Anupam ji, you said that I was sitting in front, so I must have felt a little strange, but while watching all this, I was wondering whether I sit somewhere in all these things? We do business. We look at profit and loss but whenever I come to such programs, I really feel that we are contributing less in some things in the society.

He further said that I have been a part of this drama since day one. I have also suggested changes in the script to the director many times. Arpita Chatterjee’s contribution in this drama is really remarkable. Not only Arpita, but everyone from the director of this play to the background artist has worked very hard. Watching this drama will truly be a wonderful experience for the audience.
