From Anita Hassanandani to Dolly Javed: List of confirmed contestants for Chhoriyan Chali Gaon

Zee TV is set to launch a new reality series titled Chhoriyan Chali Gaon, where 11 women from the fields of entertainment, digital media, and fashion will trade their urban lifestyles for the simplicity and struggles of rural India. Stepping far outside their familiar environments, these women will live in a village setup, take on daily chores, and adapt to a life with minimal modern comforts.

The show will follow their journey as they engage in hands-on tasks rooted in village life—everything from drawing water and cooking on firewood to managing livestock and community work. It’s not just about surviving without their usual luxuries, but about adjusting to a completely new rhythm of life. Emotions will run high, friendships will be tested, and rivalries may emerge, all while these women attempt to thrive in an environment that challenges them physically and emotionally.

From completing traditional rural tasks to participating in team-based competitions, each episode will bring new hurdles. But more than just a reality show, Chhoriyan Chali Gaon aims to offer an authentic glimpse into India’s village culture—through the eyes of women who’ve never lived it.

The final line-up features a mix of TV personalities, digital influencers, and fashion figures—each bringing their own flair, background, and perspective to the table. The series promises not just entertainment but also personal growth, as the contestants discover hidden strengths, form unexpected bonds, and explore a side of India many have only seen on screen.
