Gaurav Kapoor Joins Shilpa Shetty For A New Reality Show “Maa Hai Na”! Are You Excited To Know More?

Reality television is no stranger to competition, drama, and celebrity appearances. But ZEE5’s “Maa Hai Na” is taking a different route by placing one of the most universal relationships at the centre of the story: the bond between mothers and their children. Hosted by actress and wellness entrepreneur Shilpa Shetty Kundra alongside popular host and presenter Gaurav Kapoor, the show blends cooking challenges, humour, emotional conversations, and family dynamics into a format that feels both entertaining and deeply relatable.

The series brings together Gen Z personalities and their mothers, creating a space where generational differences, parenting wisdom, and everyday misunderstandings unfold naturally in the kitchen. Rather than focusing purely on culinary skills, the show explores the relationships behind the recipes, making food a backdrop for conversations, laughter, and emotional moments.

Among the personalities appearing on the show are creator and entrepreneur Tanya Mittal alongside her mother Sunita Mittal, as well as reality star Manisha Rani, who joins the series with a family member. The cast also includes several familiar faces from television and digital entertainment, creating an interesting mix of personalities and family dynamics.

Gaurav Kapoor Adds Wit And Warmth To The “Maa Hai Na” Experience

Renowned for his humour, natural hosting capabilities, and rapport with people, Gaurav Kapoor provides the show with a distinct element. Having been a host for many programmes in a number of categories such as sports and entertainment, he has emerged as one of the most recognizable hosts in the country.

Having him as a part of the show together with Shilpa Shetty allows for both humour and affection to be present at once. The host helps the participants and viewers enjoy each other’s company through humour while allowing for those moments to be captured on screen.

This trait is especially important in the “Maa Hai Na” format because of the likelihood of the best moments coming from the discussions between parents and children.

“Maa Hai Na” Celebrates The Relationship Everyone Understands

One thing that makes the idea different from others is how easy people can relate to it.

Each family has had their share of arguments, unnecessary comments, emotional talks, and random bonding moments within the kitchen walls. “Maa Hai Na” draws inspiration from these everyday moments and makes entertainment out of them.

Moreover, people tend to look for shows that feel more personal and less manufactured nowadays. In this show, producers come together to share their stories, entertain, talk about emotions, and make everyone laugh.

Thanks to hosts Gaurav Kapoor and Shilpa Shetty, participants such as Tanya Mittal and Manisha Rani will be able to showcase their family life on television.

I’ve been passionately chronicling the worlds of entertainment and lifestyle for more than 10 years, which means I've spent roughly 3,650 days shuffling between drama and crippling deadlines (and usually, the deadlines win). There’s truly not a day I can imagine doing anything else. I just really love having an excuse to call reading celebrity/creator happenings "research."
