We see little of Sharad Kelkar in the second season of The Family Man, but his
character Arvind still manages to intrigue viewers.
Just what happened between Arvind and Priyamani's Suchi when they spent a night
together in Lonavala?
Sharad refuses to spill the beans, even as he tells Patcy N/Rediff.com, "An
attraction is bound to happen because Suchi is not getting love from her house."
After 'Why did Kattappa kill Baahubali', another burning question is what exactly
happened between Arvind and Suchi in Lonavala?
Raj (Nidimoru) and (Krishna) DK are so mean... the second season ended with the
scene where Suchi is trying to come clean with Srikant as to what happened in
Lonavala.
I don't know, you have to ask Raj, DK and Suman (Kumar, writer).
When I meet Raj and DK next, I will force them to tell me!

What feedback did you get about the show?
Not only Manoj (Bajpayee) sir, but even the smallest characters are getting
recognition.
All credit goes to Raj, DK, Suman and Suparn (Verma, director), who created the
show and Amazon Prime Video who had faith in it.

All the actors from Tamil Nadu were brilliant.
Hats off to Samantha (Akkineni), who is the talk of the town. The role she has
pulled off, it's awesome!
In fact, DK's wife Anu (Anuradha Sharma, associate producer), who is a dear friend,
was telling me, 'Being a producer, I was missing you on the show.'
I asked her to say that to Raj and DK!
Having said that, the story did not have that scope because a new track was going
on -- Dhriti's track -- which was important in this season.
It's not an alien thought because when you work somewhere, even during shoots,
people become best friends.
The problem is not just because of Arvind and Suchi, it's because of Suchi and
Srikant.
What's happening in their lives is creating problems and I think Arvind can be a
catalyst to it.
Her children have grown up, so they don't give much importance to the mother.
She is a working woman, but she's not satisfied with her job.
An attraction is bound to happen because Suchi is not getting love from her house.
These are very common things, but we normally don't discuss it.
He is friends with Suchi and he wants her betterment. He understands that she's a
working woman and wants her own independence.

But Srikant's fans are calling you a home-breaker.
I am getting messages on social media like 'Kahe ko peecha kar rahe ho', 'Leave
Suchi alone', 'Leave Suchi for Srikant'...
That's why he says, 'Hamare yahan shaadi hoti hai yaa nahi hoti hai. Break time
nahi hota hai.'
There are people who treat it, like psychiatrists and counselors, but first you
have to identify people who are going through mental health issues.
In fact, until a few years ago, I didn't have any idea of depression or mental
health.
I think everyone should attend or at least read or watch videos about how to handle
somebody going through these problems.
I have been asking her to watch it and telling her it's not all action, but she is
avoiding it.
Because of her, I have to watch action movies and shows in the living room. I can't
watch them in the bedroom.
I think once they are back, they will reunite and start brainstorming.
You should not fear because fear cause health issues. So I was not scared.
I started working last August, and haven't stopped since then.
I was taking precautions, from wearing a mask, to sanitising and social distancing.
I was working on projects where no touching and physical intimacy was required.
The Tamil film Ayalaan, Bhuj: The Pride of India and Deja Vu will release this
year.
