Neena Gupta and Deven Bhojani
Neena Gupta and Deven Bhojani are among the most prominently featured members of the ensemble in Netflix’s date campaign. The announcement presents the show as a story about five families rather than a single lead household, so it does not assign either actor a specific family position or character name yet.
Arjun Bijlani, Sumeet Vyas and Sumeet Raghavan
Arjun Bijlani, Sumeet Vyas and Sumeet Raghavan are confirmed members of the principal cast. They appear within the broader Chumbak Colony group, but Netflix has not disclosed which households they belong to or how their characters are connected.
Helly Shah, Manasi Parekh, Sandeepa Dhar and Amyra Dastur
Helly Shah, Manasi Parekh, Sandeepa Dhar and Amyra Dastur are part of the announced multi-generational ensemble. The series is expected to explore marriage, parenting, friendship and community life, but the current campaign does not attach any one of those themes to a named character. Their exact roles therefore remain unannounced.
Anant V. Joshi, Delnaaz Irani and Atul Kumar
Anant V. Joshi, Delnaaz Irani and Atul Kumar complete the principal lineup named by Netflix. Netflix has not published character names or household connections for Joshi, Irani or Kumar.
Why are the character names still missing?
The first campaign focuses on the colony as one large family and introduces the cast as a shared ensemble. Netflix has confirmed who is in the series but has kept the five household structures, relationships and individual character names under wraps. That means billing order, framing in the announcement video and social-media tags cannot be used to guess roles.
Who made Chumbak?
Aatish Kapadia is the writer, director and co-producer. JD Majethia is the producer and showrunner. Their new comedy is built around five neighbouring families whose lives overlap through celebrations, crises, advice, gossip and everyday interruptions.
