More about Bakaiti

In a statement, Rajesh said that Bakaiti is a lively story, almost like a memory from his own past. "Sanjay reminded me of so many fathers—silent providers, emotional anchors, and sometimes accidental comedians. There’s beauty in the everyday, and this series captures it with so much heart. I feel grateful to reunite with Sheeba ji and work with a team that values nuance, humour, and the tender messiness of family life," he shared.

On the other hand, Sheeba said that the Kataria family reflects the unspoken love, daily struggles, and silent strength that define many Indian families.
