However, considering the times in which they were shot, our show was shot with better technical equipment as compared to Arun Govil’s version. Also, the fact that our version has been the most recent, people in the age group of 17 to 37 years have all watched it, and therefore it is more relatable. We are thankful to have played those characters 10 years ago.”
