Actor-producer Richa Chadha has unveiled the first look of her upcoming non-fiction series Musafiri, marking a significant new chapter in her career. Known for backing unconventional stories as both an actor and producer, Richa is now stepping into the world of documentary-style storytelling with a project that is deeply personal.
Describing Musafiri as her “love letter to Mumbai,” the actress says the series is a heartfelt tribute to the city that shaped both her personal life and professional journey.
What Is Musafiri About?
Unlike conventional travel shows, Musafiri is a culture-driven non-fiction series that celebrates India’s rich heritage, diverse communities and untold stories.
The first season will feature eight episodes, each exploring different facets of Mumbai—its people, history, traditions, neighbourhoods and vibrant culture.
Rather than focusing solely on famous landmarks, the series promises to uncover lesser-known stories that reflect the soul of the city, offering viewers a fresh perspective on India’s financial capital.

Calling the city her “karmabhoomi,” she said it has given her opportunities, shaped her career and continues to inspire her creatively. She also praised Mumbai for being relatively safe for women, adding that the city holds a special place in her heart.
Describing Musafiri as her humble tribute, Richa said the series encourages audiences to slow down, observe their surroundings and discover something new in every episode.
While the first season focuses entirely on Mumbai, she confirmed that future seasons will travel across India, highlighting hidden destinations, living traditions, local communities and stories that deserve wider recognition.
