Aasif Sheikh reveals Dharmendra and Asha Bhosle are fan of his show Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain

There is no denying the fact that Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain is one of the most popular sitcoms on Indian television. The show, which hit the airwaves in 2015, recently completed seven years of its glorious run. Not just the common man, several stars from Bollywood are also diehard fans of the show, with legendary singer Asha Bhosle and superstar Dharmendra being one of them. Yes, you read it right!

During a recent interview, producer Sanjay Kohli revealed, “Once I was playing at the Khar gym when I got a call from an unknown number and the lady on the call told me she was Asha. I asked Asha, who? She told me, ‘I am Asha Bhosle’. I hung up the call as I thought someone was playing a prank on me. She called me again and I again disconnected but when I checked the number on TrueCaller, it showed me ‘Asha Bhosale’. I called her up finally and apologised. Ashaji told me that she and Lata didi were huge fans of our show. She shared how Lata didi and she did not sleep till they watched our show. She also praised Tiku and Malkan’s singing style which they always do after their entry. She had also invited us for dinner at their home. Pandit Jasrajji’s last birthday wish was to meet the team of Bhabiji on his birthday and we all had gone.``

Aasif Sheikh, who plays the character of Vibhuti Narayan Mishra on the show, added that not only Asha Bhosle, superstar Dharmendra is also a fan of Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain.

“Just 5-6 days ago, I learnt that my friend is shooting a documentary on living legends and he met Dharmendraji for the same. So, during the conversation, Dharamji stated that he loves watching our show and he does not sleep without watching our episodes. He also said that when he starts watching it, he continues till at least two hours. My friend recently met and narrated the entire thing to me and I was so inspired and happy.”

Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain is in for a major overhaul in upcoming episodes as the makers are going to introduce actress Vidisha Srivastava as new Anita Bhabhi after Neha Pendse quit the show.
