Armaan Jain reveals

Set to release on November 21, this show will take fans through a nostalgic lunch with the Kapoor family. Directed by Smriti Mundhra, it is the creation of Producer Armaan Jain. Recently, in an interview, he finally answered the most-asked question about the show, why the youngest Kapoor bahu, and one of Bollywood’s biggest stars, was missing from a family get-together. "She had prior commitments to shoot," he clarified. "I might sound filmy, but like Raj Kapoor said, work is worship," he told Bollywood Hungama.

Director Smriti Mundhra also agrees to the same, "That is the one thing about this family. They are all workaholics, and they all love what they do. Everyone tries to gather and prioritise family time, but inevitably one or two people can’t make it because of work, and that’s always allowed.”

Armaan further stated that “Every function it happens, literally Christmas get-togethers, Diwali get-togethers. It happens.”
