I am eagerly looking forward to starting shooting soon," she added. "One thing I can assure you, there is much more oomph, glamour, humour and fun in store."
"Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain!" revolves around two neighboring couples, the Mishras and the Tiwaris, where both husbands have a crush on the other man's wife.
