Comments Asit Kumarr Modi, ‘It was a big group but we agreed because children wanted to come together with their teachers. They were all very happy and excited when they reached the sets. Until they were actually in Gokuldham Society, they were not very sure that they were being taken to our sets.’

Shailesh Lodha and Amit Bhatt aka Bapuji also had a great time with these kids. In fact it was through the efforts of Amit Bhatt that they could come on sets and enjoy their trip.

All the kids were overwhelmed to meet their favourite characters from the show and were mesmerized with Gokuldhaam Society. The children just couldn’t believe their eyes. None of them was ready to leave or bid goodbye to the characters!

Kartik Nadar, from standard III, couldn’t believe that these actors don’t stay there. He was wondering where the other family members were. When his teacher explained that there are no rooms and that this is only a set, his mouth fell open. Manav, a Std IX student, said ‘It was always my desire to see these actors in person, and visit Gokhuldam Society. Today, my wish is fulfilled. I am so excited!’
