Album launch for Rajshri serial

Mumbai’s ultimate shooting hub Filmcity was looking picturesque and beautiful; thanks to the sudden November rain. In this pleasant weather we were sipping cool ‘sharbat’ at the beautiful and palatial golden haveli Swarna Bhavan, which is the residence of the Thakurs from Rajshri production’s new offering on Zee TV Yahan Mein Ghar Ghar Kheli.
For the first time in the history of Indian television, a music album of a serial has been launched here.The entire cast and crew of the serial Yahan Mein... were present on the occasion, the ever smiling Alok Nath, elegant Smita Jaykar, debutant Tarun, bubbly Suhasi and the delicate-looking Namrata Thapa all looking their designer best.
A soft-spoken Sooraj Barjatya shared his thoughts on the reasons behind making this serial. Asked about the lavish set, the majestic Swarna Bhavan, where everything is made of gold, he gave the example of the elephant from Rajesh Khanna-starrer Haathi Mere Saathi. “The house is a character like the elephant in that movie and shares each and every thought of the inmates.�
Alok Nath confessed that after pack up, when he reached home, he would find it small as they got so used to the Swarna Bhawan mansion. Smita Jaykar looked the perfect ‘Thakuraaien’ in a red and zardosi sari. The younger cast, comprising Tarun, Suhasi and Namrata were in a jovial mood. Tarun, who after 10,000 auditions, landed this role of Swarn Prakash gives the credit to Siddhivinayak Ganpati. Suhasi, who plays the main protagonist Swarna Aabha, was basking in the glory.
It looked just like any scene from a Rajshri movies, from the unbelievable, massive sets to designer costumes of the star cast. At least we can hope that here is one serial which the entire family can watch together without feeling embarrassed. But only time will tell if it keeps up with the Rajshri tradition!
