Aamna Shariff & Nyrraa M Banerji approached for Zee TV's 'Goriyan Chale Gaon'

Zee TV is all set to experiment with a new genre in its reality content slate, with an upcoming show that blends celebrity glamour with rural grit. Titled Gori Chale Gaon, the reality series aims to showcase well-known female personalities adapting to life in an Indian village, far from the comfort and chaos of urban living.

India Forums has exclusively learned that actors Aamna Sharif and Nyrraa M Banerji have been approached to join the show's first season. A reliable source from the production shared: The makers are in discussions with Aamna and Nyrraa. They are looking at casting personalities who can resonate with the audience but also bring depth to the format. Both actors are under serious consideration.

The show’s core format revolves around celebrity women stepping into a rural environment where they are expected to live without modern luxuries—no phones, no stylists, and no staff. From cooking on traditional clay stoves to fetching water, tending cattle, and engaging in community work, the contestants will be challenged to adapt to the rhythm of rural life while forming bonds with locals and fellow participants.

Aamna Sharif, who rose to fame with shows like Kahiin To Hoga and Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2, has not previously participated in a non-fiction show, making her potential entry even more notable. Nyrraa M Banerji, known for her roles in both daily soaps and supernatural thrillers, has shown interest in exploring unscripted formats, and this show may mark that transition.

Set to be filmed in a real village setting in Madhya Pradesh, Gori Chale Gaon is backed by Banijay Asia, a production house known for blending global formats with Indian storytelling. While no official air date has been confirmed, the series is expected to go on floors soon, with a premiere likely later this year.
