"We are trying to have less melodrama, crying and all that in the show. We will try to handle the problems coming our way in the show naturally," Gautami said here Monday on the set of the show.
"Even when we face the problems in real life, there is no melodrama and this is what we will try to show in the show," added the actress who was last seen on the small screen in "Kyunki... Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi...". The actress was also seen in the hit movie "Student Of The Year".
Reportedly, "Khelti Hai..." was to go on-air Sep 9 onwards, but its launch has been delayed for unknown reasons, but the actress is hopeful and said: "I hope you (audience) like it when you watch it."
