You Are A ‘Pakka’ Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai Fan When…

It came, it saw, it conquered.

Once upon a time, a sitcom quietly entered the Indian television and ended shortly leaving its viewers high and dry. Amidst the routinely planned saas-bahu conspiracies, Sarabhai vs Sarabhai was whiff of fresh air that made all age groups hooked to this weekly.

Years after it ended, its fans are still hoping for a promised sequel and can’t wait to see the sophisticated magic again. Although the show had ended after just one season, its reruns and YouTube episodes have immortalized the classic. The fact that IMDB rates it 9.4/10 proves its credibility as a masterpiece.

Yeh jo nazar aate hain, yeh woh toh hain nahin, Shubaba!
Dekho inhe gaur se, toh dikhenge yeh aur koi, Shubaba!
Zubaan se oh my my… kitne pyare hain,
Dilon mein you don’t know woh angaare hain,
Sophistication inki surname hain,
Hypocrisy mein jeeten yeh saare hain;

Ek pal mein banti hai, pal mein bigadti hai,
You can’t say when, how or whyyy….
Sarabhai…..v/s Sarabhai……
