Here’s what makes Rupali Ganguly more like Monisha from ‘Sarabhai vs Sarabhai’ in real life

Actress Rupali Ganguly is all set to reprise her much-loved role as Monisha Sarabhai in Sarabhai vs Sarabhai and this is what she has to say about it

The season 2 of popular TV show Sarabhai vs Sarabhai is all set to tickle our funny bones in a web series now. The show will start from May 16 and we will get to see the whole cast back in action. Actress Rupali Ganguly, who is set to reprise her much-loved role as Monisha Sarabhai in the show, says she likes to bargain with shopkeepers just as her on-screen character.

The traits of Monisha Sarabhai — a character made popular originally by Sarabhai vs Sarabhai — include a love for bargaining and speaking in an excessively loud tone. The show is now being brought back as a web series.

Talking about why she enjoys playing Monisha, Rupali told IANS here: “I’m a bargain queen from my childhood. I bargain even in departmental stores to get special discount on their ‘best prize’! I mean why should the corporate companies make all the money (laughs)?

“After my marriage, I mellowed down a little as I stopped bargaining with vegetable vendors on streets, but otherwise I am Monisha in real life.”

As Sarabhai vs Sarabhai: Take 2 is a humorous take on middle-class mentality, asked if she finds it risky at times, she said: “We are making fun of high society as well as of the middle class. But we all know that such characters exist, so we should take it easy and have the ability to make fun of ourselves.”

Having gained popularity on television with Sanjivani, the actress also took part in various reality shows like Zara Nachke Dikha, Bigg Boss (Season 1) and Fear Factor – Khatron Ke Khiladi Level 2. However, the actress is facing the camera after four years and according to her, it took her some time to accept her look on screen now.

Well, with Sarabhai show just a few days away from its launch, we can’t wait any longer to watch the show.
