The web series features Lubna Salim as Mrs. Lovely Bhalla, Rajesh Kumar as Mr. Bhalla, Linesh Mattoo as son Sahil Bhalla, Gracie Goswami as daughter Lisa aka Arundhati Bhalla and Gaurav Singh as the brother of Mrs. Bhalla. Gera will be seen.
Due to the lockdown, Mrs. Bhalla is scheduled to have family video calls on her calendar every day, as she is multi-tasking. From cooking, cleaning and discussing with relatives to forcing the family to be a part of the online Satsang, the Bhalla family has a new topic to talk and talk about every time.
