Helly Shah is all set to charm audiences once again as she headlines Netflix’s upcoming romantic comedy series Chumbak. The show was officially announced at Netflix Day, where Helly, along with co-star Arjun Bijlani and the rest of the cast, unveiled the series through a fun and engaging skit that instantly set the tone for the rom-com.
Known for her intense and emotionally driven performances, Helly Shah’s foray into a light-hearted romantic comedy has already sparked excitement among fans. In Chumbak, she will be seen opposite Arjun Bijlani, making for a fresh and highly anticipated on-screen pairing. True to its title which translates to “magnet” the series revolves around unexpected attractions, witty banter, and the push-and-pull of modern relationships of a neighbourhood.
What further elevates the excitement around Chumbak is the creative force behind it. The series is helmed by JD Majethia and Aatish Kapadia, the celebrated makers behind some of Indian television’s most iconic comedy sagas, including Khichdi and Sarabhai vs Sarabhai. Known for their sharp writing, layered humour, and timeless characters, the duo has redefined situational comedy in India. Their association with Chumbak sets high expectations for a show that blends intelligent humour with heartfelt storytelling.
Sharing her excitement about the project, Helly said, “Chumbak is very, very special to me. Firstly, because it’s with JD sir and Aatish sir, with whom I did my first-ever show as a lead 14 years back. And secondly, it’s with Netflix something that I have been manifesting for so long, and now it’s finally happened.”
She further added that the show has challenged her in completely new ways as an actor. “I can say that this is one of the most difficult and different projects for me till date. It’s comedy, and people will see me in a completely different avatar. Playing this character has brought out a very different side of me, and I’ve gotten to explore so much under the guidance of Aatish sir. I couldn’t be more grateful.”
Helly’s effortless screen presence and comic timing stood out, hinting at a role that blends romance, relatability, and charm. Talking about the team behind the show, Helly shared, “I feel we have one of the best ensembles, and we all have a blast while making this show, which makes it even more wholesome.” She also noted how refreshing it feels to be part of a project like Chumbak, saying, “It’s very refreshing that we’re coming up with something so fun and light-hearted at a time when such shows aren’t being made as much.”
Chumbak marks an important milestone in Helly Shah’s digital journey as she continues to explore diverse genres and platforms. With JD Majethia and Aatish Kapadia bringing their signature comedic brilliance to the series, the rom-com promises a fresh, contemporary take on love, relationships, and the quirks that bring two people together.
As anticipation builds, Chumbak is poised to be a delightful addition as it brings Helly Shah in a refreshing new light and draws viewers into a world where love works in mysterious, magnetic ways.
