What is your new show on SAB TV, Thank You Jijaji, all about?
It is a spoof on bureaucracy in our country. I play the jijaji to a very respected senior IAS officer of excise and taxation. Everyone at work and home is extremely scared of him, but he is very scared of his brother-in-law, played by me.

Why have you given so much importance to the brother-in-law?
In Indian families the jijaji is always talked about with a lot of love. If you notice, in wedding it’s the jijaji that is the most important. If the jijaji is angry then everyone is worried, if the jijaji is happy then the wedding was a success.
