Paresh Ganatra besides being one of TV’s finest actors is also one of the biggest pranksters. On the sets of Chidiyaghar he is the mastermind behind all pranks.. recently even senior most actor Rajendra Gupta (Babuji) too fell for one and had the unit members in splits!!!

Chidiya Ghar current track will see everyone recreating the magic of Mughal era through the story of Akbar and Birbal. Rajendra Gupta plays Akbar and Gomukh plays Birbal who along with other cast members are seen in colourful Mughal attires depicting their respective roles. Their majestic enactment is certain to provide their audiences with a rich visual treat. As the track comes to an end, the family understands that devising an evil plot for someone else’s downfall normally results into your own.

Ghotak (played by Paresh Ganatra) who will be playing the role of a barber in the track needed to shave Babuji in a sequence. Along with the help of other cast members he pretended that the razor which was to be used for shaving had a real blade. After they finished shooting for the scene, the truth was finally revealed to Babuji. Although Rajendra Gupta was startled for a moment, he soon had a hearty laugh with other cast members

Rajendra Gupta exclaimed, “Everyone is like a family and we have a lot of fun on the sets. Usually Paresh and I play pranks on everyone but this time I was fooled by him. It was more surprising to see everyone was a part of the prank along with him. Soon we all had a good laugh about it”
