Published by Parlour News

There are few characters in Indian television as unforgettable as Maya Sarabhai — the witty, impeccably dressed matriarch from the cult sitcom Sarabhai vs Sarabhai. Played with superb comic timing by Ratna Pathak Shah, Maya became a pop-culture icon after the show aired in 2004, thanks to her brutal takedowns of anything remotely “middle class,” especially her endearingly thrifty daughter-in-law, Monisha. Unsurprisingly, Ratna is often asked how much of Maya Sarabhai lives on in her off-screen persona. In a recent interview, she was posed the question again — and this time, her response was refreshingly candid. “Oh, no, a lot of me has gotten into her. I’m Maya Sarabhai, and very happily so,” she said. Ratna admitted that while she doesn’t have the same arsenal of “smart words” that writer-director Aatish Kapadia scripted for Maya, the character still reflects more of her real self than people imagine.
