Ratna Pathak Shah on being a part of Happy Family: Conditions Apply - Sarabhai vs Sarabhai's success absolutely justified my faith in Aatish Kapadia and JD Majethia's abilities as creators

Happy Family: Conditions Apply, starring Ratna Pathak Shah and Raj Babbar, has been getting great reviews from viewers. So the veteran actor talked about playing Hemlata Ben in the comedy series. In the family comedy show, all four generations of the same family live under the same roof. It is both dramatic and humorous. It's a story about coming together while making fun of their shared eccentricities and antiques.

Ratna, Raj, Atul Kulkarni, Ayesha Julka, Raunaq Kamdar, Meenal Sahu, Sanah Kapur, and Ahaan Saboo are among the series' ensemble cast members who play crucial parts. The audience responded favourably to Hemlata Ben, the not-so-typical heroine portrayed by the critically acclaimed Ratna, who stood out among the other audience-relatable characters.

The actor talked about how she felt when she found out she would be playing Hemalata Ben on the TV show Happy Family: Conditions Apply. She told ANI that Hemlata is a strange woman who is nice despite being rude, smooth, and possessing other negative characteristics. The fun element of it is seeing the disparities between these personalities; if they were all the same, there would be no humour.

Working with the makers of Happy Family was a thrill for Ratna, who had previously worked with JD Majethia and Aatish Kapadia on Sarabhai vs. Sarabhai.

She has been thrilled and eager to work with Aatish and JD again because Sarabhai vs. Sarabhai's success has more than vindicated her belief in their creative ability. In the current state of commercial Hindi-language comedy television, they are at the top of their game. They seem more self-assured, especially Aatish, who is open to taking greater chances and doing things that have never been done before, like Happy Family: Conditions Apply. 

Ratna added that this series has a really unique premise where one constantly swings between something that is socially meaningful and serious and something that is just ludicrous. As a writer and director, Aatish is a lot more confident, and he is also much more eager to take chances and try new things. JD has developed significantly as a producer. He has also become increasingly confident and adept at motivating and maintaining a team.

Under the banner of Hats Off Productions, Jamnadas Majethia and Aatish Kapadia produced Happy Family: Conditions Apply. Prime Video offers streaming access to the show.
