Years ago Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai first appeared on television and introduced such epic characters who made people laugh out loud and still do so. Just like the saas-bahu jodi of Maya and Monisha. The posh urbanised Maya’s witty digs at Monisha’s middle-class upbringing certainly prompted a lot of giggles and chuckles from people. Especially, when Maya took it upon herself to define everything Monisha said in a ‘sophisticated way’ by starting the sentence with ‘Monisha Beta’ and ending it with the show’s popular catchphrase ‘it’s so middle class’.
