Vandana Pathak chooses Khichdi over Gujarati film

Actress Vandana Pathak says she chose to star in Khichdi, which is making a comeback soon on television, instead of featuring in a Gujarati film.

Khichdi, a cult comedy show during the early 2000s, is set to make a comeback with the original cast; Supriya Pathak, Vandana, Anang Desai and Rajeev Mehta.

"Khichdi has given me a lot of name and fame in the industry. So to say no to the show would have been like saying no to family members and I wouldn't do that. Shooting for Khichdi has been like homecoming for me and I am already enjoying meeting my Parekh parivaar (family)," Vandana, best known for playing Jayshree Parekh in the show, said in a statement.

It will soon go on air on Star Plus.
