With the IPL season starting, SRK’s TV show "Ghar Ki Baat Hai" on Ndtv Imagine produced under the banner of Red Chillies Idiot Box, which started as a tri-weekly show ( Friday to Sunday) is going to be one hour weekly from 11th April. Every Saturday two new episodes will be telecast back to back.  Confirming the change director Anant Mahadevan says, “I always thought comedy should be weekly. Ghar Ki Baat Hai has found its own mark. The feedback for the show has been good and so are the reviews by tv critics who have called it an "absolute scream" and rated it among the best comedies on Indian television.  The director feels that the back to back telecast on NDTV Imagine would double the masti quotient for viewers who dont like to watch daily soaps and want to have a good laugh. Anant adds, "People even watch the repeat telecast and we have the best of talent in terms of actors who have amazing comic timing. Once a week  In case of  a Sitcom like “Ghar Ki Baat Hai” the  entire story is told within a stipulated time of 25 mins, airing of two episodes back to back every Saturday is a good idea". Anant calls the show as a comedy of manners and words rather than the comedy of slipping on the banana peel” genre of comedy.

The story revolves around the hilarious situations and events in the lives of the Yagnik family, a young couple, Rajdeep and Radhika Yagnik, living in Mumbai along with Radhika's unemployed brother Kapil Kumar aka Kaku. The constant one up situations between the brother’s in-law and the wife playing the bridge between them gives way to a comedy of errors. How these diametrically different people unite as a family, is the essence of 'Ghar ki Baat Hai.
