The actress spoke about the show’s storyline and her role, saying the project explores a different kind of family drama on Indian television.

She explained that the story focuses on the siblings’ struggles and their strong bond while navigating life without parental support. “We see their struggles, different types of parenting styles among them and their bonding. Then there’s the entry of Momita, who is a free spirited, lively, outspoken and strong charactered girl,” she said.
Describing Momita, Khushi added, “She’s a supporter of social causes, she takes a stand for what’s good and bad and believes she’s here to make a difference. She’s never afraid to voice her opinions, which is similar to how I am in real life.”
The actress also spoke about the contrast in Momita’s personality. “Although she comes from a life of privilege and loves her comforts, she is also a strong social activist. That’s something quirky about her.” She added that Momita is “funny, loving and lively, a very next door girl kind of character.”
Khushi also hinted at a romantic storyline in the show. “For Pawan and Momita, we will see a nice innocent understanding and a love story that develops as the two characters get to know each other.” The actress said the show offers a fresh concept compared to typical television dramas. “It’s not a conventional saas bahu drama and I’m glad we’re exploring such a concept after a long time on television.”
Reveals the show is inspired by Party of Five
She also noted that Indian television rarely explores this genre. “We haven’t made something like Friends for a long time on Indian television. People are used to seeing saas bahu shows everywhere.” Khushi further revealed that the series is inspired by the American show Party of Five. “It’s an adaptation of Party of Five, which is why it’s called Papa Kehte Hain. It’s rooted in Indian culture but we’ve tried to make it relatable and fun.”
She concluded by saying the show is designed for viewers of all ages. “It’s a show that will cater to the masses, including youth, parents and children. I hope people enjoy it as much as I love the concept. I’m very excited for it.”
