Mumbai, Nov 1 (NationPress) Actor Kunaal Roy Kapur is preparing for his forthcoming streaming series ‘Thode Door Thode Paas’ and has expressed that in this era of information and technology, social media algorithms have effectively taken hold of the human psyche.
The recently released trailer provides a sneak peek into a contemporary family's daring social experiment as they store away their gadgets, transform their home with a nostalgic flair, and embark on a journey to reconnect with one another beyond digital screens. This playful family challenge quickly evolves into a whirlwind of withdrawal, chaos, and humor.
In the show, Kunaal Roy Kapur portrays Kunal Mehta and remarked, “The idea resonated with me immediately. Social media algorithms have genuinely infiltrated the human mind. We are all familiar with the experience of being glued to our devices, and this narrative captures that reality with both warmth and cleverness. It’s engaging, humorous, and poignant, without being didactic. Filming this series truly prompted me to reconsider my relationship with my phone! I can’t wait for viewers worldwide to enjoy it on ZEE5.”
As the narrative progresses, the OTT series whisks viewers back to a time when conversations were genuine, patience was innate, and family moments didn’t rely on Wi-Fi connectivity.
Discussing the show, Mona Singh, who plays Simran Mehta, stated, “This series is incredibly relevant to our daily experiences. We all have a tendency to reach for our phones instead of engaging in conversation. What I appreciate about ‘Thode Door Thode Paas’ is how it employs humor and sentiment to remind us that sometimes, disconnecting is the key to truly connecting. Collaborating with Pankaj ji and Kunaal felt like being part of a genuine family.”
Produced by Manish Trehan, Guneet Dogra, and Shreyas Kabadi, and directed by Ajay Bhuyan, the series features Pankaj Kapur, Ayesha Kaduskar, Sartaj Singh, and Gurpreet Saini in significant roles.
This series is set to debut on November 7, 2025, exclusively on ZEE5.
