JD Majethia's Gujju fixation

JD Majethia
What’s common in serials like Khichdi, Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai, Baa Bahoo Aur Baby, Behnein and Jasuben Jayantilal Joshi Ki Joint Family? Apart from having come from the esteemed Hats Off Productions, all the shows had a Gujarati background. In fact, in one of the many interviews he has given, Hats Off’s Producer JD Majethia gave to Indiantelevision.com, he did agree that he prefers opting for a Gujarati milieu in his shows because he himself is one. “One should work in a zone where the comfort levels are high. One should detect, tap and exploit his own strengths, only then he is truly creative,” he said. However, he seems to have changed his mind now and doesn’t really accept his Gujju fetish, despite his new show R K Laxman Ki Duniya, having a Gujarati milieu. ““It all depends on the concept and making of any show and also in which theme it will be the most effective. We had to select any caste from our diverse country and we just happened to select a Gujarati family. If you notice, we also have a South Indian family in the parallel characters. In fact, Mrs Tendulkar had a Marathi background.” Agreed, JDbhai. But now you seem to be back to your Gujju formula. Gujaratis, obviously have the Midas touch, as far as you are concerned. Even if you choose to deny it. All, we would like to say is good going!!!
