Juhi Chawla shoots for a television show

It's more that a fetish now a days to be on the tele-screen. Juhi Chawla gets attached to a family other than her own. The TV serial 'Baa Bahu Aur Baby' had the honor of having Juhi's presence on their show and she spent an entire episode with the cast. Must have been some experience. “I liked the Thakkar family and I enjoyed myself a lot. Although it was my first time, they made me feel very much at ease. I was thrilled to see that the whole cast behave like one big family. They are all such good actors and it was easy working with them. I have never worked on television before, and it is the first time I have come in a serial, but I will remember and cherish this day for a very long time. 'Baa Bahu Aur Baby' has been my one and only experience in a TV serial and a very pleasant one”, says Juhi.

Bhoothnath was a smaller family when you compare to the family in 'Baa Bahu Aur Baby'. “The serial has been an exciting experience because there is such a big family who've been together for such a long time. I wouldn't like to choose one over the other but all I can say is that the viewers who watch 'Baa Bahu Aur Baby' are very attached to the Thakkar family and are supremely fond of the show.” After playing the mother of the naughty kid in Bhoothnath the serial could barely be that tiring, especially with kids like 'Gattu'. Juhi remembers shooting for Bhoothnath in the big house. “Not just the kids of the house, but the ambience, the spirit of togetherness, the ease, no-attitude behavior, chemistry between the actors, on spot improvisation etc., every thing reminds me of Bhootnath. The film also had a huge set of a house where 50 to 60% of the film was shot. For almost two months, we have been going on the sets daily that by the end of the schedule the entire unit was like one big family and going to the sets felt like going from your home to another home. The same applies to the set here. Since there is such a big house and such a big family, you start thinking of it as a part of you...”

'Baa Bahu Aur Baby' and Bhoothnath, if compared would have some similarities minus the 'Bhooth' factor. What say Juhi? “I like 'Baa Bahu Aur Baby' since it's a family show and things here are not over dramatized. The incidents and nuances are so similar to our real lives and most of the incidences we see here often happen in our own homes. Our film, Bhoothnath is also quite the same. It is a movie that families would like to see. I think just as family audience form the crux for 'Baa Bahu Aur Baby', so will they for Bhoothnath.”

Juhi Chawla can be seen in 'Baa Bahu Aur Baby' on Saturday, April 12 at 9.30 pm on STAR Plus.
