    Kool comedy debuts on Zee today

    After Hum Paanch, comes another comedy from the Balaji stable on Zee. 

    Ganga and Jamuna with the younger generation of the Champanaria family

    Kitne Kool Hain Hum, if the hoardings all over Mumbai are to be believed, is a comedy in the glorious tradition of Hum Paanch. Positioned in the 8 pm slot, the storyline of KKHH revolves around a family that inherits a lot of money and moves from the interiors of Gujarat to the manic madness that’s Mumbai. The episodes trace the family’s gaffes as they try to cope with life in the big city. Based loosely on Beverly Hillbillies, KKHH will supposedly play on the simplicity of life.

    Even as Balaji attempts to bring in a sense of humour into a Gujarati family’s escapades, (current rage Kyunkii is

    all about a Gujarati family’s more serious doings), Star Plus has beaten it to the game by introducing a Gujarati family in Hum Saath Aath Hain, its own daily evening comedy show. Of the Hum Paanch cast, Shoma Anand is repeated. Newcomers including Jaity Bhatia, Darshan Jhaveriwala and Anurag Prappana make their debut in this show.

    Ketaki Dave joins Hum Saath Aath Hain cast

    Hum Saath Aath Hain, the daily comedy on Star Plus, gets an addition to the cast in the form of Ketaki Dave.

    The vivacious and talented actress, who regaled audiences as Daksha in Kyunkii Saas bhi kabhi bahu thi, returns to the channel as Kokila Marfatia, the better half of Bharatbhai, the new neighbours of the Kapoor family that ruled Hum Saath Aath Hain thus far. The Marfatia family takes its bow on 1 April, and adds to the confusion and hilarity that marks the daily comedy at 7:30 pm.

    Ketaki plays a spendthrift housewife, as against her miserly husband, who is as tight fisted as they come. Ketaki a.k.a Kokilaben is a complete Hindi film buff – she sleeps, eats, breathes films and imagines that she is part of a film, and is convinced that she would have made it as an actress, if she had not got married.

    Both families that will now make up the cast of Hum Saath Aath Hain are extremely deep set in their ways, one Punjabi, the other Gujarati. A majority of the hilarious scenes are the rifts between the two older daughters-in-law, Vimla and Kokila.

    Hum Saath Aath Hain is directed by Shrey Guleri for Nirja Guleri’s Prime Channel, makers of Tu Tu Main Main and Chandrakanta.
