Khatron Ke Khiladi Fame Erika Packard to be part of Zee TV's Chhoriyan Chali Gaon

Zee TV’s upcoming reality show, now titled Chhoriyan Chali Gaon, is stepping into a fresh territory by bringing urban female celebrities into rural India.

The show’s format gives viewers an authentic rural immersion: contestants will cook on chulhas, milk cows, tend to farms, and engage in local rituals—all filmed on location in a real village in Madhya Pradesh. Amidst the challenges and charm of village life, the series will test their adaptability, resilience, and cultural sensitivity.

Produced by Banijay Asia, known for seamlessly adapting global formats for Indian audiences, Chhoriyan Chali Gaon promises a compelling mix of entertainment and authenticity. The production house will bring its signature storytelling flair and production values, ensuring both drama and cultural insight.

A notable addition to the confirmed lineup is Erika Packard, recognized for her stint on Khatron Ke Khiladi 12. A model-turned-celebrity, Erika was the first participant evicted from the Cape Town shoot. Her participation signals the show’s intent to feature personalities who embrace new experiences and audiences eager to see them take on rural life.

While the full contestant list remains under wraps, insiders suggest that a blend of influencers and television personalities will join Erika. They’ll be guided by host Rannvijay Singha, renowned for his engaging presence and knack for bringing out charm and spontaneity.

Although the premiere date hasn’t been announced yet, production is expected to begin soon, followed by a late-year launch. Fans can anticipate a heartfelt journey as city-born women discover village life’s simple rhythms, join communal celebrations, overcome unexpected challenges, and reveal real stories of transformation.

Chhoriyan Chali Gaon aims to be more than just another reality show—it’s a cultural journey. By highlighting city-village contrasts and celebrating resilience, respect, and learning, the show plans to entertain viewers and foster deeper appreciation for India’s rural roots. With a dynamic contestant lineup, authentic setting, and relatable cultural exchange, Zee TV hopes this new series will resonate with audiences seeking meaningful stories laced with the excitement of a reality show.
