Forever, you have seen bahus on Indian television step into the Sasural and bring in a sense of harmony and warmth into their new family, we have been accustomed to viewing the lady of the house as the soothing salve meant to heal wounds and bind people together. Zee TV’s latest primetime offering ‘Jamai Raja’ breaks the convention and asks - If bahus have done it all along, why can’t the jamai? Adding yet another feather to his cap, the versatile actor, Akshay Kumar makes his foray in to the world of daily soaps, with Jamai Raja. This new venture will be the first television project under Grazing Goat Pictures - his joint production company with Ashwini Yardi. The duo is co-producing the show with Sagar Pictures. Starring Ravi Dubey and Nia Sharma, the show boasts of an interesting ensemble cast that includes Achint Kaur playing the sophisticated South Mumbai mother-in-law and Apara Mehta, Delnaaz Irani and Shruti Ulfat playing significant roles.

Ashwini Yardi, producer says, “I have some extremely fond memories from my stint at Zee TV. I will always cherish the team I was a part of and the projects I’ve worked on. Since my years at Zee have laid the foundation for the career I have built, when it came to my own first television production venture, I knew it had to be Zee TV. Jamai Raja is set against an interesting urban canvas, a progressive premise and has strong, well-defined protagonists. We have worked extremely hard towards getting the casting perfect and pushed the envelope as far as production values are concerned. I believe we have a great product in hand, we look forward to the audience response!”'

The show is set against the swish backdrop of South Mumbai’s upscale Cuffe Parade. The story captures how Siddharth, despite being a jet-setting hotelier with a growing empire to tend to, takes it upon himself to repair the estranged relationship between his wife Roshni and mother-in law Durga Devi (DD). The story captures how Ravi Dubey’s character Siddharth, despite being a jet-setting hotelier with a growing empire to tend to, takes it upon himself to repair the estranged relationship between his wife and mother-in law. Clearly a man on the mission, he is willing to go to great lengths in doing so. Will he succeed in his endeavour of bringing them closer emotionally? Wait and watch... ‘Jamai Raja’ goes on air from 4th August, every Monday to Friday at 8:30 pm only on Zee TV.
