It’s extremely nostalgic for me to have grown up watching this show and now voicing it, it’s really a full circle moment. I don’t think there is anyone in my generation who didn’t like and enjoy this crazy comedy. It is a privilege and an honor to be a part of this incredible game show. As an entertainer, my audiences have always appreciated the unique yet relatable characters I play, and I am happy to bring out my creative personality as ‘Titu Mama’. I hope the younger generation will love the show as much as we did.” Fans are eagerly waiting for this nostalgic reboot.
