I am so grateful to the entire team, especially Ekta Ma’am for giving me this opportunity. And of course, our viewers who have made this possible. Cheers to 2000 episodes, I wish and pray for another 20000 episodes!” Mugdha Chapekar who plays Prachi said, “My heart is filled with a lot of gratitude for the entire team for all the hard work everyone has put in. The new generation has entered for almost 3 years now, but this show has always been Shabir and Sriti's show for the past 8 years. We have a lot of love and affection towards each other on the set and that is what helps us to keep going. Thank you to our fans because of which we are where we are today and also to Ekta ma'am as her impeccable vision, this show has always been everyone's favourite!”   Pooja Banerjee who plays the role of Rhea said, “I joined this show very recently but in no time, it felt like I became a part of this beautiful family.
