But the unit is enjoying itself, and it's soon teatime. Satish Shah goes to sleep. No, not an afternoon siesta, but the actor was not keeping well. Of course, you would not have guessed it from his brilliant performance.

Of the rest of the cast, Ratna says, "Maya (her character) is someone I would love to be in real life but am not. So I enjoy being Maya!"

Ratna Pathak Shah has acted in only four serials in 20 years. Her first was the big hit, Idhar Udhar.

Rupali, daughter of director Anil Ganguly (Kora Kagaz), says, "Crying comes very easy to me. I've acted in six serials before this. I enjoy my role as the daughter-in-law. I am not acting, I'm just playing myself!"
