“Chhath Puja is one of the most celebrated festivals in the region with people turning up in millions. It has been our conscious effort to helm events which bind the region together. This year we wanted to highlight the evergreen appeal and deep faith in Chhathi Maayi by showcasing its reverence across generations. Thus we celebrated the event by getting 3 generations of Bhojpuri celebrities together on Chatth celebration. With Jai Chhathi Mai, we have created a legacy in the form of an event which not only aims to celebrate the festival with our viewers but forms a personal connection with them. It always feels special to receive such a remarkable response from our viewers and we look forward to creating more such events and properties which will bring us even closer to our audience”.

Backed by the insight that religion and festivities rule the hearts and pulse of audiences, the special offering was crafted to ensure an entertaining package with an excellent appeal. Catch all the action of 'Jai Chhathi Mai' only on BIG Ganga on November 2 at 5:30 PM.
