Gautami on her first crossover episode

What is main motive of this crossover episode?

Generally during a festival two shows come together. However, this time around Parvati and the Agaarwal family help the Viranis in solving the mystery surrounding the death of Trupti for which Mihir has been sentenced to death. I wouldn't like to reveal more details. You should watch the show yourself.

Is this crossover to counter Smrit's entry in Teen Bahuraniyaan?

I don't want to comment on this.

Are you comfortable with crossover episodes?

Yes. They are great fun. You get an opportunity to mix with friends from other shows. With regards to a Balaji show, the bigger the star cast the better it is for us.

Kyunki's popularity among the urban viewer has declined. Your thoughts

Pardon… my mother-in-law is very well educated. She's been watching the show from ages. My relatives in UK too have been regular viewers of this show. Though, of late there have been many new serials leading to intense competition, we do have our loyal audiences and we hope they stick with us.

Finally… how is your throat now?

It's fine. I'm taking the necessary precautions.
