Growing up in the 2000s meant we were exposed to the best of television content. Be it cartoons, reality shows or even family dramas, our generation got a taste of the best. One such show that fills our heart with happy memories and made us laugh out loud without a miss was Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai.

There is no forgetting SoBoâs up-class Maya, adorable daddy-cool Indu, their âmis-fitâ of a daughter-in-law Monisha and of course the Sarabhai bros Sahil and Rosesh with their own set of quirks. Now given that the show is reportedly all set to make a comeback on TV yet again amid the coronavirus lockdown, I personally cannot wait to re-watch these seven iconic episodes from the show.

In no particular order, the below sequence is merely a reflection of which Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai episode had had the most impact on my psyche.

1. Dushyantâs Entry

Gadget-freak Dushyant or Indu and Mayaâs son-in-law, no matter whatever you want to call this guy, he did bring with him a fresh burst of comedy. His unabashed love for gadgets and the ability to laugh off every failure stole my heart.

2. Mallika Sherawatâs Special Appearance

Who can forget Sunehri? Besides you and me, I bet Indu and Sahil havenât been able to forget her either. She came, she saw, she played and then she made a run for it with her prize.

3. The Motherâs Day Episode Ft. Rosesh

In all these years of being a fan of this show, if there is one moment thatâs literally carved into my mind, it has to be Roseshâs Motherâs Day special poetry -

Momma ka purse, jaise hospital ki pyaari koi nurse

Purse mein rakha tissue paper karta hai paseene ka ilaaj 

Aur lipstick ho jaise, bhooke hotho ka anaj

Momma ke purse ka hai makhmali sa sparsh

Momma ka purse, momma ka purse.

I mean, come on!

4. Monishaâs Sophisticated Avatar

I remember this one happened around the end of the first season, but boy was this role reversal cathartic or what! Things got so out of hand at one point, that Monisha succeeded in making Maya uncomfortable. This one was a complete win.

5. Monisha & Sahilâs Flashback Lovestory

This came in parts, but even with its hilarity, Monisha and Sahilâs cute flashback love story helped fill so many unknown gaps. Also, it was such a revelation to find out that Monisha is Manisha, after all.

6. Mayaâs Role Reversal As A Middle-Class Woman

Again, Mayaâs middle-class avatar is unforgettable. You simply donât forget someone becoming the exact thing they detest the most in life - and in Mayaâs case that would be being middle-class.

7. Kaccha Kelaâs Poetry Episode

The only other person in the entire show who could rival Rosesh in his poetry skills was this man. Anirudh aka Kaccha Kelaâs Main Lukkha Hu takes the trophy, hands down.
