Due
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic
and
21-day
nationwide
lockdown,
leading
entertainment
channels
have
had
to
put
their
shows
on
hold.
As
a
result,
Star
Bharat
recently
surprised
fans
with
the
re-broadcast
of
the
iconic
sitcom
Sarabhai
vs
Sarabhai
from
April
6
onwards.
The
cast
and
makers
of
Sarabhai
recently
got
together
(on
a
video
call
with
a
few
media
personal)
to
share
their
excitement
as
they
show
turned
to
TV.
Leading
Lady
Ratna
Pathak
Shah
aka
Maya
Sarabhai
spoke
about
her
experience
shooting
for
the
cult
classic
whilst
confessing
that
she
initially
did
feel
that
the
show
writers
were
too
harsh
on
the
middle
class.
On
being
quizzed
as
to
which
character
does
she
relate
to
more
between
Maya
Sarabhai
and
Monisha,
Ratna
revealed,
"Of
course,
Maya
Sarabhai
it
has
to
be
her.
Tauba
I
don't
relate
to
Monisha
at
all
in
real
life.
And
in
today's
time
definitely
with
Maya
Sarabhai.
I
remember
when
we
started
shooting
for
the
show,
I
often
asked
our
writer
Aatish
Kapadia,
kya
middle-class
ko
itna
lataadna
zaruri
hai...
(do
we
need
to
be
so
cruel
towards
the
middle
class).
Aren't
we
too
harsh
on
them
and
is
it
fair
after
all
we
all
are
middle
class.”
She
went
on
to
add,
“I
definitely
think
of
myself
as
a
middle-class
person
and
I
do
things
that
Monisha
does
in
real-life
to
save
money.
But
when
I
see
people
around
doing
things,
I
feel
hum
ne
shayad
kum
he
kiya.
As
Deven
Bhojani
said
earlier
the
show
was
much
ahead
of
its
time,
the
time
has
caught
up
with
it.
The
world
I
feel
is
turning
into
a
crazy
mess
that
Sarabhai
talked
about."
