Whenever the name Ratna Pathak Shah comes up, what every single person is reminded of, is her terrific portrayal of the upper-middle-class socialite Maya Sarabhai from Star One’s much-loved show Sarabhai V/S Sarabhai. Comprising of stalwarts Ratna Pathak Shah, Satish Shah, Rupali Ganguly, Sumeet Raghavan and Rajesh Kumar in central characters, the show followed the lives of the elite Sarabhai family and their middle-class daughter-in-law and how ideologies cashed, albeit in a humorous way. Rajesh Kumar Aka Sarabhai V/S Sarabhai's Rosesh To Return to Television With Colors Rishtey's Hum Saaf Saaf Hai

However, the highlight of the show, (apart from Rosesh and his weird diction and poems) was the back and forth banter between Ratna Pathak Shah and Rupali Ganguly’s characters Maya Indravadan Sarabhai and Monisha Sahil Sarabhai, characters that both the ladies played to the T. Naseeruddin Shah Fears For His Children in Today's India, Says 'Cow's Death Has More Significance Than Cop's Killing'; Watch Video

Maya’s epic burns and Monisha’s sporting nature would only make us love their chemistry even more. And that was what took Sarabhai V/S Sarabhai to new heights, so much so that we literally remember each and every episode.

The show went off air in 2006, but returned in 2017 with a second season, as a web-series on Hotstar. However, reception for the same was not what it was during season 1 and the show ended on a cliff hanger, with Monisha’s character leaving Sahil.
