Whatever the new line-up, Balaji faithfuls are quite at home with the leap. "I would love to be associated with the serial till its end. It is the greatest thing that has happened to us," says Saklani. Her on-screen husband Amit Sarin seconds with "hum to yahin dam todenge".
The present set, anyway, looks desperate for a change. In between shots, the harried director screams for silence, a shout meant not for humans but the cows mooing nearby. "It is very difficult to save the tulsi ka ped, thanks to these munching creatures," says a spot boy, shooing them away. Then there are the stray dogs who have visitation rights and halt shoot every now and then - now and then being the time Shilpa 'Ganga' Saklani takes to feed them, saying "my heart goes out for these creatures" and "it's sad I can't keep them as pets as my mom-in-law hates them." |
