From widow remarriage, marital rape to a mother killing her own son, I don’t think any show has ever dealt with these topics. We would be called saas-bahu show in inverted commas. Honestly, as an audience, I also felt that the show was way ahead of its time, but the media, especially the English media, tagged us regressive. While watching the show, I realised I have been there and done it all. As actors, we sometimes see a project and hope to get a part or do some specific scenes. While doing the show, I think none of us had the time to watch television. Last year, a few clips emerged on YouTube, and that’s when I sat down to watch Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.

It also changed the way television was perceived. It created history and was a life-changing experience for all of us. I believe Kyunki was a show destined to happen with the right people meeting at the right time. Now when I think of it, if I had said no, I would have lost so much.
