In most homes across the country, a homemaker’s contribution often goes unnoticed—her tireless efforts to save, nurture, and manage are seamlessly woven into the fabric of a family’s daily life, yet rarely accorded the recognition they deserve. Take Avani Trivedi, a housewife from Kanpur and the protagonist of Zee TV’s new show ‘Bas Itna Sa Khwaab’ for example. Her days are marked by constant sacrifices and an unwavering commitment to her family’s dreams. Every rupee she saves and every task she shoulders becomes her way of inching closer to their shared goal: that of moving into a lavish home they can truly call their own. Yet, despite all she does, Avani’s dedication is often taken for granted, as is the case with so many homemakers across India. Avani realizes her quiet sacrifices alone won’t bring their dream of a bigger home to life. Determined to contribute more actively, she decides to revive a talent she had set aside long ago—a skill that once defined her individuality but was buried under the weight of household responsibilities. With renewed resolve, she embraces her potential and steps into the world outside to ensure her family’s aspirations are fulfilled, proving that destiny is hers to shape.Bas Itna Sa Khwaab weaves a compelling narrative around Avani’s journey, delivering a heartfelt message: Women who manage their homes so beautifully can just as easily take on the world outside and succeed. “Jo ghar sambhaal sakti hai, woh ghar chala bhi sakti hai aur ghar bana bhi sakti hai” Produced by Zee Studios, Bas Itna Sa Khwaab is set to premiere on 3 rd December at 7 PM, only on Zee TV. The show took Kanpur by storm as lead stars – Rajashree Thakur and Yogendra Vikram Singh – who essay the roles of Avani and Shikhar respectively- arrived in the city and celebrated the often-overlooked contributions of women who straddle both their responsibilities at home with the demands of a work life. Rajashree, who has returned to Zee TV after 15 years, has received a lot of appreciation ever since the promos went on-air. Our Avani identified and felicitated some real-life ‘Avanis’ from the media fraternity, becoming their voice and saluting their unseen strength and countless sacrifices that these incredible women make day in, day out in both their personal and professional lives. To bring Avani’s inspiring story to life, Bas Itna Sa Khwaab immerses itself in Kanpur’s vibrant spirit, capturing the city’s essence through its iconic locales. From the tranquil Bithoor Ghat and scenic Moti Jheel to the lively charm of Phool Bagh and its towering water tank, every frame resonates with authenticity. The show’s journey includes Kanpur’s culinary hotspots like the legendary Thaggu Ke Laddu, Badnaam Kulfi, and Pehelwan Mathe Wala, adding layers of nostalgia and flavor. Even the bustling Maggi Point plays a role, weaving the city’s warmth into Avani’s tale.
