The talented mother-daughter duo of Sarita Joshi and Ketki Dave are all set to share screen space after two-and-a-half decades. Last seen together in Hasratein (1996-1997), the two will now reunite on JD Majethia and Aatish Kapadia’s Pushpa Impossible. While Sarita Joshi has been part of the show since its inception, Ketki will join the cast to play Deepti’s (Garima Parihar) grandmother, Kunjbala. Ketki says, “We worked together on stage for a play when I was young and struggling, and later in Hasratein. She was in Delhi when I commenced the shoot for Pushpa Impossible. Dono maa beti saath mein rahenge aur bohot comedy hogi. We will get to be together now since we are part of the same show or else, one usually gets to catch up mostly over phone calls.”
Their equation has evolved from the time Sarita directed her daughter in a couple of plays a long time ago to sharing the screen today. The proud daughter shares, “My mother is a legendary actress and I can’t even think of matching up to her. She taught me a lot during my foundation years as an actor. She has always been my biggest critic. I would mostly listen to her suggestions and sometimes told her, ‘Aye mummy, chalo ab bas ho gaya’ (laughs!). She is chilled out. When she praised me during my stint on Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahi Thi, I felt that I had arrived. Now, when she compliments me for my performance, I pester her to tell me about my flaws!”
