About Yeh Meri Family (Season 1) Web Series:
Yeh Meri Family is an Indian comedy-drama web series, created and directed by Sameer Saxena for The Viral Fever. The script was written by Saurabh Khanna, as his first writing project.
It stars Vishesh Bansal, Mona Singh, Akarsh Khurana, Ahan Nirban, Ruhi Khan, and Prasad Reddy, as members of the Gupta family and their acquaintances.
The creator of The Viral Fever, Arunabh Kumar stated the concept of making a family-drama series, as according to Arunabh, film and television shows had lacked a good concept of a family drama in the past 20 years, in which a story that everyone can relate to. He wanted to bring the dynamics of the quintessential Indian family, which was the main core concept of the show. It was set in the 1990s as Arunabh stated that the time period was very organic because “just like the family relationships, 90s had a certain innocence about them”.
While Biswapati Sarkar, who worked in TVF’s earlier projects was approached to write the script. The media’s co-director Sameer Saxena, suggested Saurabh Khanna’s name for the show. It was Saurabh’s maiden attempt in writing. Mona Singh was approached to play the role of Vishesh Bansal’s mother, while Akarsh Khurana made his acting debut with the series. Arunabh chose the background to be set in Jaipur as he found the city was neither too urban nor too rural. It’s a very appropriate representation of middle-class India, for which it gave the show a very suitable backdrop.
Arunabh also noted about directing with kids, as he stated “Before we went on floor, I was skeptical about shooting with the kids. I thought it would be very challenging. But to my surprise, all the kids were extremely hard-working and dedicated. They always used to come on set all prepared with the lines and that made the shoot a lot easier. Rehearsing with them during the pre-production stage also helped to prepare them well for the shoot. Saxena said that he was skeptical about shooting with the kids before the show went on the floor.”
The first season of the Yeh Meri Family, consisting of seven episodes, premiered on TVFPlay and YouTube on 12 July 2018; it has also been available on Amazon miniTV and Prime Video. The series received a positive response, with particular praise for its use of nostalgia and the performances of the cast.
