MUMBAI: Actor Alpana Buch aka Baa from Rajan Shahi’s Anupamaa is thrilled as her show has crossed 150 episodes. The actor says that the show is very fortunate to have some of the best directors and crew on board, which play a great role in making it a success. “We all are very happy to have crossed 150 episodes and I wish we cross more and more milestones in the future. A director is the captain of a ship and as the captain knows how to steer the ship with the air direction, the same way, our director moulds us to give the performances best suited for the scene. The director tells us how we should be portraying a certain thing and if we are going wrong, which is very important. We are very happy and lucky to have Romesh Kalra, Abhay and Sunan as directors,” she says.

The actor adds that another factor behind the show being a huge hit is the bond shared by the team. “We have a very pleasant atmosphere on the sets and this is why I feel our performances come out very naturally and effortlessly. People find Anupamaa very natural and just like how normal people in a family behave in reality. The compositions given to everyone are very nice. Plus, we all are so mischievous on the sets, so there is some or the other prank or funny things going around in between. We all sit together to have lunch and evening snacks and we have a very strong bond. This is a very big thing, according to me. This makes us more like a family performing the emotions, we actually feel while performing,” she says.
