Chiraiya: Shaadi Licence Nahi Hai

Chiraiya is an upcoming original drama series on JioHotstar, starring Divya Dutta and directed by Shashant Shah. The show boldly explores one of the most silenced and uncomfortable realities within many Indian households, the myth that marriage automatically equals lifelong consent.
The story begins with the seemingly joyful wedding of Pooja, who enters her new home filled with hope. But the facade quickly cracks: behind the celebrations lies a darker truth. The teaser reveals her alone, in distress, hinting at the show's central conflict, forced intimacy within marriage, and the painful silence that follows.
Chiraiya challenges the long‑held societal assumption that a wife’s silence means acceptance. The series aims to spark crucial conversations around marital consent, autonomy, and emotional suffering hidden behind closed doors.
The cast includes Divya Dutta, Sanjay Mishra, Siddharth Shaw, Prasanna Bisht, Faisal Rashid, Tinnu Anand, and Sarita Joshi.
