Dekh Bhai Dekh will undoubtedly be hailed as the best TV serial of the 90’s era. Its first episode was aired on 6th May, 1993 and it has been 22 years now. Things have changed but our liking for that serial remains the same. Even the Set of the serial is very fresh in our minds. The sweet naughty characters were so perfect, but as we have grown seeing this serial let us see how the characters and actors have grown in real life now.
PS:If you don’t know, the serial was produced by Jaya Bacchan under the Saraswati Audio Visuals Pvt Ltd
