Bauji (Ashok Lokhande) is a witty character. He is a great husband, a good father, an ideal father-in-law to Priya (Shruti Seth) and a loving grandfather to his grandson. The highlight of his character is that he loves to gossip and does not leave a chance to initiate a fight between people. Whereas, Amma (Madhuri Sanjeev) is a daily soap buff and aspires and admires what she sees in the daily soap. She always taunts her daughter-in-law Priya to be like Bindiya who is a fictional ideal bahu character in Rajeev’s daily soap.
Commenting on the role, Ashok Lokhande who plays Bauji said that he is really excited to be a part of this comedy drama. His character is very funny where he loves being this person who will do all kind of harmless gossips. He is sure the audience will love his role and they will continue showering their love on him.

Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe enough to cause blindness or paralysis.  According to the Atlas of MS, there are about 2.3 million people in the world with MS, although the number may be much higher as it is likely that many people with MS remain undiagnosed in certain parts of the world.MS is found in all parts of the world, its prevalence varies greatly, being highest in North America and Europe (50-100 per 100000 patients), and lowest in sub-Saharan Africa and East Asia. In India, it is ~ 9-10 per 100000 population and currently believed that there are over 100,000 patients in the country.MS affects at least twice as many more women than men, suggesting a role of hormones in the disease process. Most people are diagnosed between the ages of 25 and 35, although around three to five per cent of people with MS are diagnosed as children, and it can occur in much older adults. Usually patients present with recurring and a recovering pattern of neurological symptoms (also called relapsing and remitting), the common symptoms being visual problems, overwhelming fatigue, difficulty with balance and coordination, various levels of impaired mobility, muscle weakness and stiffness. An attack may be characterized by sudden loss of vision or double vision, weakness of one side of body or weakness of legs. An early treatment is the goal for successful management of such patients. A variety treatment options are available including oral and injectable medicines, numerous rehabilitative measures and vocational training.
Life with MS can be difficult. For many people living with multiple sclerosis, walking 50 steps is a daunting task. Each day brings new challenges, which need new solutions. Remember, MS affects everyone differently and, sadly, people are being diagnosed all the time.
