What to expect from ‘Chhoriyan Chali Gaon’ on ZEE TV
In a gesture of appreciation, several contestants extended support to the village families who hosted them during the show. Dolly Javed contributed ₹60,000 and a sewing machine to Kiran and her mother, Surbhi Mehra sponsored the education of Naman Naithik, Anita Hassanandani committed to funding Shaguna Bai’s grandchild’s education, Erika Packard pledged two years of schooling for Kiran Rathod’s son, and Krishna Shroff donated ₹1 lakh to support farming initiatives for Manish.
Speaking about her victory, Anita Hassanandani said, “When I agreed to be part of ‘Chhoriyan Chali Gaon’, I knew it would push me far out of my comfort zone, but I didn’t anticipate just how much I would grow through the experience. From day one, I kept telling myself I wanted to win this for Aaravv and Rohit; they have been my biggest motivation throughout. Every time I struggled or missed home, I thought of them and pushed myself harder. Today, holding this trophy feels surreal. It’s not just my win; it’s our win as a family. This journey has been raw, emotional, humbling and truly unforgettable; I’ll carry these lessons with me forever.”
