Sarabhai vs Sarabhai Serial 15: The Sarabhais Meet Their New Neighbour



After eleven years, the life of the Sarabhai family has not changed much. Now Monisha and Sahil have a seven-year-old son Aurnob a.k.a. Guddu and finally, Rosesh has found his love interest Jasmine Mavani also gaining the main role in a TV serial which he eventually loses. The family has moved to new penthouses. The season ended with Monisha asking for a divorce from Sahil, indicating a new season to come.




sarabhai vs sarabhai serial 15



Maya's cousins; Himanshu, Hansa along with their family come over to meet her and Indravadan.(Note: Originally the 25th episode premise is about rosesh's book "patthar par paani, rosesh ki zubaani" getting published. Khichdi with sarabhai part 2 was aired as a part of khichdi series. This episode does not exist on Hotstar!)


Rosesh and Jasmine do a drama serial. The director insults Rosesh and Jasmine feels bad and quit the serial with Rosesh. Maya and Rosesh shoot an advertisement with Prahlad but Prahlad doesn't like Rosesh's acting.


The other players in the tale are Sahil's brother Roshesh (Rajesh Kumar), a mama's boy and a wannabe actor waiting for his mom to find him the right bride, Sonya -- Sahil's sister whose life revolves around tarot cards -- and her husband Dushyant (played by the serial's director, Deven Bhojwani) who is obsessed with gizmos and loves explaining anything and everything in the greatest possible detail.


Says Satish Shah, "We work as a family in the serial. The ambience is so nice that we hardly feel tired after a day's work. Atish Kapadia (the scriptwriter) has a fantastic sense of humour which is reflected in the excellent script."


Ratna agrees. "I enjoy working for this serial. Since the story is set in upmarket Malabar Hills, you need a producer who is willing to spend on the sets, create the right ambience and relate to the story in general. You cannot play a posh character in a shabby set! I am happy that Hats Off Productions has taken care of these issues."


Once on the set, there is no way one can miss the designer candle stands in all the rooms. Every element has carefully designed by art director Omung Kumar, known for his sets in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's [Images] Black and in television serials like Kaun Banega Crorepati.


Rupali feels she is lucky that her first comedy serial is a success. "It might sound clichd but I am a lot like the character I am playing. Like Monisha, Rupali in real life is also carefree, superstitious and unkempt."


Deven Bhojwani, the director of the serial, has dabbled in comedy as an actor as well -- he was part of the hit soap Dekh Bhai Dekh. Says Bhojwani, "I am very lucky to have got the opportunity to direct a serial like this. The entire crew has been extremely supportive."


JD, the producer, adds that on April 18 and 19, there will be a crossover between two serials, Instant Khichdi and Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai. "The serials are very different from each other. While the first one is very downmarket, Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai is extremely upmarket. We are trying to make the twain meet!"


  • Sarabhai vs Sarabhai was one of the best series ever created on Indian Television. After more than a decade of its wrap up people still remember the episodes fondly and even though all the actors went their different ways they were always associated with the serial. Sarabhai vs Sarabhai was the only serial that came closest to Friends in terms of achieving cult status. Sarabhai vs Sarabhai is now all set to return as a web series with many of the original actors coming back together but will take a seven-year leap.
