Sunday to become a fun day with Raavi and Gurpreet
MUMBAI: Get ready to add some fun, spice and naughtiness to your life this Sunday. As a special treat for Raavi fans, Big Magic welcomes you into the innocent world of Raavi that is full of fun and excitement with Raavi Ka Ravivaar, a special 12-hour funfest.
Anchored by one of the most established and renowned stand-up comedians in the industry, Gurpreet aka Ghugghi, this special marathon will present the cutest moments of the series on 24 November, Sunday from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm.
In a short span, Raavi has managed to receive not just positive feedback but a lot of adulation from the viewers across HSMs. This marathon will highlight Amrita’s (Raavi’s mother) journey as a mother who takes a dramatic life decision to disguise her girl child as a boy. While Raavi’s true identity is under wraps, it initiates an extremely interesting cat and mouse game cleverly handled by little Raavi who plays dual roles dexterously.
Learning a few tricks from Raavi, Ghuggi will don four special avatars to present this marathon. Raavi will also be seen anchoring this marathon along with the comedian. The witty duo is set to enthrall the audience with 12-hour marathon story on Raavi and her world laced with humour and entertainment.
Gurpreet Ghugghi said: “This mischievous little Raavi is full of life. Taking a trip down memory lane with this cute kid was not just exciting but a whole lot of fun. Watch out for my special avatars this Sunday. I am sure the audiences will enjoy this marathon.”
“Anchoring a show is new to me but Ghuggi uncle (Gurpreet Ghuggi) made it easy. It’s exciting to revisit the episodes that I had so much fun working on. This Sunday I know what I will be watching on TV. Hope the viewers also enjoy watching this marathon!” quips Raavi. The series air every Monday-Friday at 7 pm only on Big Magic.
