"Meri Mrs. Chanchala" is an Indian situation comedy that revolves around the character of Mrs. Chanchala, a well-off and frequently bored housewife. She fixates on items or fads that catch her fancy, and indulges her whims. As a result, she is a constant source of irritation and frustration for her husband, Srikant. Mrs. Chanchala selects a new interest and strives for proficiency in that interest no matter how unrealistic. She reliably fails in attaining her goals, even though she never fails to upset her husband.
