- In an interview, Siddharth spoke about his cult series Gujjubhai and said:
First, compare this series to Coca-Cola. It was never a drink, it became one by accident and now it is an unrivaled brand. So does Gujjubhai. This was not premeditated. I just gave the show a name, GUJJUBHAI GAAM GAJAVYU and it was a huge success and the producers felt we should use that name again so we made LAGE RAHO GUJJUBHAI which was another one in my life turning point. 750 performances in three years, I don’t think any other show has done as well. This could have continued, but fatigue had set in and everyone felt we should do something else. In fact, I ended it with a sold-out show. This cemented the name of the brand. None of the stories are similar or continuous, and the only constant in the show is me. “
