Tiwari is the "Angry Young Man" turned into a clown. Rohitashv Gour brings a unique physicality to the role. In Episode 1, his insecurity is palpable. He doesn't love his wife romantically, but he hates the idea of anyone else looking at her. This contradiction is set up perfectly here.
Though she has fewer lines than the men in the pilot, Anita is the brains. Saumya Tandon brings a regal charm to the character. She is not a damsel in distress; she is a woman who knows exactly how to manipulate both her husband and her neighbor to get what she wants (in this case, a good kettle). bhabhi ji ghar par hai episode 1

But the writing saved it by making the men colossal failures. You never root for Vibhuti to "get" Anita; you root for him to get caught. The show's genius was making the attempt the joke, not the woman. Report: Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai — Episode 1 2
