the TV show. Considering the audience's taste and today's times, we have made certain changes and have retained certain aspects from the novel. But we can't talk about it in detail as we want people to watch the show. All I can say is, I think the changes were needed," Bhansali said. Considering that Bhansali is a filmmaker himself, there have been occasions when he provided suggestions for the show. "I have been providing suggestions, at times they are taken and at other times not taken. I think they understand TV more than me...So they consider suggestions accordingly. Overall my experience has been wonderful...I have learnt a lot," he said. On the time span of the show, Bhansali said, "Depending on how the show is perceived by the audience we will decide on its time span." Actress Rani Mukherjee, who worked with Bhansali in films like 'Black' and 'Saawariya' had come to launch his debut TV show in Filmcity last night. Talking about Rani, Bhansali said, "I am happy that she is here to launch the show. It feels special. I must say there is no such actress like her (Rani), she is spectacular. It is fun to work with her. I owe a lot to Rani. It's great to have a friend and an actress like her." The show will go on air from February 25 -- Monday to Friday -- at 7.30 PM on Star Plus.
