As per Hindustan Times, the 50-year-old actor, during a radio interview, said he didn’t regret being part of a show which will enter into its 14th season soon. It first aired on Television in 2008. The story revolves around the lives of a family living in Gokuldham Society, where they co-exist with families of different cultural backgrounds.

“No, no. The character of Jethalal is identified with a very fine actor, and I believe that an artist makes a character,” Yadav was quoted as saying.
