New Delhi: Producer-duo Binaifer Kohli and Sanjay Kohli who are known for shows like Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain and Happu Ki Ultan Paltan make a brilliant team and give their best when they work together, says Binaifer who says her husband and she have contrasting personalities and working styles that helps them work better.
“I want to thank my husband Sanjay Kohli and his team of writers, creative and director for everything. He handles things so beautifully. I am hyper and work-oriented. He is the cooling factor. He is very rooted. I am the soldier who goes to war and he is the general. He is very cool and much loved. He is really the king of comedy,” she says.
She adds that Sanjay’s dedication to his work is unmatchable. “Sanjay had Covid, and I told him, ‘Oh my god! this actress has got Covid and our stories have gone for a toss!’ And despite having Covid and pneumonia, he sat and made two stories and solved the problem. It’s his dedication towards his work which is amazing. Also, we believe in not stressing others out. Let us not spread the stress and centralise it and take care of it as far as we can, is how we think,” she says.
Binaifer is also looking forward to explore different genres and mediums this year.
“The changes that I want to bring this year is doing a web series maybe. I might make more comedy content, I have a couple of thrillers which I am looking at as well. I will do limited work at one time. I have learnt that we have to stay united, it’s teamwork that makes everything work, no one unit makes things work,” she says.
Though the producer is a workaholic, she restricts the number of shows to 2-3 in order to work with the best in the business. “Everybody cannot do everything at the same time. We do very limited work. We do three serials max at one time. We don’t cross that amount and might even reduce it to two. We like to enjoy our work. Work with good people who encourage us and appreciate what we are doing. Actors and technicians that we work with are nice, come on time, professionals. If it’s working like clockwork with happy vibes then it’s happy work. There is no sense in working in an unhappy scenario,” she says.
However, she feels that she needs to manage her time properly. “Time management has become a task to handle. I am a workaholic, the more work you give me, the happier I will be. If you give me free work also, I will be happy to do it. I don’t need to get paid. But time management is something I am not very good at,” she says.
