Sumeet emphasised that Atish Kapadia (the director) realized that Rupali Ganguly used to do comedy in Sanjeevani, where she was supposed to play a serious role, and that's exactly what the makers were looking for. He continued how she questioned Aatish for thinking that she did comedy in Sanjeevani.
He recalled how Atish told Rupali, "Jis tarah se tum bolti thi voh comedy tha (The way you speak is comedy)."
Sumeet continued, "Aaj bhi hum uski khichayi karte hai ki Anupamaa mai tum bohot achi comedy karti ho (laughs) (Even today we pull he leg saying that you do good comedy in Anupamaa)."
The actor added, "Basically, Rupali is our punching bag. We all keep punching her. But she's a sport. She's a darling. Voh bechari hasti hai and 'Mai ghar chhod ke jaungi' aise bolti hai (She laughs and still says 'I will leave the house and go')."
For the uninformed, Sumeet essayed the role of Sahil in Sarabhai vs Sarabhai, whereas Rupali played his on-screen wife, Monisha.
Workwise, Sumeet was last seen in Wagle Ki Duniya. Rupali is currently seen in Anupamaa.
