“This feels like a full-circle moment for me,” said Rajshree Thakur as she returns to Zee TV after 15 years with Bas Itna Sa Khwaab

In countless households, a homemaker’s role often goes unnoticed—her daily efforts to save, manage, and care are quietly woven into the family’s routine, yet they are rarely valued in the same way as the work of a breadwinner. This is what Zee TV’s new offering, Bas Itna Sa Khwaab delves into with the journey of Avani Trivedi, a housewife from Kanpur, who makes small sacrifices and is constantly and tirelessly committed to her family’s well-being. Every rupee saved, every task she shoulders alone, is her way of contributing to the collective family dream of buying and moving into a bigger house they can call their home. But despite all she does, Avani’s dedication is somehow taken for granted. What people often overlook is that while a homemaker’s work may not come with a salary, the value she adds to her family’s well-being is immeasurable!

What’s exciting about the show is that popular and talented actor Rajshree Thakur will be seen playing the role of Avani, as she makes a comeback to Zee TV after 15 long years. She will be portraying the role of a 42-year-old housewife from Kanpur whose relationship with her family is the only thing that defines her personality more than her own individuality till date. Her entire world revolves around her home and her family. She believes in being selfless, regardless of whether it’s rewarding or not … But that’s when the question arises- Will her loved ones support her in her new endeavor of contributing towards the family’s shared dream?

Rajshree Thakur said, “I’m excited to be making my return to Zee TV after 15 long years! This feels like a full-circle moment for me. What’s even more exciting is that I get to portray the role of a truly inspirational character like Avani. She’s a 42-year-old housewife from Kanpur, whose entire world revolves around her family and home. What I love about Avani is her selflessness—she gives everything for the people she loves, expecting nothing in return. It’s a role that resonates deeply with me, and I can’t wait for the audience to experience her journey of love, sacrifice, and quiet strength. There’s something so beautiful about what we are trying to say with the show – “Jo ghar sambhaal sakti hai, woh ghar chala bhi sakti hai. I’m eager to bring her to life on screen!”

Through Avani’s story, Bas Itna Sa Khwaab sends a powerful message: That housewives who juggle a hundred responsibilities with ease and flair within the four walls of the house can most certainly transcend the threshold, step into the big bad world and provide for the house – “Jo ghar sambhaal sakti hai, woh ghar chala bhi sakti hai”.

Produced by Zee Studios, Bas Itna Sa Khwaab will premiere soon, only on Zee TV!
