In "Bal Kand" I had read that Shiva and Parvati worshipped Lord Ganesh after seeking permission of sages during their wedding. Since long I was doing recitation of "Ramayan" on every Tuesday. That time one incident indicating the glory of lord Ganesh occurred. Before the shooting, nearly 20 episodes were written and the date of the shooting was also fixed.
It was the first TV serial based on the mythological legend behind Lord Ganesh. Would you like to say anything? Do you recall any event?Ī. TV serial "Shree Ganesh" is being re-telecast after 20 years. We stopped shooting, observed two minutes silence as mark of respect to that "Shiv Bhakt". After reading that letter, the entire unit was in tears. Thinking that his last desire was to watch that episode, we kept his body in front of the TV set, when that episode was being telecast and performed his last rites after 73 hours, his son wrote in the letter.
But he passed away before the episode was telecast. He was curious to watch the first meeting between Mahadev and Ravan in the next episode. One day a viewer from Uttar Pradesh sent a letter narrating how devotedly his father used to was watch "Om Namah Shivay". The responsibility of reading and replying to those letters was given to me by my producer. "Om Namah Shivay" was the most debated show and after every episode the viewers used to write hundreds of letters. Do you recall any memorable event during this period?Ī. Thereafter I scripted the serial till end. After that Producer Dheeraj Kumar and director Chandrakant Gaud encouraged me to bring in novelty and new ideas in the story. Before that the scripting was done by Dr Rahi Masoom Raza and after his demise Dr. But in fact I had done scripting for this serial after 135 th episode. I am a devotee of Lord Mahadev (Shiva) and I get filled with emotions with darshan of Mahadev. How do you feel and what you have to say?Ī.
The TV serial "Om Namah Shivay" is being re televised after 23 years. The excerpts from interview with Vikas Kapoor: These serials have been receiving good viewers' response.
