Happy Family: Conditions Apply: Trailer and Premise
Sharing the trailer, the makers explained the premise in a quirky manner and said, “Dholakias, a family of four generations living under one roof, navigate the many ups and downs of their lives together. To the world, Dholakias appear to be picture-perfect, but like most families they are dysfunctional; each one with their own unique quirks, quibbles and eccentricities. It is in these imperfections that they find the perfect bond that keeps them together.”
Happy Family: Conditions Apply: Message from the Makers
Talking about the show, Aatish and JD said, “The Dholakias are a loving-yet-eccentric family that mirrors all joint families and the many quirks that we see in them. Through Happy Family: Conditions Apply, the cast and the crew have all come together beautifully to bring our little vision to life.”
Sharing more about his character, veteran actor Raj Babbar said, “Comedy is not a genre I have often dabbled with. Happy Family: Conditions Apply is, in fact, my first out-and-out comedy, and that itself is what made me want to be a part of this series. The series has everything that can be found in any regular family. There’s drama, romance, fighting and making up, playfulness—all of which add to the hilarity of the series.”

“There is a certain joy in playing a character who is unabashedly herself. Hemlata Dholakia is a character who wears her heart on her sleeve, but is always ready with a sassy remark. She is unintentionally hilarious, honest to the point of being brash, but also fiercely protective of her family,” added actor Ratna Pathak Shah, about her role.
