Your character in Kadvee Khatti Meethi is called Arjun but your grandmother (Rima) strangely refers to you as Poti!

That's because dadi always wanted a granddaughter. She was so upset when my mom gave birth to a son that she declared that she would call me Poti, whether the others liked it or not. And I don't mind it a bit. That makes me a favourite with dadi.

How would you describe Poti?

He fits into the Casanova mould and is a lovable brat. The rest of the guys are married and have their fair share of in-law problems. There is my dadi, my mum (Supriya Pilgaonkar) plus my bhabhi (Sucheta Pawshe). The three of them are constantly indulging in tu tu-main main, much to the chagrin of the guys including my dada, dad (Mahesh Thakur) and brother Karan (Ali Asgar).

On whose side is Poti then?

He is in neutral territory. Considering everyone else has a nagging spouse, I am the only one who is spared the ordeal. So in times of battle, all of them turn to me for support!

You have a scheming dadi, a confused mother and a clumsy bhabhi.

Whom does Poti bond with?

Poti bonds with whosoever needs support. As there is no woman in his life to influence him, he takes everybody's side.

How believable is the character of Poti?

Poti is a mama's boy and there are multitudes of those around! I am sure there are several households where the unmarried younger brother strives to maintain peace at home in his own humourous way.
