Diya Aur Baati Hum completes 500 episodes

One more gem gets added to the crown of GECs’ number one daily soap Diya Aur Baati Hum (Shashi Sumeet Mittal Productions Pvt Ltd.) Today (12 July 2013), the show completes its 500th episode.
Yes, you heard it right; this family drama is 500 episodes old now.

In today’s television era where TV shows struggle to survive; Diya Aur Baati Hum has stood victorious. Hence, today is definitely a proud moment for the team.

Said an overjoyed Deepika Singh aka Sandhya, “When I had joined the show, my target was to complete six months as some very good shows were managing to stay on air that long. Apart from that, I was a fresher but as days passed by, I felt I’d also get replaced in a month or two as my character was really demanding. But we have sailed through all of that to reach this position and the credit goes to our team and fans. In fact I can’t thank God enough for this.”

So where’s the party tonight? “I have never been this happy even on my birthday; so I will be partying post our shoot, provided we leave a bit early,” averred the actress.

A very proud Anas Rashid aka Suraj observed, “It’s an honourable moment for us as we have been successful in what we have done. And as we grow 500 episodes old, we have this feeling of being strong and more mature.”

Congratulations to the team of Diya Aur Baati Hum!!!
