Get real with Rannvijay

For host Rannvijay Singha, Zee TV’s new reality show Chhoriyan Chali Gaon resonates on a deeply personal level. Born into a generation that still experienced the joys of village life first hand, Rannvijay fondly recalls spending every summer vacation at his native home in Punjab. From pumping water at the hand-pump and fetching milk cans from the cowshed to running through open fields barefoot, those early experiences shaped his understanding of hard work, humility, and family bonds.

In today’s urban world, Rannvijay feels children rarely experience rural life, a life rooted in simplicity, manual effort, and shared values. As a father, Rannvijay hopes Chhoriyan Chali Gaon serves as a meaningful window for his own children and the younger generation to witness the beauty of real India.

“Growing up, some of my most cherished memories are from our village,” Rannvijay shares. “Every vacation, I’d visit my grandparents, and those days had a charm of their own. With Chhoriyan Chali Gaon, I want today’s generation, even my kids, to experience and get a glimpse of the real India, where people live simply, yet peacefully. I want my kids to know that life too—the slower, grounded one that teaches you to value every drop of water, every grain

of food.”
