In a world where acting chemistry can make or break a show, especially one driven by ensemble dynamics, Ram Kapoor’s reflections on the cast chemistry reveal why Mistry promises to be something special. Sharing screen space with such powerful co-actors is no small feat, yet Ram Kapoor praises the collective strength and harmony that fuels the show’s magic.
Ram Kapoor says, “I don't say this lightly. In fact, the press will probably realize that I've hardly ever said this in the past, except maybe once. When your entire principal cast is dead strong, then magic happens. Like, for example, Bade Achhe Lagte Hai, which was my biggest television hit, was so good because it had Sakshi and me. If either me or Sakshi weren't there, I don't think it would have been the same level because acting is not a one-man show. It is a group effort. And the four principal cast members are so perfect in their casting. I mean Mona,Kshitish, Shikha and I, all four are so perfect that it's just magical to see the scenes. When I was dubbing, I was laughing at what the other characters were doing. I think one of the best things that our show has is the four principal cast members because everybody is perfectly cast for that role and they are completely shining.”
