September 8, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Sarita Joshi of “Baa Bahu Aur Baby’ fame is back to work with Rajan Shahi’s new show “Chaand Chhupa Baadal Mein’ in the role of a grandmother. Joshi began her acting career at the age of nine and has innumerable plays, TV shows, and a good handful of movies to her credit. One can recall her performances in Bollywood movies such as Guru, where she played the role of Abhishek’s mother, and Dasvidaniya with Vinay Pathak. She is quite a big name in Gujarati theater and her legacy has carried on to Marathi theater and films as well.

Sarita Joshi is the mother of Ketki Dave and Purbi Joshi, and the fact of the matter is that even though both are successful actresses, their mother has a more happening career than both of them. Even at this age, whether as Baa or as Maa, Sarita Joshi has a huge fan following and she has no intention of retiring. She is a very active person and adds her own persona to the character she portrays.

Joshi add her take on this, “Though I have been in the industry for so many years and had two daughters to look after, I still made time for myself to explore the acting world.”

Out of all the mediums she has worked with, she holds a special place for theater and stage performances. She feels that the joy of performing on stage is any time better than anything else and that theater will always be her first love. “That’s not to say anything bad about television as being recognized and loved by her TV fans is a different kind of high in itself,” she signs off.
