Saanand Verma as Shahenshah
Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai actor Saanand Verma, who plays Anokhe Lal Saxena in the comedy, dressed up like Amitabh Bachchan in Shahenshah (1988) for a sequence. Saanand donned the avatar of Amitabh Bachchan's classic role of Shahenshah for his show Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain produced by Sanjay and Benaiferr Kohli under their production house Edit II.
The actor said that the feeling was absolutely surreal. "It was an awesome experience. Wearing that 15 kg costume was ultimate. I felt like Shahenshah, I really felt like the king of TV because nobody has ever tried that kind of costume. It was so heavy. I inserted a lot of iron stones in my costume so that I get that a bulky look because I have a thin body frame and I wanted that bulky look, so I padded it up. I put a lot of different metals inside the costume. It was a great feeling. I was feeling like Shahenshah and Amitabh Bachchan," he said.
