In an interview with Rajshri, Satish said, “The makers of Sarabhai came to my house, and they narrated me the whole story that there is a role of a father. I was listening to it seriously and told them, ‘Ok, let’s do it.’ When we started the show, it was taken off air because it had low TRPs. I don’t want to blame anyone. We had worked sincerely. But people realised later when they again saw it and after that it (TRP) went on rising.”
