Recently we saw actor Shekhar Shukla returning as Mamaji in the popular show Anupamaa, produced by Rajan Shahi. We spoke to him to find out how it feels to return to the show. "It’s a great feeling, I have been working here for 8 - 9 months since last July, so definitely I was missing work. Now I`ve been called back on the show. There were some health issues in the family so I had to take a break. Thus the story saw me going back to my hometown. For Samar`s birthday, they`ve called me back. It was fun I shot for two days." The fans have missed you.

“I missed the set a lot. Felt nice to meet everyone on the set and now I am enjoying being with the team again.” Shekhar also shares his way of portraying the humorous Mamaji in the show. “As I am from the theatre background, we do improvisations on the spot. For my character, I do a lot of improvisation and show it to the director. If the director likes it then we keep it if the director says stick to the script, I do that. When a writer writes a comedy scene they mostly don`t know who`s playing the character. If they know which artist is playing the character, it is easier because every comedian has their own style. As an artist, I do some improvisation here and there.”
