Itti Si Khushi

The programme presents an Indian adaptation of the acclaimed international series ‘Shameless’, transposing its premise to a local setting. It follows Anvita, the oldest sister, as she cares for her five siblings while their father battles alcoholism, navigating daily hardships.

The show is an Indian re‑creation of the internationally recognised series Shameless. Classified as a generic programme and formatted as an episode, it transports the original premise into an Indian setting. This adaptation retains the core concept while presenting it through a locally‑oriented lens for its audience. The central narrative follows Anvita, the eldest of six children, who steps into the role of caretaker for her five younger siblings. With their father unable to provide stability due to his struggle with alcoholism, Anvita assumes responsibility for the household, managing daily needs and looking after the family in his stead. The production is presented as a single episode within the generic programme framework, mirroring the episodic structure of its source material. By situating the story in an Indian context, the series aligns cultural specifics with the familiar family‑centric storyline, allowing viewers to recognise the parallels while observing the particularities of the setting. Through Anvita’s stewardship, the episode depicts the everyday realities faced by a family coping with an alcoholic parent. It highlights the shift of parental duties onto the oldest child and illustrates how the siblings depend on her guidance. The storyline remains focused on these domestic responsibilities without introducing external plot elements. It remains confined to the family environment.
