Reha Sukheja, the "Jawan" actress, is quickly becoming a fan favorite on the new reality show "Chhoriyan Chali Gaon," which premiered on August 3, 2025. The show, hosted by Rannvijay Singha, features 11 urban female celebrities as they swap their city lives for the challenges of rural living. The contestants include Anita Hassanandani, Aishwarya Khare, Anjuum Faakih, Krishna Shroff, Dolly Javed, Erica Packard, Rameet Sandhu, Sumukhi Suresh, and twins Samriddhi and Surabhi Mehra.
Sukheja made a memorable television debut during the show's grand premiere. As the tallest contestant on the show, she immediately grabbed attention. The premiere included a task designed to test the contestants' balance and confidence, requiring them to walk through a series of door frames of varying heights while balancing a "matka" (traditional pot) on their heads.
Despite her height presenting a potential challenge, Sukheja aced the task with grace, strength, and adaptability. She maintained perfect balance and completed the task with poise, winning the hearts of viewers. Her ability to confidently navigate the task, despite the inherent difficulty, has resonated with the audience, contributing to her growing popularity.
"Chhoriyan Chali Gaon" challenges the contestants to embrace rural life, and the initial episodes have already showcased the adjustments and emotional moments experienced by the women. The contestants are residing in Bamuliya village near Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. Anita Hassanandani, for example, was moved to tears when a local grandmother asked her to stay and provide motherly love to a child.
The show airs on ZEE5, with new episodes revealing the celebrities undertaking various challenges in the village. A preview for the third episode shows the contestants learning how to milk buffaloes, highlighting the hands-on nature of the tasks they are undertaking. The show aims to challenge and transform the contestants by immersing them in a world vastly different from their accustomed urban lifestyles.
