Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hain, the iconic Indian comedy that made Vibhuti Narayan Mishra and Angoori Bhabhi household names, is all set to end its run on &TV. And yes — the news is as bittersweet as it sounds.
Lead actor Aasif Sheikh, who has played the hilariously scheming Vibhuti since day one, has now officially confirmed the development. According to him, the show is migrating to ZEE5, the digital streaming platform — not shutting down completely.

What’s Actually Happening — The Full Picture at a Glance
| Detail | Update |
|---|---|
| Show Name | Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hain (Season 2) |
| Original Channel | &TV |
| On-Air Since | 2015 (11 years) |
| Current Status | Moving to ZEE5 OTT |

The shift isn’t entirely a surprise. Reports suggest that &TV is winding down original content production entirely and is expected to transition into a paid rerun channel from May 2026 — meaning no new shows, just old episodes on loop.
Aasif Sheikh Speaks: “We Were Informed a Month Back”
Sheikh told media that the cast and crew were given advance notice about the platform transition. He further shared his take on the digital shift — pointing out that today’s audience is always on the move, and OTT makes their favourite shows far more accessible on mobile screens at their own convenience.
It’s a pragmatic, even optimistic way to look at it. And honestly? He’s not wrong. Streaming platforms have fundamentally changed how India consumes entertainment, especially long-running daily soaps.
Why This Hurts So Much
The show, which began in 2015, survived cast changes, controversies, and a full-scale revamp — including the return of Shilpa Shinde as Angoori Bhabhi in Season 2, which brought millions of nostalgic fans back to their screens. The duo of Rohitash Gour (Manmohan Tiwari) and Aasif Sheikh has remained the beating heart of the show throughout.

What This Means for &TV
This decision signals a broader industry shift — linear TV channels are increasingly finding it difficult to compete with the on-demand, ad-free convenience of OTT platforms. Bhabhi Ji’s departure is less an ending and more a reflection of where Indian entertainment is headed.
