Slice of life drama Ghar Wapsi premieres on Disney Hotstar on July 22



When all things are lost and unknown, there’s only one place that feels right - ‘Ghar.

Ghar Waapsi is the story of Shekhar Dwivedi, a 28-year-old junior product manager from Indore who became a part of the startup bubble in Bangalore. Becoming a  part of the startup bubble in Bangalore earned him respect and love, not just from his family but also from the entire town.

Life fares him well and makes him earn promotions, bigger pay cheques, and EMIs. But this growth takes a turn for the worse and forces him to head back to his hometown, where he discovers the trials and joys of moving around with his parents after living an independent life in the Indian Silicon Valley. In his journey back home, he finds the charm of slow living and the true happiness that comes from home, family and friendship. 

Presented by Disney+ Hotstar and Dice Media,Ghar Waapsi., a short 6-episode Hotstar Specials, is a millennial tale of the trials and joys of reconnecting with family and friends.

Directed by two-time National award-winning director and writer Ruchir Arun, it stars Vishal Vashishtha, Akanksha Thakur, Atul Srivastava, Vibha Chibber, Saad Bilgrami, and Anushka Kaushik. 

The show marks Disney+ Hotstar’s first association with Dice Media.

Ashwin Suresh served as the showrunner in the series.

Written by Tatsat Pandey and Bharat MisraGhar Waapsi  follows the members of the Dwivedi family as they deal with life’s trepidations. The light-hearted family drama based in Indore, shows a middle-class family of five coming together as they each learn something about life, relationships and aspirations from each other, presenting a joyous journey of healing and finding direction.

Speaking about the series, actor Atul Srivastava, who assays a key role in the show,  said, “While playing a father in Disney+ Hotstar’s Ghar Waapsi, I surprisingly felt like a millennial. You keep hearing this generation talk about taking a break, pursuing hobbies, and not giving in to pressure, and my character Mr. Dwivedi does all that despite being a father to three children. It is a character that makes you slow down and appreciate life.
Grateful to the writers of the show for creating such a heart-warming role that brings out a different flavour of fatherhood on screen. Can’t wait to see how the audience reacts to the show.”

Talking about the  show, Actor Vishal Vashishth said, “I am extremely excited about my role in Ghar Waapsi. It seems like a simple character on the surface, but the simple roles are the most challenging. Working with veteran actors like Atul Srivastava and Vibha Chibber for this Disney+ Hotstar show helped me discover a lot about my art. Working with Dice Media has always been a great experience. Hoping the tale of the character connects with the audience.”

 Commenting on the same, Ashwin Suresh, Showrunner on Ghar Waapsi said, "We’ve always been known to create real and relatable shows at Dice Media. This time we wanted to explore a close-knit family setting in a non-urban milieu and their moments of joy and strife. A premise which originated after the pandemic - what happens if you lose your job and move back home to live with your family after a gap of a few years? A premise which found resonance in our circles as well as with the folks at Disney+ Hotstar. This show is the product of a wonderful team effort, which we’re excited to share with the world. We hope we can inspire a few of those stuck in the rat race or caught up with the trappings of a ‘well settled’ job, to pause, and to ponder -
