Jire khursani

"Jire Khursani" (Red Hot Chillies) is a popular Nepali TV show aired every Tuesday at 9pm NST on Nepal Television. It started in 2003 and has been continuously airing since. It is produced and directed by Jeetu Nepal and ShivaHari Paudel who are the main actors in the show as well. Jire Khursani basically portrays social problems suffered by everyday people with a comic punch. The show also features issues of polygamy where two wives of Shivahari Paudel live under the same roof with their children.

Jeetu Nepal plays "Mundré" (earring wearer) who says it with much pride that he is the first one in his entire family to have passed school. He wears a wool cap all year round and uses a lot of jewellery. His father Shiva Hari Paudel plays Asina Prasad (Mr. Hailstones) who has a habit of saying "Mukhaa Hannu jasto" (Hit you on your face) all the time. He has two wife out of which the latter one is referred to as Hati (Mrs. Elephant) who has a son who is a consummate eater. He eats all the time and when not fed breaks into a fit of sobs immediately.

Mundré has an uncle played by Kiran KC who has a habit of saying "Eh Rata Makai" (Bloody Ripe Corn) and "Hariya Kakra" (Green Cucumber) and is married to a rich Sherpa girl who merely uses him as an object of desire. Frustrated, the show takes crazy twists and revolves around a restless and noisy family.
