FINALLY! Aatish Kapadia opens up on how 'Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai Take 2' actually FARED

J D Majethia and Aatish Kapadia are happy people and must be rejoicing the fact that Khichdi has opened to such love and appreciation everywhere. The long wait ended last week, when the show was revived after a hiatus of 13 years, and the hype and expectations were totally justified.

But, as known, this is not the only revival that JD and Aatish enabled. The much-loved Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai made a comeback too last year, in the form of a sequel, Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai Take 2. The show, however, unlike Khichdi was not for TV, but for the web.

The only difference between the two shows has been how Khichdi has been the way it was without any leap, or characters aging; while Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai Take 2 practiced a 7 year leap and showed aged characters.

It will almost be a year since Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai Take 2 went live on Hotsar on 16th May 2017 and launched 10 episodes every week.

There, however, hasn't been much talk about the response on the web show, as one doesn't get the actual numbers. So, in a conversation with Aatish Kapadia, we asked him about the response to Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai Take 2.

To this, he said, "The response, genuinely was tremendous. We may think that the initial episodes would garner a lot of views, as they have the hype and surprise element. And that, if the audience doesn't like it, they don't watch the next episodes. For us, infact, it was the opposite, where Episodes 4-8 went on to become more watched than the first few. So, overall, we couldn't have been happier with the response to the show."

Let's hope, we get a Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai Take 3 soon.
