As STAR One's primetime show Rang Badalti Odhani completes 100 episodes in a few days, some of the cast members share their memorable moments and experiences during the shoot.

Shaantanu:
Work experience: It is a superb feeling and it still feels like a dream that we have actually completed 100 episodes. Time flew by quickly and it didn't even come to me that we have completed century. It's a superb team of creative people and co-actors to work with and we had a gala time shooting for the show.

Memorable scene: Shooting for the show as a whole has been a memorable journey for me. The genre of the show is different from all other shows and it's a great experience shooting with both the protagonists. All the scenes are well-written and look beautiful on-screen. All the scenes with my on-screen father are my favourite. I will always remember the dream sequence where I have danced to popular song Saawariya in a towel. I take it as an experimental scene and I will never forget it.

Message to the audience: A big thank you to all my fans. I am very new to the industry and it's overwhelming to have received such a warm welcome. It feels proud and nice when fans write about and discuss the show and its actors. One such quote from a fan that I will never forget read "Dear Lord, please don't let Karan find his shirt ever again."

Khanak:
Work experience: It has been a fantabulous journey and work experience so far. It's always great and a learning experience to work with experienced and seasoned people. I get to learn so many things from them. We keep having fun and masti during the shoot and tease each other.

Memorable scene: During this particular sequence, I had to dive into water. I am really scared of water and I feel suffocated everytime I had go under water. It was a tough sequence for me and I had developed allergy too after shooting for it.

Memorable dialogue: I keep repeating this dialogue 'Hum Rajput hai hum paise nahi bair lete hai' (I am a Rajput. I don't take money but welcome enmity). I like it!

Memorable moment: It has to be once again under-water sequence. I was very very scared and Karan kept pulling my leg. He held me tightly and kept threatening to push me in the pool.

Message to the audience: I think I always owe an answer to my audience. I request them to post all their queries and feedbacks and I promise to keep in touch with them. Of course I want to thank them as well.

Natasha: Work experience: My shooting experience has been full of fun and I really look forward to the shoot for everyday. I really enjoy shooting with my co-actors Karan, Khushboo, Daksha and Khanak. We keep pulling each other's leg and to those uninitiated, Karan is a big prankster and keeps springing surprises at all of us. He keeps the atmosphere fresh and light on the sets. We have become like one huge family.

Memorable scene: We shot for a scene very recently which we did in jut one take. The sequence had Shaan announce his love for Khanak and Natasha overhears this. The scene was penned down by the creative team so beautifully that I didn't have to act at all. I was so engrossed that my eyes welled up as a result of it. The scene has been shot very beautifully.

Message to the audience: I want to thank them for loving me and watching the show. I have always tried to do something different in all the shows that I have been a part of, so far. It boosts your morale and encourages you to work harder when they acknowledge and appreciate you. I hope they keep supporting and loving me.

Khushbu:
Work experience: So far, so good. I love playing the vamp on the show. This is my first stint on Indian television till date. It's a young and fun-loving team and we have fun shooting for the show.

Memorable scene: My most memorable scene will be the dream sequence where I swap my character with Hetal baa and transform from a sophisticated and modern bahu to a villager. It was a dream sequence in literal terms as I had always wished hard for a chance to enact Hetal baa's character. I simply loved her character and used to emulate and imitate her in my own style. I was in awe of her and was simply waiting for this chance.

Memorable dialogue: There is this sleazy dialogue which I direct to Khanak. I tell her that "Khanak, tumne bedroom se bistar tak ka safar bahot jaldi tay kar liya". (Khanak, you crossed the distance between bedroom and its bed very soon)

Memorable moment: There was a sequence where we all were looking forward to the mehendi ceremony of my sister Natasha and her fianc Shaan returns from the village along with Khanak. We had to perform on various songs and the boy, who had to play the music, always missed the cue. So all the time I ended up singing and dancing all by myself. It was hilarious.

Message to the audience: I am not as bad as I appear to be on the show. Please love me and keep watching the show. (smiles)

Akshay:
Work experience: It has been an amazing experience shooting for the show as the entire cast and crew is very warm and hospitable. Being a novice to the world of acting, I have learned a lot from them.

Memorable scene: It has to be a recent scene where we had swapped our characters with the villagers and I had to emulate Mangal. It was great fun.

Memorable moment: My very first shot on the show which is also my very first shot infront of camera ever. It had all of us dining together and I propose Shaan to look after our business venture at Dhulwadi village.

Message to the audience: Keep watching the show and hopefully with your support we complete a mark of 1000 episodes, which only requires a zero to be added to the century.
