Speaking about the show, Kaveri Das, chief channel officer, &TV and business head, Hindi ZEE5, said, “No matter how independent or fast-paced our lives become, there are certain relationships that continue to ground us, and the bond we share with our mothers is one of them. At Hindi ZEE5, we wanted to create a format that reflects this emotion through a lens that feels fresh, entertaining, and deeply relatable for younger audiences today.”

She added, “Maa Hai Na brings together the energy, humour, and everyday chaos of Gen Zs with the warmth, instincts, and life lessons that only a mother can bring. As we continue to experiment with newer non-fiction formats on the platform, the idea was to create a show that feels authentic to modern family dynamics while reminding audiences that no matter how much life changes, Maa Hai Na.”

Described as heartwarming, funny and emotionally rich, โMaa Hai Naโ is set to stream soon on Hindi ZEE5.
