Producer’s perspective
Sahana Dutta, producer and curator of the show, said Jilipi is a unique character who brings both mischief and affection to the story. “She is seven years old, but in her mind, she is the unquestioned ‘boro thakrun’ of the house. She genuinely believes it is her job to look after everyone, and that is where so many funny situations arise from. The story is as much about family and belonging as it is about a ghost,” Dutta said.

The series will be available to viewers on Sony AATH and Sony LIV starting November 23, 2026.
