Vijayendra Kumeria: I'm going to surrender to Bappa for my career
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 14 (IANS) On the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi on Monday, actor Vijayendra Kumeria, who is currently seen in the show Juhi Mui, has opened up about his faith, his wishes from Lord Ganesha and how the festival has changed for him after becoming a familiar face in the small screen business. Vijayendra says he has never asked Bappa for one particular thing. For him, it has always been about the well-being of his family and having a good life. Vijayendra said: To be very honest, I have never asked any particular wish from Bappa. But yes, I have always said, do what is good for me and for my family. Give us good health and prosperity. That is always what I want or what I ask for. No specific things. He feels that Bappa has been really kind and he has always bestowed a lot of blessings on him and his family. What else does a person need? A good career, good health. So, Bappa has been kind enough to give me everything without asking. So, I don't want to burden him with requests and all because he has been very kind. I'll be very selfish if I'm still asking for things. This year, he wants to surrender his career-related worries to Bappa and believes that the right opportunities will come his way while the wrong ones will naturally stay away. He said: I will surrender to Bappa, saying that Bappa, see, I am your son, and whatever you feel is good for me, you do that. As far as career is concerned, he will take care of it, I am sure. He will bring opportunities that are good for me. He will stop opportunities that are not good for me. So I'm going to surrender to him for my career and ask him to give me a good thought process. Recalling those early days in Mumbai, Vijayendra shared, I remember when I was very new in Mumbai; that was the time when I, for the first time, experienced Ganpati Mahotsav, and there were some non-actor friends, people from different industries, who were my friends at that time. I do remember that things used to be very easy. You could go for darshan in the pandals, and during the visarjan we used to do it like all normal people around the city do. He added, But now it is a little difficult because people start recognising you, and you can't move very freely now, especially at the Pandals and during the visarjan. That's the only small change that has happened. Rest everything is fine. The actor says he still enjoys the season. These 11 days are so fun. The whole vibe of the city is different during these 11 days. But it's a little different from before. Not a vast difference, but yeah.

AQIS mounts digital push in India, seeks to rebuild operational capabilities
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 14 (IANS) The Al-Qaeda in the Sub-Continent (AQIS) has been gradually re-building its capabilities and is seeking to regain its lost glory. While on one hand it has been regrouping in Afghanistan, on the other it has increased its recruitment cum radicalisation drive in India. An official said that the Al-Qaeda which faced huge losses after its top leadership was wiped out, has been quietly building bases in Afghanistan. According to reports, the Al-Qaeda has, in the last three years built eight bases. These are serving as training camps, which also offer instructions in handling of weapons and explosives. Some of these camps are also offering training in Artificial Intelligence (AI), drone operations and encryption. An Intelligence Bureau official said these developments not only pose a direct security risk to India, but to Afghanistan as well. As the Al-Qaeda continued to rebuild its camps, the Islamic State, an arch rival also stepped up operations. The Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) which is currently backed by the ISI, would engage in a fierce battle with the Al-Qaeda and this is not good news for the region, the official added. Another official said that rebuilding on Afghan soil is one part of the problem. The other is that there has been a renewed push within India to recruit and radicalise as many youth as possible. The Al-Qaeda has been targeting states such as Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Kerala, the official said. Officials say that the AQIS was formed with the intention of targeting India. The outfit has shown a great deal of interest on the Kashmir issue and has tried setting up units over there. However, its biggest focus as of now is on Uttar Pradesh. When the AQIS was launched its operations were headed by Maulana Asim Sheikh Umar. He hailed from Sambhal in Uttar Pradesh and his right hand man Mohammad Usman also hails from the same state. Over the years, these linkages have helped the Al-Qaeda set up a network in states such as Uttar Pradesh. Initially it focussed only on digital activity. The brief for this network was to circulate content that called for an armed revolution or Jihad against the Indian government. Last week, the UP Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) arrested a 19-year-old alleged operative of the AQIS from Azamgarh. Mohammad Nabil is accused of circulating content that promotes Jihad. His brief was to connect with as many youth as possible and recruit them. He was focussing heavily on getting in touch with persons in Jammu and Kashmir, the UP ATS said. Officials say that it wants a strong operational base in Afghanistan, while in India it is planning a massive digital network that would focus on radicalisation, spreading disinformation and calling for Jihad against the Indian state. Counter-terrorism experts say that India already faces immense threats from the Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Tayiba. It is also dealing with terror groups such as the Harkat-ul-Jihadi Islami (HuJI) and Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT) that operate from Bangladesh. While the Islamic State has been spreading its ideology fast and wide in certain pockets of India, this rebuilding exercise by the AQIS poses a fresh challenge. The AQIS on the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks released a video of Osama Bin Ladens son, Hamza Bin Laden. This was a clear strategy to have a cult like figure at the helm as it would immensely help in recruitments, the experts also say. Officials say that the Al-Qaedas links with the Pakistan-sponsored terror groups are nothing new. The Mumbai 26/11 attacks, which were among one of the worst that the country has faced, had the blessings of the Al-Qaeda. Ilyas Kashmiri, the then head of the Al-Qaedas 313 Brigade had worked closely with David Headley and other Lashkar-e-Tayiba operatives to plan and execute this attack. The Lashkar-e-Tayiba could very well take the support of a renewed Al-Qaeda for attacks in Jammu and Kashmir. India is facing a challenge on the security front from various quarters and hence closely monitoring every small activity by these terror groups would be crucial for national security, an official said.

DRI seizes 362 tonnes of Pakistan-origin dry dates in transshipment crackdown
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 14 (IANS) The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has seized more than 362 metric tonnes of Pakistan-origin dry dates in a major crackdown on attempts to circumvent Indias prohibition on imports from Pakistan through third-country routing, the Ministry of Finance said on Monday. Acting on specific intelligence, DRI officers intercepted 13 containers carrying dry dates imported by a Mumbai-based firm at the Container Freight Station (CFS) Ambad in Nashik. The consignments had arrived in India from Jebel Ali in the UAE, while the import documents declared the UAE as the country of origin. Preliminary investigation by the agency revealed that the consignments were part of an allegedly orchestrated transshipment arrangement aimed at concealing the Pakistan-origin of the goods. According to the investigation, the dry dates were initially shipped from Karachi Port in Pakistan to Jebel Ali Port in the UAE in one set of containers aboard a vessel. At Jebel Ali, the goods were merely transshipped and transferred into another set of containers before being loaded onto a different vessel for onward transportation to India. The onward shipment was allegedly facilitated through entities operated by Pakistani nationals, according to the DRI. The seizure comes against the backdrop of the government's decision to prohibit the direct or indirect import or transit of goods originating in or exported from Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack. The prohibition on such imports and transit came into effect on May 2, 2025, through DGFT Notification No. 06/2025-26. The measure was introduced in the interest of national security and covers goods routed directly as well as indirectly through third countries. Under Operation Deep Manifest, the DRI has been working to identify and intercept Pakistan-origin goods that are allegedly being routed through third countries in an attempt to evade the import restrictions. The latest seizure highlights the agencys continued efforts to detect and dismantle networks allegedly involved in circumventing trade prohibitions through misdeclaration, transshipment and manipulation of import documentation. The DRI said such enforcement action is aimed at safeguarding national security while strengthening the integrity and transparency of Indias supply chains.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 14 (IANS) Popular television and film actress Indira Krishna has slammed Rohit Roys comment over the small screen medium and its actors as she said that forgotten people use such stunts. Slamming Rohit, Indira told IANS, The word 'dustbin' is terrible to use for a veteran actor who himself comes from this medium. Television has given many skilled actors work and a stage to perform so well. The actress, who made a mark in Hindi television with shows like Krishnaben Khakhrawala, Krishnadasi, Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, Saavi Ki Savaari, Dhruv Tara - Samay Sadi Se Pare, Durga - Atoot Prem Kahani, said: There are many popular directors who are doing films after directing some brilliant shows on television. Well, to each his own. This medium is my plate of food as well as my respect. So that's his view and he can stick to it. Indira added: Or should I say, it's a democratic view. Sometimes people who are forgotten use such stunts to stay relevant, so I guess this is one of those. Television has been, is, and will always be the biggest medium. It reaches every household and gives actors a daily connection with the audience that no other medium can. To demean it after being a part of it for years is disappointing. We should respect the medium that has made us, said the actress, who has worked in films such as Tere Naam, Animal, and will be seen in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana playing Lord Rama's mother Kaushalya. Indira's debut film was an Odia film, Suna Panjuri in 1995, alongside Sidhant Mohapatra. She played Puja, and the film turned out to be the musical hit of the year. She appeared in Trishakti and then appeared in the film Aaj Ka Ravan with Mithun Chakraborty. Later, she appeared in films like Tere Naam, Tathastu, Chatur Singh Two Star, and Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty. She appeared in the Marathi film Janiva, directed by her husband, Rajesh Ranshinage.

Kanimozhi meets INDIA bloc allies as DMK eyes broader coalition beyond BJP, Cong
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 14 (IANS) DMK parliamentary party leader Kanimozhi has initiated consultations with prominent regional leaders following the defeat of the Constitution Amendment Bill on delimitation and an increase in the number of Lok Sabha seats. As part of the outreach, Kanimozhi visited Shiv Sena(UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray at his Matoshree residence in Mumbais Bandra. Thackeray personally welcomed the DMK MP and honoured her with a ceremonial golden shawl. Shiv Sena(UBT) MPs Anil Desai and Milind Narvekar were also present during the meeting, which lasted nearly an hour. The leaders reportedly discussed the delimitation Bills defeat in Parliament, the Congress current approach towards the BJP and the future course of the INDIA bloc. The discussion also focused on the importance of regional and smaller parties within the Opposition alliance and the role they could play in addressing emerging political challenges. Particular attention was given to the possible impact of delimitation on southern states and the need for affected states and regional parties to coordinate their response. Following her meeting with Thackeray, Kanimozhi travelled to Delhi, where she held separate discussions with Nationalist Congress Party(SP) leader Sharad Pawar and his daughter and Lok Sabha member Supriya Sule. The meetings have triggered speculation that the DMK is exploring the possibility of bringing together regional parties that have differences with the Congress party. Such an initiative could eventually pave the way for the emergence of a third political formation at the national level, independent of both the BJP and the Congress. During her interaction with Thackeray, Kanimozhi reportedly discussed greater cooperation among state-based parties opposed to the delimitation proposals. The two leaders also exchanged views on the feasibility of creating a broader platform for regional forces. The DMK had stayed away from an anti-delimitation meeting convened in Chennai under the leadership of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, although the Congress participated in it. The episode highlighted differences among Opposition parties over the strategy to be adopted on the issue. Thackerays reported differences with Congress in Maharashtra have also added significance to Kanimozhis visit. Kanimozhi is expected to continue her outreach by meeting Punjab Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Bhagwant Mann, as well as Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav. The proposed meetings are being viewed as part of the DMKs attempt to assess support for a coordinated regional political platform.

He recalled cherished childhood memories of the festival with his late grandfather and legendary actor Amrish Puri. Speaking about his fondest childhood memory associated with Ganesh Chaturthi, Vardhaan shared with IANS, My fondest childhood memory of Ganesh Chaturthi is the beautiful tradition we started when we first brought Bappa home. My Dadu, my Dadi, parents, my sister Sachi, and my entire family would come together to make Bappas favourite food - modaks with our own hands. That tradition continues till today, and every year, Bappas arrival brings so much love, happiness, and celebration into our home. It feels like a beautiful blessing that we get to experience together as a family. Talking about how his family celebrates the festival, he added, During Ganpati, our entire family comes together from all over the world to celebrate Bappa. We bring the same Ganpati idol from our temple into our living room, celebrate Bappas birthday for two days with delicious Maharashtrian food and lots of modaks, and then lovingly take him back to our temple. For Visarjan, we bring an eco-friendly Ganpati made of coconut, because we truly believe that while celebrating Bappa, we must also take care of His most beautiful creation, our Mother Earth. What makes it special is that every year, Bappa brings us closer as a family and makes the celebration even more beautiful, he added. Vardhaan also spoke about the life lesson Bappa has given him, saying, One thing Ganpati Bappa teaches me is to trust His divine plan.

The icon took to his blog and wrote: .. and the work continues .. amidst all the festive excitement .. the invitation to visit the homes of the dear as they bring 'Ganpati' home .. to seek blessings .. and the anomalies of the interpretations of the writing on the Blogthat are beyond laughable Amid festive celebrations to visit homes welcoming Ganpati, the thespian reflected on the race to be first in the public domain, saying the rush for attention can sometimes come at the cost of reality.

Rulers pushing Maha into darkness; Lord Ganesha save us: Shiv Sena(UBT) in 'Saamana'
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 14 (IANS) Launching a scathing attack on the state government on the eve of Ganesh Chaturthi, Shiv Sena Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray on Monday sharply criticised the ruling Mahayuti government for Maharashtra's compounding socio-economic and political crisis. The Thackeray camp, in an editorial in the party's mouthpiece, 'Saamana', painted a grim picture of a state eset by inflation, systemic corruption, agricultural distress, and rising communal polarisation -- arguing that the current rulers themselves have become the single biggest vighna (obstacle) confronting Maharashtra and the nation. The editorial slammed the government for compounding public distress ahead of the festive season. Highlighting steep hikes in the prices of sugar, milk, CNG, domestic LPG, petrol, and diesel, the daily noted that while the common man's festive budget has been badly hit, devotees will still leave no stone unturned to welcome Lord Ganesha with devotion. The editorial highlighted the recent physical assault on Pune activist Vidyanand Bapat, who had voiced strong opposition to high-decibel DJ systems during public celebrations. Rather than addressing noise pollution, the ruling establishment branded the activist as an urban Naxal and an outsider, while the Chief Minister resorted to evasive stances instead of decisive action, it claimed. Pointing to the severe impact of El Nino, the Thackeray camp warned of a worsening drought across Maharashtra. With Kharif crops wilting in scorched fields and deficient rainfall casting a shadow over the upcoming Rabi season, rural livelihoods are in severe jeopardy while farmer suicides continue unabated. The editorial also criticised repeated examination paper leaks. Following scandals in NEET and TET, the leak of Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) papers forced the cancellation of exams. Dismissing the government's announced SIT probe and administrative reform claims as empty rhetoric, the editorial questioned who would answer for the shattered dreams of thousands of aspiring youths. Tracing the roots of Lokmanya Tilak's public Ganesh festival, the editorial lamented that its founding socio-political vision is being eroded by corporate takeover and cheap political posturing. The editorial further highlighted rising crimes against children, deteriorating roads claiming innocent lives daily, and the government's failure to enforce local Marathi language norms for non-native auto and taxi drivers. Concluding with a stark warning, the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena asserted that Maharashtra -- once a beacon of progressive ideas for the country -- has been rendered directionless and pushed into the shadows of religious extremism by power-drunk and fanatical rulers. Calling upon the public to recognise the true root of their hardship, the editorial closed with a direct plea to Lord Ganesha to bestow wisdom upon the populace and save the state.

UCC essential for unity, integrity, security of nation: Bengal Minister backs implementation
Digital Desk | Newtown, Sep 14 (IANS) West Bengal Minister Dilip Ghosh on Monday backed the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) across the country, saying the process should begin in the state and subsequently extend to others. Speaking to reporters, Ghosh said the UCC was necessary to strengthen the nation's unity, integrity and security. Absolutely, the Uniform Civil Code should be implemented in the country, starting with Bengal, our state, and then in other states. It is essential for the unity, integrity, and security of the nation, he said. His remarks came a day after Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said the UCC would be implemented in all 21 states governed by the BJP-led NDA before 2029. We introduced the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in several states. I am confident that we will implement the UCC in all 21 states governed by the BJP-led NDA before 2029, HM Shah said at a press conference in Mumbai. The UCC seeks to establish a common framework of personal laws governing matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance and adoption, irrespective of religious affiliation. Ghosh also commented on the West Bengal governments action against madrasas, saying institutions operating without the required permissions should not be allowed to function. Anything illegal, whether madrasas or restaurants, cannot operate outside the law without government permission. The government is scrutinising everything, and any unauthorised establishment will be closed. To operate, they must get government permission, he said. The remarks came after the state government issued closure notices to 252 madrasas as part of a review of Islamic educational institutions. Show-cause notices have also reportedly been issued to around 100 other madrasas during the first phase of the verification exercise. Reports suggest that most of the 252 institutions facing closure are associated with the Khariji sect. Among them, 44 are located in Malda, 37 in Uttar Dinajpur, 32 in South 24 Parganas, and 25 each in Nadia and Murshidabad. Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari had ordered a statewide survey in June to ascertain the number of recognised and unrecognised madrasas operating in West Bengal. Ghosh praised Indias hosting of the BRICS Summit and credited Prime Minister Narendra Modis leadership for elevating the countrys role on the global stage. The BRICS summit held in India reached a high level under Prime Minister Modis leadership. Indias hospitality charmed everyone, paving the way for a new world order in business and global politics, he said. Ghosh added that issues such as human security and financial security should remain among the key priorities.

Sensex, Nifty to remain closed on Ganesh Chaturthi
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 14 (IANS) The Indian stock markets are set to remain closed on Monday on account of the Ganesh Chaturthi festival. Both the NSE and BSE have declared September 14 a full trading holiday for Ganesh Chaturthi. Investors will not be able to buy or sell equities on either exchange during the regular trading session.

The evening session will remain open until 11:30 pm, or up to 11:55 pm. On the other hand, a settlement holiday does not necessarily halt trading. Instead, the clearing and settlement of eligible transactions are suspended for the day. Last week, the Indian equity benchmarks posted notable losses amid a sharp rise in crude oil and worries over global interest rates. Nifty declined 2.09 per cent during the week and shed 0.34 per cent on the last trading day to reach 23,398. At close, Sensex was down 120 points, or 0.16 per cent, at 74,781. It lost 2.27 per cent during the week. Analysts said that global macro developments weighed on investor sentiments.

The sell-off was broad-based, with major sectors ending lower during the week. Nifty realty emerged as the biggest loser on NSE down 6.54 per cent on a weekly basis. The Nifty IT index shed around 5.78 per cent during the week. The Indian equities saw sharp volatility due to the newly launched closing auction session, particularly on derivatives expiry days.

Kunickaa Sadanand says artists are treated stepmother-like: There are extra hours but no extra money
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 14 (IANS) Actress and CINTAA member Kunickaa Sadanand has raised the issue of long working hours in the entertainment industry, pointing out that artistes often do not receive additional payment when shoots extend beyond their scheduled hours. There are long working hours. It shifts from 10-12 hours. And if there are extra hours, then there is no extra money, she told IANS. Kunickaa compared the situation with technicians, saying at least they are compensated when they work an additional shift. So the body of a technician, whether it's a light man, a sound man or whatever, they get their money. If there is an extra shift, they get paid. Somehow, artists are treated stepmother-like, she said. She stressed that the disparity needs to be addressed and artistes should also be compensated when they are required to work beyond their agreed hours. Her comments come amid the recent CINTAA elections, which saw actress Upasana Singh victorious. She had earlier also questioned CINTAA members Poonam Dhillon and Padmini Kolhapure's decision to continue holding their positions in the association, despite fresh CINTAA elections being conducted. She said that an association position should be about serving artistes and not holding on to power. Speaking exclusively to IANS on the sidelines of the CINTAA elections, Kunickaa spoke about the ongoing dispute and why Poonam and Padmini were seemingly still not letting go of their position. She initially said the question should be directed at them. I don't know, you will have to ask them, she said. Speaking about her own long association with CINTAA and what members expect from the body, she questioned the purpose of holding on to a position. I have been a member for so long, I have already been in the committee once. Very early. I met Dara Singh. You came there to give service, but it looks like an ego issue now, what else could it be? she said.

When Aishwarya Rai spoke about choosing to live with her parents as successful woman
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 14 (IANS) Actress Aishwarya Rai once spoke about her choice of living with her parents despite being an extremely successful woman, a concept which is alien to American culture. An old clip from one of the actress old international interactions has resurfaced on the Internet, and it shows her defending her choice while also being curious about the American cultural practice of kids moving out of their parents house at a young age. She said, I wouldn't understand why, but that's probably because that's the way of life there. Would that generally be so? Would that be like everybody has to or does move out? Is there like a social rule?. When she was told that a 30-year-old woman in America who has her own career and is making good money will not be living at home, she said, By virtue of my job, I'm traveling out. You get to spend very little time with your family. We hardly get to meet each other, except in the one odd day we really get to spend time, have dinner together. And that's rare, and we cherish it. When she was asked, Do you consider yourself an independent woman?, she said, Yes, yes. And I don't see any reason why moving away from your family is a statement of independence. Aishwarya Rai is one of Indias most celebrated actresses and global beauty icons. She rose to international prominence after winning the Miss World title in 1994. She made her acting debut with the Tamil film Iruvar and went on to establish herself. Her performances earned critical acclaim, while her appearances at the Cannes Film Festival strengthened her international profile.

Ganeshotsav: Sharad Kelkar reveals what he loves most about the festival
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 14 (IANS) Actor Sharad Kelkar, who plays Aryavardhan in the television show Tumm Se Tumm Tak, has spoken up on the immeasurable cultural value of Ganeshotsav. The actor revealed what he loves the most as the entertainment capital soaks in the Ganpati celebrations. Talking about the same, he told IANS, Mumbai during Ganesh Chaturthi is something else altogether. The energy on the streets, the beautifully decorated pandals and the enthusiasm of people coming out to celebrate make the city feel completely different. What I particularly enjoy is seeing people from different walks of life come together with the same excitement and devotion. He further mentioned, There is a wonderful sense of collective celebration around Bappas arrival, and that is something I think makes Ganesh Chaturthi truly unique. Ganeshotsav holds a unique place in Mumbais cultural identity, transforming the city into a vibrant celebration of faith, art, music and community. While the festival has deep religious roots, its public form in Mumbai gained particular prominence during the late 19th century, when Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak encouraged large community celebrations as a way of bringing people together. Today, Ganeshotsav transcends social and economic boundaries, with neighbourhoods, housing societies and famous public mandals coming together to welcome Lord Ganesha. Elaborate idols, artistic decorations, devotional music, cultural programmes and processions create a distinctive festive atmosphere across the city. Meanwhile, talking about Tumm Se Tumm Tak, the show follows Anu Sharma, a 20-year-old middle-class girl from Chandni Chowk, Delhi, and Aryavardhan (played Dolly Chawla), a 46-year-old successful industrialist heading the Vardhan Group of Industries. Anu's father works at a local store that sells Rajnandini Sarees, a brand owned by Aryavardhans company. Tumm Se Tumm Tak airs on Zee TV.
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 13 (IANS) Actor Sumeet Raghavan, who is receiving a lot of positive response to his work in the recently released show Chumbak, shared an anecdote from one of the episodes of the iconic sitcom Sarabhai vs Sarabhai. The actor recently spoke with IANS along with Sandeepa Dhar, Sumeet Vyas, Deven Bhojani, Neena Gupta and Manasi Parekh during the promotions of the show in the BKC area of Mumbai. The episode in question Teen pair wala kutta showcased his character getting drunk with the character of Satish Shah and Rajesh Kumar as he takes off on a hilariously serious rant under the influence of alcohol. Talking about the same, he told IANS, There are a lot of anecdotes. Satish Kaka (Satish Shah) is not with us today. But whenever Sarabhai vs Sarabhai is mentioned, we remember his character in the show. So in that episode, especially in this scene, it was absolutely fantastic. There was a line, insurance is honest. Something to that effect, it was fully improvised, it was incredible. Sarabhai vs Sarabhai is one of Indian televisions most beloved sitcoms, celebrated for its intelligent humour, eccentric characters and sharp observations about class and family dynamics. Created by JD Majethia and Aatish Kapadia, the show premiered in 2004 and revolved around the affluent Sarabhai family living in Mumbai. At its centre was the hilarious relationship between sophisticated, upper-class matriarch Maya Sarabhai and her middle-class daughter-in-law Monisha, whose frugal habits constantly irritated Maya. Ratna Pathak Shah, Rupali Ganguly, Satish Shah, Sumeet Raghavan and Rajesh Kumar formed the memorable ensemble. Unlike many Indian sitcoms, the series relied heavily on situational comedy, witty dialogue and character-driven humour rather than exaggerated slapstick. Its cult following grew substantially after its original run, particularly through television reruns and online streaming.
