The over representation and hegemony of the so-called upper-caste/class from Mumbai & Pune that’s usually seen in the mainstream Marathi film and television industry is almost negligible.

Inclusivity and Diversity in the Show: The performing artists come from various socio-economic-lingual backgrounds in Maharashtra.

And there are some strong reasons for that:

The initial conclusion many ‘woke’ viewers would come to is that it’s a quality entertainment show and has been a healthy part of viewers’ lives. These were the same factors based on which I wasn’t keen on watching CHYD until very recently, but when I started watching the latest season, I realised that there is no comparison between these two shows. The show makes a good attempt at showcasing the lingual and cultural diversity of Maharastra – Marathwada, Vidarbh, Konkan, Northern and Western Maharashtra, etc.,-one of the major reasons why many Maharashtrian people find it relatable. The performing artists come from various socio-economic-lingual backgrounds in Maharashtra. The very initial impression of the show might remind viewers of Kapil Sharma’s show because Nilesh Sable too, opens the episodes in a similar manner, invites artists for the promotion of their upcoming movie/series, and the show contains cross-dressing too.
