Bakaiti Season 2

Bakaiti, ZEE5's slice-of-life family comedy set in old Ghaziabad, returned for its second season on 25 September 2026. The first season, released on 1 August 2025, ran seven episodes. It won fans for its realistic look at a middle-class household that never stops arguing.

Story

Season two picks up about a year after the first. According to India TV's trailer report, an unexpected turn of events brings Ajay, Alka and Aman back to Kataria Kutir. Both Kataria families end up under one roof. What begins as a temporary arrangement soon causes friction, and a fresh money crisis adds to the strain.

ZEE5's own line for the season promises "bigger Bakaiti" as life gets messy and the Katarias realise that family comes first. Like the first season, the comedy comes from small daily battles over money, space and pride rather than big set pieces.

Where to watch

Who should watch

Fans of gentle family dramedies in the mould of Gullak will feel at home here. Tailang and Chaddha remain the anchor. Season two widens the household and adds a new antagonist in Abhijeet Chavan's Pushpendra Tyagi, so there is more chaos to work through.
