Mumbai: Noted actor Supriya Pathak says she was initially uncertain about playing the role of Hansa Parekh in "Khichdi".
The actor, who is all set to reprise her role of Hansa, a lazy
housewife who loves dressing up, in the third season of the show, says
she was initially offered both the characters - Hansa and Jayshree, who
controls the management of the house but enjoys gossip. The role of
Jayshree was played by Vandana Pathak.
The sitcom, revolving a Gujarati family, began in 2002.
The
makers came up with the season two of the show, called "Instant
Khichdi", in 2005 and then released a film based on the series, titled
"Khichdi: The Movie" in 2010.
"I did not anticipate that we will
get such an overwhelming response for our show. We just did the show we
believed in. This is the madness, fun quotient that we gave to viewers
through the show and they too loved it.
"When my children were in
school they were asked, 'your mother really does nothing?' And they
used to come home and tell me 'what's this happening?'," she says.
The show will go on air from April 14 on Star Plus channel.
