As we continue to experiment with newer non-fiction formats on the platform, the idea was to create a show that feels authentic to modern family dynamics while reminding audiences that no matter how much life changes, Maa Hai Na,” in a press note.
Producers Neeti and Preeti from Lil Frodo Productions House said, “The kitchen is often where the most honest conversations happen, and this show uses that space to explore the evolving dynamic between Gen Z and their mothers. Working with Shilpa Shetty Kundra as the host brought the perfect balance of warmth, relatability, and energy to the format.”
Describing the essence of the series, ZEE5 highlighted that the kitchen becomes far more than just a place to prepare food – it transforms into a space where memories, nostalgia, laughter, arguments, and heartfelt emotions naturally unfold. Heartwarming, funny and emotionally rich, Maa Hai Na is set to stream soon on Hindi ZEE5.
