Sharing his working experience with Zakir Khan he adds, "This whole show is mounted and created by him. So it was really a fun experience. There was mutual appreciation amongst us. He always praised our work. I always saw him as a stand up comedian and it was the first time I was saw him as an actor so it was a great experience for both of us. I really admire his work because such a genuine comedy he brings out from real life. The kind of authenticity and sincerity he has for his work is fantastic."

"Interesting thing about this show is that now otts are creating content which is slice of life which has no nudity or abusive words like 'Panchayat' and many other shows. It's a pure slice of life and family oriented that one can watch with family. A healthy entertainment with all turn and twist is what one can experience from this show. It is full of ensemble cast and everyone has done their job very well with honesty. Since this is a continuation of first season and new talents have been included in this season so it was really great," Shashie adds.
