From TV sets to village life — Anjuum Faakih takes on Chhoriyan Chali Gaon

Zee TV is all set for its upcoming reality show — Chhoriyan Chali Gaon, staying true to its legacy of pioneering non-fiction formats. The show brings together 11 independent urban women who step away from their modern comforts to spend over 60 days in a rural Indian village, taking on everyday tasks without the aid of technology or conveniences. With a compelling blend of desi charm and heartfelt resilience, the show promises to bridge the worlds of ‘India’ and ‘Bharat’ in a way that feels both fresh and deeply resonant.

Guiding the journey is Rannvijay Singha, who steps in as host, mentor, and motivator — a steady presence encouraging the women through every challenge. Stepping into this journey with passion and purpose is popular television star Anjuum Faakih. Known for her striking screen presence and ability to deeply resonate with viewers, Anjuum will bring a grounded perspective to the show. Her personal connection to village life offers her a unique lens through which she embraces the challenges ahead.

Anjuum Faakih said, “I genuinely think Chhoriyan Chali Gaon is one of the most exciting and refreshing concepts in recent times, and I’m truly thrilled to be a part of it. The moment I was approached, I said yes without a second thought. I knew it would be a unique challenge, and I love stepping outside my comfort zone. Having been born in Ratnagiri, I feel I may have a small edge — my village roots have taught me to understand the rhythm and realities of rural life, and that awareness will hopefully help me adapt better.”

She added, “I’ve always admired Rannvijay —he has an inspiring personality. But beyond that, what really stands out is how grounded and genuine he is. Additionally, every time I’ve worked with Zee, it’s been a fantastic experience, great projects, and I have received nothing but love, recognition, and warmth from fans. To all my fans, I request you to support me in this new journey, just like you’ve supported my characters over the years. Let’s make this experience truly unforgettable!”

With her courage, honesty, and deep connections to her roots, Anjuum is poised to be a powerful presence in Chhoriyan Chali Gaon, representing the true spirit of strength and transformation. With the upcoming launch of Chhoriyan Chali Gaon, audiences can expect an exciting narrative of community, resilience, and self-discovery.
