Terming her shows to be representative of the masses, she accepts the contradictions of the content and its producer, adding, “I live a paradox. However, all of us largely have the same insecurities. Besides, I make shows for the masses and they are not regressive; what you are watching on television might be actually happening in a house. For instance, Kkusum was inspired by a girl in my office. I have deliberately chosen a Marathi set-up for this one since my father’s upbringing happened in a chawl in Girgaum. So, I spent a lot of time there, observed it very closely and have been largely exposed to that culture. Also, Maharashtrians are one of the most culturally-rich, close-knit and educated families, where conservatism and progress go hand-in-hand,” she adds.
