One name and one show that is common and admired in almost every Marathi household are Aadesh Bandekar and Home Minister. Yes, it is that popular. There is nothing fancy in it. There is no drama or showbiz in it. Then does it have a great star cast? – No. Then what makes it so unique? The answer is an outstanding host and the simplicity of the show. Yes, that’s the USP of this show.

 

Home Minister is a Marathi reality show hosted by Aadesh Bandekar. It is one of the most popular and longest-running shows across channels. Started with the intention of letting the housewives enjoy a few moments of happiness, won the hearts of its views, and completed its 15years. Host Aadesh Bandekar visits various homes and gets homemakers to participate in the games. The participants perform multiple tasks, and a winner among the housewives receives a prize money and Paithani saree (pride of Maharashtra). At the same time, the event becomes a cherished memory for the entire family.

 

Aadesh Bandekar is a Marathi actor, TV host, and Shiv Sena leader. His every smiling face, warmth, and sweetness in voice wins the heart of the viewers. He comes across as a Kaka (uncle), Bhauji (brother-in-law), Dada (elder brother) next door. No wonder, he is the favorite Bhaujiamong women of Maharashtra.

 

 

Due to lockdown, conducting an in-person show was not possible, but the favorite “bhauji” holding his lively and warm smile is back on the small screen. This time he is going to meet us virtually. Fresh episodes of the Marathi show Home Minister “Gharchyaghari,” hosted by Aadesh Bandekar, have started from June 8th, 2020, on ZEE5. However, the participants, friends, relatives, and host himself will be connected via video calls to shoot for the episodes from their homes. Since the participants will be playing the game from their homes, the title of the show is Home Minister Gharchyaghari, which initially was Home Minister “Swapna Gruh Lakshmiche” (dreams of home Goddess).

 

For the first episode, he connected with five families virtually. Those who have seen the previous seasons of Home Minister know that Aukshan (aarti-which is the traditional Maharashtrian way of welcoming guests) is the integral element of the show. So, they continued the same ritual by doing a virtual “aukshan”. Then Aadesh Bandekar digitally transferred the shagun. How cool!!

 

For the new season, fans are super excited, and this includes our Marathi celebs too. Mazhya Navryachi Bayko actor Abhijeet Khandkekar and wife Sukhada kickstarted the show with their promo video.

 

 

The fun part is in the upcoming fresh episodes; the viewers will get to see some of the most exciting tasks along with fun games with aims to test how the husbands lend their hands in the daily chores at home.

 

So, what are you waiting for? Go and subscribe to ZEE5. You can be one of the participants too. Not just this. You can access the entire ZEE5 content library on five screens simultaneously.
