Aishwarya Khare dedicates the song 'Tu Mera Humdard Hai' to co-contestant Erica Packard in Chhoriyan Chali Gaon
Chhoriyan Chali Gaon, rooted in the essence of Indian rural life, is entertaining the audience. Hosted by the ever-charismatic Rannvijay Singha, the show brings together 11 spirited women celebrities- Anita Hassanandani, Aishwarya Khare, Anjuum Faakih, Krishna Shroff, Dolly Javed, Erica Packard, Rameet Sandhu, Reha Sukheja, Sumukhi Suresh, and the popular twin duo Samriddhi and (Chinki-Minki) as they all swap their fast-paced city lives for the simplicity and challenges of gaon life. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now With no gadgets or urban comforts, the contestants are pushed to their limits as they adapt to milking cows, cooking on a chulha, and managing daily chores, all against the backdrop of raw, unpredictable gaon life. As the girls left their village homes to move to their new 'Basera,' their daily task was to entertain the villagers in a bid to be crowned Miss Bamuliya. They put together a soulful evening of music and laughter. Contestant Aishwarya Khare mesmerized everyone as she poured her heart into singing 'Tu Mera Humdard Hai' and dedicated it to her fellow chhori on the show, Erica Packard — leaving her in tears. Aishwarya shared that singing is in her blood, a heartfelt gift passed down from her father. Even Erica candidly expressed how she had unexpectedly formed a deep connection with Aishwarya. What began as just another task turned into a heartwarming celebration of togetherness. Overwhelmed by the feeling, Erica Packard said, "In the very first episode, I told Krishna, 'Ms. Bahu can never be my friend.' But look at me now, I genuinely love her. The qualities I've been trying to find in myself, her calmness, her compassion, that unhurried way of being, she has them all. And she, in turn, was looking for a bit of wildness and craziness, which is exactly what I brought into her life. We balanced each other out in the most unexpected way. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now " Chhoriyan Chali Gaon is not just transforming lives but also forging unexpected bonds, just like the growing sisterhood between Erica and Aishwarya. From strangers to soul sisters, their connection is a beautiful reminder that the strongest friendships often bloom where you least expect them.
