Hum Paanch, the 1995 Indian sitcom, hit home with audiences because of its quirky and eccentric female characters. The show also launched Vidya Balan into the entertainment industry.
The show is about Anand Mathur, a middle-class man, his second wife Bina, his five daughters Meenakshi, Radhika, Kajal, Sweety and Chhoti and his dead wife (who speaks to Anand through her portrait that hangs in their living room).
