Oh wow I didn't even realize inke officially 1000 epis ho bhi gaye😆
This is such a good clip of their celebration....genuine sense of warmth in the production/creative/cast/crew team👏.....ek ek insaan ko saamne se bulaa kar love and respect diya - not for dikhaava.....and they all genuinely seem to have love and regard for each other.
Siddharth Tewary seems like a better producer than show offs like Rajan Shahi, Gul, EK etc.....really liked how he spoke for everyone in the team and recapped their whole journey 👏

Some of the notable bits in this:
a) ST baar baar teasing Malika that she abandoned them for a year before finally coming on board as Radha😆
b) ST recapping the story of how they started the show with a pilot they shot for 50 days but then scrapped it and then nothing was shot for almost two years....they lost a lot of money there but somehow the show still got revived....in large thanks to channel ka support - he mentioned some Niyati lady who he said has been with SB since its inception and has now come back to the channel (I wonder if this lady has something to do with the channel being revamped into love stories wala channel too....lol)
The way he appreciated each director of the show - mujhe bhi naam yaad ho gaye😆....some guy called Abdul who told him while shooting the pilot only that it's not shaping up per your vision so you better show up here to monitor things in person😆....and Loknath Pandey I think is the guy they keep calling Loku sir who apparently is very good at pakdoing the emotion of a scene and keeps that air of positivity on sets. He also appreciated the production team a lot ki agar production sahi na ho toh creatives bhi kuch nahin kar sakte.
c) His portion with Nitin Gupta who is the main creative head of the show I think - I've seen his tweets on Twitter sometimes always talking about their goals of finishing 500 epis, 600 epis and now finally 1000 epis😆.....waise toh bas chalaane ko chalaa rahe hain ab show but I felt for them when this guy got emotional for the support ST has given him to run the show....apparently he's been with Swastik since it's inception as a PH. Even bas chalaane ke liye chalaane waale show ke standards se they are pretty decent👍🏼.
d) Shivya saying that the one episode she's done in RK has given her more in he career than all the other work combined....and it's so true na....that opening epi of RK is a masterpiece indeed.....she mentioned how even now when she goes to meet PHs or creatives, they all quote back lines from that epi to her and it's helped her even earn more as an artiste by establishing her.
e) Himanshu talking about how he never thought he'd get a role with Swastik again cuz apparently he goofed up way back while working with them and even now he gets nervous shooting his scene if ST is around....lol.....he called the first episode a painting brought to life and he said they realized that when they saw the final product onscreen.
f) Tarun Khanna (who plays Shivji) seems like a very emotional man....lol senti ho gaya while talking about working with ST and how much he has given him
g) Kans wala actor asking ST ki kabhi toh hero ka role bhi de do mujhe😆 (this guy played Duryodhan in the SB Mahabharat)
h) Basant (who plays Dau) talking about the bond between the cast and his love for Sumedh and Malika.
i) Malika saying 50-80% of whatever she's learnt to act is all thanks to Sumedh....and also appreciating people from the production a lot ki otherwise she keeps fighting with them but she has a lot of love in her heart for them😆
Maine is show ka tag kabhi kabhi visit kiya hai and fangirls would faltu mein do tamasha there about whether Sumedh-Malika get along or not but yahaan they seemed pretty chill and fine - everyone getting along like a family and genuinely seeming to have love/regard for each other without showing off with put on bhaashans like certain *cough* people like to in certain Sunday shows😆
All in all you truly get the sense of collective pride and gratefulness they are all feeling in creating and growing this show to this level.
I really wish Hulu waale would upload the whole show....sigh...sab puraane epis udaa diye which were actually the good ones....oh well.
*Edit: Have to add that it's quite notable ki yahaan 1000 epis baad bhi un logon ki respect and value hai who only were there in epi 1 jabki certain other people have no value for the folks who were there for 300 epis in a show....yehi farak hota hai class ka😛
