Sob Sob: Aji Sunte Ho host cries on the set

Zee TV’s latest non-fiction property ‘Aji Sunte Ho …’   celebrates togetherness of married life between real married couples and beautifully captures the dynamics of their relationships, what binds them together, what brings about differences, how they makeup and so on. Renowned theater actor Satish Sharma, who plays the role of a host and mentor to the couples appearing on the show, recently broke down while shooting for the ‘Punar Vivaah’ special episode where they discussed the challenges that lie ahead for people looking to re-marry.

The guest couples shared their post-divorce experience, especially its impact on their children who go through the most traumatic experience of their lives. Listening to their heart-wrenching accounts left Satish emotional and teary-eyed. Not only the hosts but everyone present on the sets got emotional and the shoot was stalled for a half hour till everyone regained composure.

Satish Sharma shares, “We recently shot for an episode themed around ‘Punar Vivaah’ where the re-married couples narrated accounts of their first marriages that were troubled and also the difficulties they are still facing with their children who end up depressed. One of the wives cried her heart out stating that she is a helpless mother who cannot meet her child due to the laws and the custody being given to her ex-husband. I also have a 10-year-old son and I could totally connect to her emotions. The whole atmosphere got very charged with emotion. I tried fighting back my tears but I guess, we’re all human and her situation touched a raw nerve. The director thought I was acting but then it was for real because only a parent can relate to the feelings of another. I am really lucky that I have a child and could identify with her pain as a result. This is what happens on a show like Aji Sunte Ho – One experiences everything … the happiness of the couples as well as their sorrows.”

Pranoti Pradhan who plays Mrs. Sharma in the show says, “Satish ji is really strong actor and a happy-go-lucky person. But during the shoot for this episode he really got very emotional. At first, he covered his face and then started weeping like we’d never seen before. Seeing him, everyone on the set got very serious. I have always seen him as a cheerful person but for the first time, I saw this side of him. I’m sure every parent in the audience will be similarly able to connect with our Punar Vivaah episode.”

Get ready to witness the emotional sides of parents in the upcoming ‘Punar vivaah’ episodes of Aji Sunte Ho where hosts Mr & Mrs Sharma will chat with real life couples about the different aspects of re-marriage through their own good and bad experiences. 

Aji Sunte Ho airs every Monday to Friday at 6:30 PM, only on Zee TV.
