The reaction this accidental pregnancy gets from their grown up sons, Mr Kaushik’s mum, neighbours, friends, relatives is fun to watch. The consummate Neena Gupta makes for an attractive Mrs Kaushik and Gajraj Rao epitomises Mr Kaushik, a middle class railway employee and diffident husband who loves his wife.
