After Doordarshan started re-running TV shows like Ramayan and Mahabharat who are garnering amazing viewership owing to coronavirus scare, other channels are also now trying to grab the attention of the audience as they bring back shows from the past.

Popular comedy serials Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai and Khichdi will also now be aired every morning at 10 am on Star Bharat, the channel tweeted.

"16 saal baad, Indravadan aa raha hai milne aapse fir ek baar. Dekhiye Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai April 6 se subah 10 baje. Sirf Star Bharat par, (Indravadan shall meet you after 16 years. Watch Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai from April 6, every day at 10 am)," the tweet read.

Featuring Satish Shah, Ratna Pathak, Rajesh Kumar, Sumeet Raghavan, and Rupali Ganguly, Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai first aired on Star One in 2004. A second season of the show was also created recently for HotStar.

In another tweet, Star Bharat also announced the return of Khichdi tweeting, "18 saal baat Praful aa raha hai appse milne. Dekhiye Khichdi April 6 se subah 11 baje, sirf Star Bharat par (Praful is coming to meet you after 18 years. Watch Khichdi every day at 11 am)."

2002 comedy show Khichdi starred Supriya Pathak, Vandana Pathak, Rajeev Mehta, Jamnadas Majethia, among others. Both the shows were written and directed by Aatish Kapadia and were a major hit among the audiences who loved the dynamics of the shows. 

For the uninformed, Doordarshan is airing comedies Dekh Bhai Dekh and Sriman Srimati, apart from mythological serials Ramayan and Mahabharat.
