Shararat – thoda jaadu, thodi nazaakat (Hindi: शरारत – थोडा जादू, थोड़ी नज़ाकत; translation: Mischief – a little magic, a little finesse) was an Indian fantasy-sitcom, originally broadcast on Star Plus channel. Over the years, it has reaired on many channels, namely STAR Utsav, TV Asia, and Disney Channel India. Shararat is loosely similar to the American show Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. The show became very popular and by the second season premiere the show got ratings of 7.9 Million.
The Show ended in Late August 2005 with 4 seasons but in some reruns the fourth season was split in half making 5 seasons. The show ended because of too many episodes were made and the creators thought an ending was needed. In September 2008 a new version of Shararat was to be made but in March 2012 it was announced the show would not return because Shruti Seth was busy working on The Suite Life of Karan and Kabir.

Shararat is a fictional magical comedy story that revolves around Jiya Malhotra, who is the great great great grand daughter of Rani Devi. Jiya becomes the wielder of supernatural powers on her 18th birthday.
Suraj Malhotra (), her mother Radha (, later ), her brother Jai and her maternal grandmother Sushma (). Apart from this, there are Jiya's college friends and acquaintances such as the stud basketball player Dhruv () - on whom Jiya secretly has a crush. Dhruv returns her ardor, while Parminder () (or Pam, as she yells at everybody to call her), the latest NRI entry in the college, threatens Jiya that she will grab all of Dhruv's attention; Meeta, her starry-eyed and romantic best friend and Raja, Dhruv's best friend who is always irritated with Meeta running after him. Pam is also the niece of Shanti Saberwal () - the classic neighbour of Malhotra's - who is convinced that everything is not normal with the Malhotra household and who always goes there to borrow something or the other. Shanti has a son named Bittu who sometimes teases Jia's brother Jai. The Malhotra home with three fairies who use, or rather misuse, their magic nearly always ends up in some trouble.
Suraj, who learnt on his wedding day that not only his wife, but also his mother-in-law is a fairy, has to deal with his mother-in-law who insists that her daughter and grand daughter practice magic for almost everything. Midway through the series, Bebo, a 10-year-old fairy, is sent to live with the Malhotra family as she is causing mischief everywhere in Paristan, the world of fairies. Normally, a fairy cannot use her magical powers until her 18th birthday, at which Rani Devi sprays a few drops of magical potion on the fairy, thereby releasing all her magical powers. However, Bebo accidentally fell in the entire pot of potion, and that's why she can do magic when other underage fairies cannot. In season 4, the Malhotras move into a new house, which is haunted by four stupid but paranoid ghosts: Colonel Pritam Singh, who used to attend Sushma's college and has a crush on her since then; his son Amar Prem (), whose life ambition has been to get 1000 customers to make life insurance with him; Amar's wife Pritika (), who wants to become a vamp (an antagonistic actress in soap operas); and their son Nidar, who has developed a crush on Jiya. The ghost family had died whilst holidaying in the Malhotra house, and hate the family as they do not want humans to stay at the house, which they now call theirs.
