    "Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain!" is a popular Hindi sitcom that premiered in 2015 on And TV and is available on ZEE5.

The husbands, Vibhuti Narayan Mishra and Manmohan Tiwari are dissatisfied in their marriages and secretly admire each other's wives. Manmohan, a successful undergarment businessman, is married to Angoori, a simple and naive housewife. Vibhuti, an unemployed former insurance agent, is married to Anita, a confident and modern woman who runs grooming classes. Their constant scheming to impress each other's wives leads to comedic conflicts and chaotic situations, mostly taking place in their homes.
