From Glam to Gram: Chinki-Minki Shine in “Chhoriyan Chali Gaon” & Test Their Mother’s Strength
Zee TV’s “Chhoriyan Chali Gaon” transforms city glam into village grit as Chinki-Minki embrace rural life with laughter, discipline, and resilience, while their mother quietly bears the emotional weight of their journey.

Zee TV’s new reality experiment “Chhoriyan Chali Gaon” has quickly captured the nation’s attention. Eleven female celebrities, accustomed to the shine of urban luxuries, are now thrown into the deep end of village life. No makeup mirrors, no designer coffee, no call sheets — just mud, cattle, and survival in its rawest form.
Among the star contestants are the identical twin sisters, Samriddhi Mehra and Surabhi Mehra, who the world fondly calls Chinki-Minki. Their arrival instantly brought a spark of youthful energy to the rustic setting, and with every task, the twins are rewriting what it means to adapt, endure, and shine.
Whether it’s milking cows at dawn, kneading rotis on clay chulhas, fetching water in heavy pots, or braving the long days of non-stop chores, the sisters dive into every challenge with remarkable enthusiasm. What could easily feel like punishment has instead turned into a stage where they display their discipline, coordination, and unbreakable bond as twins. Their ability to laugh even when exhausted, or cheer up fellow contestants when spirits are low, has made them beloved both inside the show and among viewers at home.
But beneath the playful banter and infectious smiles lies a deeper emotional layer. Their mother, watching from the sidelines, carries the weight of every struggle her daughters face. Each time the twins succeed in a daunting task, she swells with pride. Yet, every harsh word or dismissive remark aimed at them stings her heart. For her, seeing her daughters toil with such sincerity is both empowering and agonizing. She calls them her “perfect students” — always giving their full effort, always standing shoulder to shoulder. Still, she quietly absorbs the pain of their hardships, letting them grow through their own battles.
This silent strength adds another dimension to the narrative. While the twins showcase resilience in the village, their mother demonstrates a resilience of her own — the strength to let go, to let her daughters stumble, rise, and shine in their own right. In many ways, she is living her own test, proving that sometimes love is not about shielding but about allowing the storm to shape them.
For viewers, the journey of Chinki-Minki has become the heart of the show. They embody the essence of what “Chhoriyan Chali Gaon” aims to highlight — that grit, grace, and determination can outshine city lights. Their story is a reminder that glamour may fade, but the glow of humility, hard work, and family bonds never does.
As the show progresses, one thing is clear: the Mehra twins are not just contestants. They are symbols of twin power, resilience, and unfiltered humanity, carving a place in the audience’s hearts far beyond the television screen.
