In early 1990s Lonpur, Bengal, the show revolves around Shekhar Home, portrayed by Kay Kay Menon, a quirky genius who teams up with bachelor JayvratSahni, played by Ranvir Shorey, to solve mysteries in East India. Together, they tackle cases from blackmail to supernatural events, utilizing Shekhar’s intellect to unveil surprises amidst criminals hiding in plain sight. The series combines suspense with humor, promising a thrilling tale of friendship, love, betrayal, crime, conspiracy, and exciting adventures.
Talking about his role, Kay Kay Menon said, “Shekhar’s character took me back to the good old days. I re-lived the memories of the time when social media was not even a thing. After reading the script and analysing this role, I was drawn to the complexity of unravelling mysteries. The series isn’t just about solving crimes—it’s also about exploring human nature in all its aspects- from love and loyalty to betrayal and deceit. Playing Shekhar was a pure delight. I’m excited to bring Shekhar to all of you.”
Rasika Dugal commented, “Working on ‘Shekhar Home’ has been a fun journey. It was a delight to collaborate with talented actors like Kay Kay Menon and Ranvir Shorey. And to be directed by Rohan Sippy. My character, Iraboty, is a force to reckon with—a strong, determined woman driven by the quest for justice. She has a compelling journey and the dynamic between Shekhar and Iraboty adds a layer of intrigue. Their bond, evolving through shared challenges and discoveries, gives a glimpse of a partnership that goes beyond solving the case.”
KirtiKulhari said, “Shekhar Home is one of those rare scripts that grab hold of you from the very first read—you instantly know you must be a part of it. It seamlessly blends mystery with humour, creating a narrative that resonates across a wide spectrum of audiences. From the moment I stepped onto the set, I knew this was going to be a special journey, and my character is an interesting one. The series is a testament to the brilliant writing and the seamless direction that allowed us to create a series that is as entertaining as it is thought-provoking.”
