Nikita Rawal Set to Star Alongside Shilpa Shetty in ZEE5's 'Maa Hai Naa'

Actress Nikita Rawal is joining Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty on the upcoming comedy-cooking reality show Maa Hai Naa, set to premiere June 12, 2026, exclusively on ZEE5.

The show, which centers on motherhood through the lens of food and family entertainment, will feature celebrity guests, culinary challenges, and emotional storytelling. Rawal's addition to the cast has drawn early attention from fans, who anticipate her signature warmth and screen presence will complement the show's lighthearted format.

"For Nikita, the show represents an opportunity to connect with audiences on a deeper level," a source close to the production said.

Rawal, known for her versatility across varied projects, steps into a format that blends humor with heartfelt narratives — a departure from her previous work that industry observers say reflects her growing range as a performer.

Shetty, long associated with wellness, nutrition, and family values, is expected to anchor the show's tone, while Rawal's energy is anticipated to inject fresh momentum into the series. The pairing is already being billed as one of the season's more compelling on-screen dynamics.

Maa Hai Naa arrives amid growing competition in the streaming reality space, with ZEE5 positioning the show as a flagship offering for the summer slate. The series promises a mix of laughter, emotional family moments, and a celebration of everyday mothers.

The premiere is scheduled for June 12, 2026, on ZEE5.
