I was the prime subject for all the pranks on the set: Asawari Joshi
She is Usha Madam from Sony SAB’s Office Office
The tales of Mussadilal are back as Sony SAB brings back one of the most iconic shows of the 2000s which enjoyed immense popularity among viewers of all ages. Office Office is back to make some of us nostalgic while determined to leave a mark on the young viewers’ hearts.
Asawari Joshi, who essayed the comical role of Usha Madam, is excited about the return of Office Office on Sony SAB as she reminisces the fun filled days of shooting this classic show.
Asawari Joshi while reminiscing the days of Office Office said, “I remember the days of Office Office like it was yesterday. The entire cast came from a theatre background and the methods we all used worked in sync for us. One of the best parts about all of us having a common root was the fact we used to give a one take shot for even a 7 page long scene and used to get done with the shift much early. The only serious moment on the set was during the scene reading session and the rest of the time, I only remember all of us laughing and enjoying.”
Recalling the fun moments on the sets, she said, “The most mischievous one on the set was Sanjay Mishra who was the master of quick comebacks and played pranks on me every day. I was always the prime subject for all the pranks and one day everyone decided to play a prank on me while we were in the middle of a reading session. They made me scream in the middle of the session by making me think that a mouse was under my chair.”
Asawari Joshi further added, “Being the only woman in the cast, all the men used to pull my leg by calling me “Production ka eklauta damaad”, because I had all the perks from having an individual room and a personal stylist like a pampered son-in-law. While Sanjay, Manoj and Hemant were the notorious gang who kept on playing pranks on me, they also became really good friends, Deven was fairly quiet on the set and very sincere towards his work. I feel we all have learnt the most from Pankaj ji and during the entire journey of Office Office, I have witnessed his immense dedication towards his work.”
Talking about watching the show again on Sony SAB, she shared, “Watching the show after years makes me nostalgic. While the times have changed, Office Office is a show that will continue to create a special place in peoples’ hearts.”
