Despite so many hurdles, the show has successfully marked 15 years recently. On what kept everything going, Modi said: “Hurdles come in every successful work. And those who pass the hurdles, they only succeed in life. So, we are accepting hurdles and challenges, and whatever is happening in and around us, we are fighting it with a positive mindset.”

The 56-year-old producer further said: “We have never done anything wrong to anyone. We have always kept everyone happy. So, we don't bother, we are clean and pure by heart.”

“This is the reason why we are able to create comedy. Otherwise, creating comic shows is very difficult. A negative person cannot create a comedy show like this. The show has innocence and is watched by families. We are very positive and fortunate, as we have the audience's love, my team's support, and the blessings of god,” he said.

On the show's journey, Asit said that he will never forget this experience because of the love they have received from the audiences.

“Running the show for 15 years, doing comedy daily, it has never happened in the world. I cannot express this feeling in words. It's been a continuous hard work since 2008, bringing new stories each day. I also thank my team for bringing freshness in every episode. Doing this journey without any leap, it's all God's grace, our hard work and team work,” he added.
