MUMBAI: Shemaroo Umang’s popular show Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain is set for a major turning point as the stakes rise for Chaina (Diksha Dhami). While Chamkeeli’s (Ishita Ganguly) manipulative plan to turn the family against Chaina seems to be succeeding, an unexpected twist is about to change the course of the story — the arrival of a divine force in the form of Guru Maa, played by the legendary actress Dipika Chikhlia.
A name synonymous with devotion and grace, Dipika, fondly remembered by millions as Sita Maiya from Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan, now steps into the pivotal role of Guru Maa. Her character will act as a spiritual mentor, revealing to Chaina that she is Jaiveer’s (Sheel Verma) Rakshini, and will serve as a catalyst for dramatic shifts in the haveli, shaking the very foundations of Chamkeeli’s plans.
For Diksha Dhami, who portrays Chaina, sharing screen with Dipika is a dream come true. “We’ve all grown up hearing from our parents how deeply respected Deepika ji was as Sita Maiya— and still is,” shares Diksha. “When I told my mother I’d be sharing screen space with her, she was over the moon. She told the entire family and her friends before I could even process it myself!” she laughs.
Diksha further adds, “Deepika ji is so humble and grounded despite her legendary status. Working with her has been an eye-opener and an incredible learning experience. The way she effortlessly lights up every scene with such grace is truly inspiring. I feel fortunate — it felt like Sita Maiya came as a guiding light, not just for Chaina, but for me as an actor too. The whole experience felt absolutely divine.”
With Dipika Chikhlia’s much-anticipated entry as Guru Maa, viewers can expect strong emotional arcs, high-voltage drama, and a powerful bond between Chaina and her mentor.
The presence of Guru Maa is set to breathe fresh energy into Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain, further cementing its position as a must-watch for daily drama lovers.
