Ratna Pathak Shah shares experience of playing Hemlata Ben in 'Happy Family'

13 Mar 2023

Ratna Pathak Shah and Raj Babbar starrer 'Happy Family' has been receiving a positive response from the audience, the actress opened up about playing the role of Hemlata Ben in the comedy series.The family comedy series revolves around a joint family of four generations living under one roof, stirring humor and drama. It's a tale of togetherness while spilling humor off their antiques and collective differences.The series stars an ensemble cast comprising Ratna Pathak ShahRaj Babbar, Atul Kulkarni, Ayesha Julka, Raunaq Kamdar, Meenal Sahu, Sanah Kapur, and Ahaan Saboo in pivotal roles.Among so many relatable characters, one character that stood out and received positive response from the audience is that of Hemlata Ben, the not-so-typical Baa played by critically acclaimed actress, Ratna Pathak Shah.Sharing her response to being offered the role of Hemalata Ben in the series, Happy Family: Conditions Apply, Ratna Pathak said, "Hemlata is an unusual woman, she's not nice, she's not smooth and she has got all kinds of unpleasantness, yet she's charming. It's the contrasts of these characters that make a comedy, if everyone is alike then there's no humor, that is the fun part of it."Ratna, who had previously collaborated with JD Majethia and Aatish Kapadia in Sarabhai vs Sarabhai, said that "working with the creators on Happy Family was a joyful experience. She added, "Sarabhai's success absolutely justified my faith in Aatish and JD's abilities as creators, so I've been extremely happy and looking forward to working with them again. They are at the top of their game in the present-day of commercial-Hindi language comedy programming. I felt that they're more assured, particularly Aatish who is willing to take more risks and do what's not been tried before like Happy Family: Conditions Apply. This series is a rather unusual concept where you're swinging from something pretty serious and valuable socially to something absolutely ridiculous and this constant swinging keeps happening. Aatish is much more assured as a writer as well as a director and he's much more willing to take risks and experiment more. JD has also grown greatly as a producer. His confidence and his ability to keep a team going and keep them happy together has also grown manifold."'Happy Family: Conditions Apply' is created by Jamnadas Majethia and Aatish Kapadia, under the banner Hats Off Productions. The series is streaming exclusively on Prime Video.

Trailer of Raj Babbar, Ratna Pathak Shah's 'Happy Family' unveiled, take a look

3 Mar 2023

The trailer takes the audience into the world of the Dholakias, a family of four generations living under one roof, as they navigate the many ups and downs of their lives together. To the world, Dholakias appear to be picture-perfect, but like most families they are dysfunctional; each one with their own unique quirks, quibbles and eccentricities. It is in these imperfections that they find the perfect bond that keeps them together.View this post on InstagramShared post on TimeThe Fasco Motors plius has been in business for over 100 years, and offers a variety of commercial pumping, HVAC and air-moving equipment. To get a Fasco Motors catalog, you can download it from the website, or download a catalog ...Sharing his excitement to be a part of 'Happy Family', Raj Babbar said, "Comedy is not a genre I have often dabbled with. Happy Family: Conditions Apply is, in fact, my first out-and-out comedy, and that itself is what made me want to be a part of this series. The series has everything that can be found in any regular family. There's drama, romance, fighting and making up, playfulness--all of which add to the hilarity of the series. It has been a genuine honour and pleasure to work with Aatish and JD and our exceptional cast, each of whom have done utmost justice to their characters. I'm looking forward to seeing how audiences across the world will react to my new avatar, and hope they enjoy meeting the Dholakias just as much as I enjoyed being a part of the Dholakia family!"Ratna Pathak, too, expressed her excitement."There is a certain joy in playing a character who is unabashedly herself. Hemlata Dholakia is a character who wears her heart on her sleeve, but is always ready with a sassy remark. She is unintentionally hilarious, honest to the point of being brash, but also fiercely protective of her family. It has always been a pleasure to work with Aatish and JD, who have once again brought their distinctive style to the series, and the extremely talented cast. I'm proud to be a part of this series and look forward to the audience's reaction to it," she shared.The first four episodes will premiere exclusively on Prime Video on March 10, with 2 episodes releasing every Friday until March 31.
