8 Years of Open Roads, Honest Banter, and Sibling Love: Celebrating TVF’s ‘Tripling’
Eight years ago, a simple road trip started by three estranged siblings changed the face of Indian web content. Launched on August 28, 2016, TVF Tripling brought us the chaotic, yet utterly relatable, dynamics of the Sharma siblings: the responsible but stressed elder brother, the middle sister juggling family life and ambition, and the free-spirited youngest brother.
As we mark the eight-year anniversary of its premiere, it’s a perfect time to reflect on why the journey of Chandan, Chanchal, and Chitvan continues to resonate with a cult following, proving that family, drama, and a stolen car can create magic.
The Genesis of a Cult Classic
In 2016, the Indian web series space was still in its nascent stages, and Tripling emerged as a benchmark of success. The show’s core concept was its novelty: a road trip undertaken by adult siblings who barely connect in their daily lives. The very first season, co-written by lead actor Sumeet Vyas (Chandan) and Akarsh Khurana, introduced a fresh take on family relationships, moving away from sanitised, idealised depictions.
The premise of the first five-episode season was simple yet profound: Chandan (Sumeet Vyas), recently divorced and jobless, meets his younger brother Chitvan (Amol Parashar), a debt-ridden DJ, which eventually leads them to their sister, Chanchal (Maanvi Gagroo), who is married into a royal family. Their initial destination was Manali, but the unplanned journey was the real story, forcing them to confront their issues, both personal and sibling-related, across the country.
Meet the Trio: Chandan, Chanchal, and Chitvan
The enduring charm of Tripling lies entirely in its pitch-perfect main characters, each of whom represents a distinct and deeply relatable sibling archetype.
Chandan Sharma: The ‘Bada Bhai’ Who Can’t Catch a Break
Played by Sumeet Vyas, Chandan is the eldest, burdened by the responsibility of being the “mature” one. His life is a series of well-intentioned plans that almost always backfire, whether it’s his failed marriage, his writing struggles in later seasons, or simply trying to maintain a semblance of control over his chaotic siblings. His journey is one of learning to let go, often begrudgingly, and accepting the messiness that is family.
Chanchal Sharma: The ‘Rani Sa’ with an Inner Rebel
Maanvi Gagroo’s portrayal of Chanchal is that of the quintessential middle child—the “cranky middle child” as some critics described her—who is constantly frustrated by her life and her brothers. Her status as a “Rani Sa” (royal wife) contrasts sharply with her desire for normalcy and the freedom her brothers enjoy. Her character arc explores the conflict between societal expectations and personal happiness, making her the grounding force and the emotional anchor of the trio.
Chitvan Sharma: The Soul of the Trip
Perhaps the most beloved character, Chitvan, portrayed by Amol Parashar, is the lovable, laid-back DJ whose catchphrase, “It’s beautiful, baba,” became an instant pop culture sensation. Chitvan embodies the free spirit, living life with an almost innocent, ‘no worries at all’ attitude. While often the comic relief, his character reveals a surprising emotional maturity and depth in later seasons, particularly in his personal relationships and handling of family crises.
The Evolution of the Journey
The success of the first season led to two subsequent seasons, which expanded the show’s scope beyond the road trip and deeper into familial relationships:
- Season 2 (2019): This season saw Chandan become a best-selling author from their first trip, but the siblings are thrown back together when Chanchal’s husband, Pranav, goes missing. This road trip takes them through Jaipur, Lucknow, Kolkata, and Sikkim, shifting the focus from self-discovery to a quest to help their sister.
- Season 3 (2022): The setting moves from the open road to the family home in Manali, and the central crisis is the most emotional one yet: the parents of the Sharma siblings deciding to get a divorce after 30 years of marriage. This season saw the trio transition from dealing with their own problems to confronting the fundamental breakdown of their family unit, showcasing a new level of maturity and vulnerability.
Why ‘Tripling’ is Still ‘Beautiful, Baba’
The series has managed to stay relevant for eight years because of its authentic depiction of sibling camaraderie. Their bond is marked by constant bickering, abuse, laughter, and an underlying, unconditional love that only family understands. The show’s strength lies in capturing the little details of an Indian family—the shared glances, the inside jokes, and the immediate willingness to drop everything when a true crisis hits.
As the series eyes a fourth season, the celebration is not just for a successful show, but for the unforgettable characters—Chandan, Chanchal, and Chitvan—who taught us that no matter how much you drift apart, a road trip with your siblings can always bring you back home.
