Actors, crew and the producers of the show Sonali Jaffar and Amir Jaffar bid an emotional adieu to the show that did well for the last three years.   “My take away from Tujhse Hai Raabta is that no matter how small a budget you have, no matter whether you are working with relatively newer people, your story will go a long way provided it’s told from the heart. And it’s the performances, presentation and relatable factor that do wonders. Raabta survived because it held on to all these things till the very end,” says producer and writer Sonali Jaffar.   Sharing memories of making the show, she reveals an incident about Arzan, the child artist who plays the role of Pilu. “Arzan spoke his first word and also took his first step on the set.

I came to Bombay in 1993. After finishing my studies, I started working in different fields— from advertising to Marketing to television. My first work after college was with Provogue as a marketing executive, then I joined Spykar jeans and after that television happened. I worked for Doordarshan for a show that was produced by Mr. Subhash Ghai’s ‘Mukta Arts’ and a friend.
