The Corona virus has confined every citizen to their respective homes. Amidst the lockdown by PM Narendra Modi, several iconic shows on Doordarshan have returned on television to everyone's delight, including Mahabharata, Ramayan, and Dekh Bhai Dekh.
On 1st April, Doordarshan National tweeted announcing that the extremely popular television show- Dekh Bhai Dekh was going to be available on television.
Urvashi Dholakia, who made her debut on small-screen with the show reminiscences of bygone days of shooting the show! Although Urvashi is delighted for the show to be aired again, the actress wishes it would have been remade keeping the same star cast intact. She also reveals how several trials and errors were done for the remake but nothing materialized.
Speaking of the rerun, Urvashi said, “I am excited that millennials will get to see such an iconic show which has been a trend-setter in the industry. It was the first show to be shot in a multi-cam setup. I am happy that all these shows are being telecast because today’s generation is getting to know how television was so good even at that time and has evolved. It was a huge production, with Jaya Ji producing it and Anand Mahendru directing it. I feel privileged that I was part of it.”
Juggling between school and shoot, Urvashi made her debut with the show when she was merely 15. “I used to finish school by 1-1:15 in the afternoon and then travel to R.K Studios in Chembur in my school uniform. The crew would wait patiently. The whole cast and crew were like one big family, off-screen also, I used to be the quiet one as I entered the show little late but they all were very welcoming towards me” shared Urvashi.
Dekh Bhai Dekh was created, developed, edited, directed by Aanand Mahendroo and produced by Jaya Bachchan under the banner of Saraswati Audio Visuals Pvt Ltd (now merged with Amitabh Bachchan Corporation).
It starred Shekhar Suman, Navin Nischol, Farida Jalal, Bhavana Balsavar, Deven Bhojani, Sushma Seth, Vishal Singh and Nattasha Singh.
