actress swati chitnis who is fondly remembered as jassuben is back on marathi television with sundar maza ghar excerpts of an interview with her your stints in hindi daily soaps like jassuben jayantilal joshi ki joint family laagi tujhse lagan and sasural simar ka were much appreciated what prompted you to return to marathi television it was a wonderful experience working in hindi and audiences too accepted me till date people identify with me as jassuben but the attraction towards the mother tongue is something different of course there has been a huge gap since the last time i last did a marathi serial i was not exactly away from marathi as i was active in theatre and films but i was definitely away from marathi television i found the concept of this show very interesting i have a very challenging role which does not have any regular saasbahu drama the show is very close to reality and the relationships the set are all kept very natural and believable so i felt like going ahead with itwhat according to you is the basic difference between hindi and marathi television for me work is work and i enjoyed working in both the mediums whether it is in english hindi marathi or any other language you are valued according to the kind of work you do i got immense respect while working in hindi television as well as in marathi so it all depends on you of course while working in a hindi daily soap we have a separate room and other facilities which are a luxury one does not find while working in marathi television production houses there can afford it which is not the case with marathi tv as things here are more on a middle class levelhaving worked for many marathi serials in the past what are the changes that you see now a lot has changed initially the working of marathi serials was convenient unlike hindi shows where the episodes would often be in cut to cut position the scenes to be telecasted this evening were shot early morning at times in marathi we had a bank of episodes the scripts would be definite but these days i hear that marathi serials are also in a similar cut to cut situation channel interference too has increased i started shooting for sundar maza ghar just a month ago so i wont be able to comment muchtell us about the roles played by you that are your favourite jassuben is definitely the favourite during that time women followed the pattern of my saris and even jassuben bindis were popular my roles in laagi tujhse lagan and ya gojirvanya gharat that had a grey shade to it were also good
