Panchayat Season 5: 5 Fascinating Facts About The Real Village Behind Phulera
photoDetails english 2933828 The hit web series Panchayat has captured hearts across the country with its authentic portrayal of rural India. With Season 5 officially announced, fans are once again turning their attention to the village of 'Phulera'. But did you know the real Phulera isn't quite what it seems on screen? Here are five interesting facts about the actual shooting location behind the beloved show. Updated:Jul 18, 2025, 08:08 PM IST Phulera Is Not in Uttar Pradesh 1 / 6 While the show depicts Phulera as a village in Uttar Pradesh, Panchayat was actually filmed in Mahodiya, a small village in the Sehore district of Madhya Pradesh. A Real Phulera Exists - But Not This One 2 / 6 There is indeed a village named Phulera in Rajasthan, located near Jaipur and known for being a major railway junction. However, the series has no connection to this Phulera. The Panchayat Office Is Actually Pink 3 / 6 In real life, the Panchayat office in Mahodiya is painted pink. For the shoot, the production team temporarily repaints it yellow, reverting it back to pink after filming wraps up. The Rent? Just Rs 500 a Day! 4 / 6 According to Times of India, the production team rented the real Gram Panchayat office of Mahodiya village for just Rs 500 per day during filming. Some Parts Are Pure Fiction: Handpump, Memorial Library 5 / 6 Several key elements in the show were added just for the storyline. The memorial library dedicated to village martyr Rahul Pandey, featured in Season 3, doesn't actually exist. Likewise, the handpump frequently used by Sachiv Ji was a prop, installed solely for filming and later removed. Meet the Real-Life Sachiv Ji 6 / 6 The real-life Sachiv of Mahodiya village is Harish Joshi, a postgraduate in commerce. Much like the character Abhishek Tripathi, Harish Joshi also attempted to clear law entrance exams but couldn't crack them eventually leading him to pursue the post of Gram Sachiv instead.

Panchayat 4: Sanvikaa on Rinki confessing love to Sachiv Ji, says ‘makers are slow, Rinki is tez'; Jitendra Kumar calls his character ‘an idiot when it comes to love'
Ever since Panchayat Season 4 streamed on Prime Video, social media is wondering 'what if Banrakas learns about Rinki and Sachiv Ji's new love?' While season 4 was hardcore politics, it also showed some lighter moments between Rinki and Sachiv Ji. Very subtly, the makers convinced their viewers that they have both expressed their love for each other on WhatsApp. While all this is on-screen, actress Sanvikaa Pooja Singh believes the makers are extremely slow. 'For the kind of person Rinki is, I believe she will directly confess her feelings to Sachiv Ji. I don't think she will follow the slow pace. Humarein makers bade slow hai, par Rinki tez hai (Our makers are extremely slow, but Rinki is quick),' she told Red FM India. Justifying her love for Sachiv Ji, Rinki shared, 'If a man is taking so many punches for you, it's obvious you will develop some feelings towards them. In the interview, Rinki aka Sanvikaa shared that while Sachiv Ji is guiding Rinki to prepare for MBA on-screen, off-screen Jitendra Kumar has been helping her with acting. ALSO READ | Zeenat Aman says 'Rajesh Khanna was always late, would decide when to come and when to shoot': 'Amitabh Bachchan was extremely professional' 'When we go on stage to rehearse, things get extremely easy when your co-actors are like Jeetu. I really think that Jeetu has made my journey extremely easy. I really thank him from the bottom of my heart. I was very nervous in season 2, but the way in which Jeetu supported me… we don't speak a lot off-screen, but sometimes even two lines of support work wonders for newcomers (like me).' In the same interview, Sachiv Ji aka Jitendra Kumar was given a situation: 'How would Sachiv Ji propose to Rinki in Mumbai's monsoon?' To this, the actor replied, 'If you have to express your love in Mumbai during monsoon, I don't think there is a better place than Marine Drive.' His answer, however, didn't impress Sanvikaa. Showing her disagreement, the actress quickly said, 'You need to have some greenery around you. You need to step outside Mumbai to express love.' This prompted the interviewer to say, 'It seems only Rinki can give you a lecture on love.' To this, Jitendra shared, 'Sachiv Ji iss maamle mein thode budbak hai. (Sachiv Ji is an idiot when it comes to love).' Panchayat Season 4 opened to mixed review. But, the blossoming love between Sachiv Ji-Rinki, Bhushan's strong opposition, Binod's powerful transition and Vidhayak's carefree dance have become the highlights of the show. Soon after streaming the fourth season, the makers of the show also announced a fifth season which will most likely release in 2026.
