Dua, who is also credited as the writer along with Akshay Asthana, Nidhi Bisht, Mayank Pandey, Nikhil Sachan and Saurabh Khanna, said ‘Home Shanti’ is a family drama that takes a close look at the emotional journey a family makes while building their dream home.
"It is a breezy, uplifting and humorous drama that will make the viewer fall in love with the Joshis and root for them till the last brick has been laid. I feel incredibly grateful for Supriya Pathak and Manoj Pahwa, who brought their wondrous synergy to the drama. Their on-screen chemistry pulled at my heartstrings and I am sure they will cast the same spell on the audience," Dua added.
