Ragini Khanna, who plays Suhana in the show, is elated about the success of the show. "The show is unique and brilliant," she says. "I'm so glad that the show has completed 200 episodes and I'm looking forward to more. I should hope that the show completes 1,000 episodes," she laughs.
Ragini adds that playing Suhana comes naturally to her. "I thought that shooting would be hectic, but now I look forward to going to work and hanging out with everyone," she adds.
Jai Soni, who plays Ishaan on the show also expressed happiness at the show completing 200 episodes. "For me, this show is special. I've won the best actor at the recently concluded award ceremony. I would like to thank STAR Plus and Ravi Ojha for the support and faith they have showed in all of us," he says.
The show has won the hearts of the audiences because of the simple way in which family ties are conveyed through love. There hasn't been any vindictiveness and there is no villain as such on the show, unlike other shows we see on television. "It's unique because of this very fact," says Supriya Pilgaonkar, who plays Badi Ma. "It's been a challenge for me because people are used to seeing me do comedy roles. What I love most about the show is the way the message of love is conveyed. It makes everyone feel happy," she adds.
Bhairavi Raichura, who plays Rajini on the show, also expressed her excitement for the show's success. "200 episodes is a huge milestone. I'm very excited and hope that audiences continue watching our family and loving the show," she exclaimed.
