The end is near

Over the last couple of weeks, a lot of drama has unfolded on Hamariwali Good News. In another twist in the tale, protagonist Renuka Tiwari, played by Juhi Parmar, will be killed in an explosion. “It is a creative call and I am in agreement with what is best for the show. I have played Renuka for over six months,” says the actor. But it won’t be long before she will be brought back to life in another turn of events.

Hamariwali Good News tackles a rather unconventional theme — a mature couple decide to bear a child for their son and daughter-in-law. The Zee TV show tells a story that captures the dynamics of the saas-bahu relationship in Indian society, through the story of daughter-in-law Navya (Srishti Jain) and her mother-in-law Renuka (Juhi). Shakti Anand essays Mukund, who is Renuka's husband and Navya's father-in-law.
