Sony SAB’s mystery-comedy show Jijaji Chhat Parr Koii Hai never misses to entertain its audience with fun and spooky elements. Starring Hiba Nawab and Shubhashish Jha in the lead roles, the show has set an example for the exhilarating on-screen chemistry they share. Recently, Tannaz Irani entered the show to play a pivotal cameo of Nanhe and Jaldiram’s childhood friend who is now an expert in occult science. The upcoming episodes bring Tannaz back to the comedy genre, but this time with a spice of mystery to it. However, Tannaz is excited for one more reason – her reunion with Hiba Nawab after 13 years.

It is truly spoken that ‘When two people share a strong bond. No matter what happens, the universe will always find a way to bring them together.’ The same is the instance with Hiba Nawab and Tannaz Irani, who are now back together on-screen after 13 years of acting together for an earlier Sony SAB show Lo Ho Gayi Puja Is Ghar Ki.

Over these 13 years, both Tannaz and Hiba have amassed a lot of love from the fans for their supremely talented performances and with both reuniting after a long gap, the excitement has hit the roof.

Tannaz Irani, reminiscing about the memories with Hiba Nawab said, “13 years is a very long time, and it was so wonderful that Hiba remembered me. She was just 11 when I earlier worked with her and now, she is a beautiful grown-up lady. I didn’t recognize her at first because when I saw her the last time, she was very small and a cute girl. She reminded me about herself, and then we instantly bonded. I am very happy to see her grow up into a simple, nice, and straightforward girl. She is focused towards her work and is a cultured person. It was so sweet of her to remember the incidents when we used to spend time together in the make-up room and sets.” 

Hiba Nawab, excitedly talking about working with Tannaz said, “Working with Tannaz is such a delight and a fun experience because we first worked together 13 years back when I was a kid in my first show. Working with her in Jijaji Chhat Parr Koii Hai on Sony SAB is so exciting for me. She is a fun-loving, lively actor and always keeps on cracking jokes, making everyone laugh or telling a story. I really enjoy working with her a lot, it was all the same for me and we did catch-up from where we left, just like 13 years never happened.” 

Tannaz Irani on how Hiba Nawab is still a pampered kid on the set said, “Listening to her makes me feel old since 13 years is genuinely a very long time. It is so pleasing to hear her speak like a little child and the relationship that we have nurtured now is very comfortable. She is still like a cute kid on the set, pampered by everyone. I am really enjoying on the sets of Jijaji Chhat Parr Koii Hai as everyone is so friendly, and it is a peaceful and calm set with lots of senior and hardworking actors to work with.” 

Hiba added, “I think she hasn’t changed a bit; she even looks the same, forever young, and cheerful. She is very warm and has always been very welcoming, jolly, and bubbly which I like about her the most. I was always desired to be fit and healthy and she was one of the most fit actors I have ever met, I even got inspired by her healthy diets and the way she has maintained herself till date inspires me every day to do a lot better.”
