain and an unforgettable character.

Ishita Ganguly, who plays Chamkeeli, shared her excitement about the role: "Chamkeeli is unlike any character I’ve played before—she’s fierce, determined, and believes her ruthless actions are completely justified to get what she wants. While the heroine is the heart of the story, it’s characters like Chamkeeli that truly bring it to life. You’ll love to hate her. At every step, Chamkeeli will create challenges for Chaina. What drew me to this role is how dark and bold Chamkeeli is. Unlike typical stories, this one stands out because of the fresh approach to the script and the challenging role it offers. As an actor, when you get a character like this, you can’t resist taking it on."

The intense rivalry between Chamkeeli and Chaina is at the heart of Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain, and as the two women battle for control- one with right intentions and the other with wrong, the show promises a rollercoaster of emotions, drama, and unexpected twists.
