Hey all!
Since the past couple of months there have been quite many rumours & questions if Asambhav is about to end. Considering the fast pace at which the serial is moving forward, it only confirms the doubts. Today I just happened to check the Zee Marathi Schedule on Zee Marathi Website and I discovered that the 8:30 pm & 11.00 pm slots display New Daily Soap against them from 17th Aug 2009.
Well sometimes this information source is not 100% reliable. But what if it is this time? Is Asambhav really gonna end? Which other serial will replace Asambhav? Since the last couple of days a promo of a new show called "तिसरी घंटा" is being relayed...will this show likely replace Asambhav?
If Asambhav does end, we will surely miss an interesting serial & ofcourse also Dr Samant. But lets keep our fingers crossed. And in the meantime we have something more interesting to look forward to .... the Zee Marathi Awards.
Aug 7, 2009
Hey guys seems the last date for voting for the ZMA-2009 has been extended upto 10th Aug.!
'Best character - male' category as
Dr. Viraj Samant of Asambhav &
Vishal Pandey of Kalat Nakalat...
To vote online go to http://zeemarathi.com/ZMAwards2009.aspx
Guess there's no restriction on the number of votes per person.
Since both his nominations are in the same category, if all of us vote unanimously for the more popular character of Dr. Viraj Samant, the probability of Sunil winning the Award will be higher than when the votes get divided between his two nominations.
The last date for voting is 2nd Aug 2009.
Lets make sure that he wins by a larger margin

Story at a glance:
The Deshmukh family lives together in ‘Ashray' an old house in Mumbai. The patriarch of the family Anna (Sudhir Joshi) is an ex-freedom fighter and likes to write letters to the editor demanding a ban on nuclear weapons. His wife Mai (Prema Sakhardande) is a loving woman and is like a mother to her daughters-in-law. Their eldest son Prabhakar (Sanjay Mone) and his wife (Suhas Joshi) have three children - Prashant (Sunil Barve), Anand (Bharat Jadhav) and Alka. Their younger son Bal (Bal Karve) and his wife Shalini (Amita Khopkar) have two daughters -Latika and Kalika.
The family is close knit and bound together by values. However, minor differences do occur. One point of discussion in the house is whether they should sell the old house and make way for a tower where they can all be accommodated in separate flats. Living in a joint family the younger generation is always pampered and protected which they feel is a real obstacle in their growth process when facing the harsh realities of the outside world. Each has a unique mindset & are eager to explore the abundance of experiences outside their sheltered nest. But despite their idealogies how they stand by their family & each other in the times of crisis is the essence of the story.
The serial is written & directed by Pratima Kulkarni. One easily identifies with some or the other character of the Deshmukh family. The fun moments shared by the family members, the support they receive from each other & their unity in times of need is endearing to one & all!
About Sunil's Character :

Women have always been synonymous with the word ‘homemaker’. Over time things have changes and a woman is now expected to juggle various roles that society thrusts upon her. She is expected to fulfil all these roles, but not without a consequence. The consequence of questioning her intent & integrity every time she steps beyond the boundary of her home.
She sacrifices almost everything, yet she is condemned at every step. Is this fair? We try and answer all questions through Indu, who is forced by her husband to become an earning member of the family. She does. She succeeds in becoming a perfect mix of being a home maker and a provider. Yet, there are consequences. This time it’s her very own husband who is irked by her success and starts questioning her morals & integrity.
Through her courage & determination, Indu lives the plight of every woman who fulfills all the roles that society had decided for her. But, society doesn’t even bother to understand and her the desperate truth before it judges her or questions her.
This show deals with the current relevant middle class quandary, where-in it’s a taboo for the ‘bahu’ to step out of the house and be the bread earner for the family. With no experience on her side, Indu is faced with hurdles at work, family & in-laws. Facts are distorted, faith is questioned, yet Indu is not shaken, she succeeds in her endevaours.
This story is of a working middle class woman who fights to keep together her marriage and her family even though she is faced with opposition from all quarters.

Asambhav is a story based on re- incarnation. The story begins with the engagement of Adinath Shastri and Sulekha. Due to unavoidable circumstances, Adinath ends up marrying Shubhra. Sulekha is hurt and vows to take revenge by destroying the Shastri family.
Shubhra keeps getting visions but cannot understand their meaning. With the help of Dr Samant, Shubhra realizes that she is the re-incarnation of Parvati. Her husband Adinath was married to her in her previous birth too and his name was Mahadev. Sulekha was called Indumati in her previous birth. Indumati had tried to grab the wealth of the Shastri family and Parvati had tried to stop her from doing so.
The three lead characters continue their mission in this birth too. Adinath and Shubhra try to save the Shastri family from Sulekha. As the mission unfolds, many secrets of the past are unveiled.
Will this fight between the good and evil continue or will it end in this life? We have to keep watching Asambhav to find out ;-)

After their daughter Pihu’s birth Tanishka’s strange meditation practices on their daughter becomes a point of heated arguments between them & eventually results in their separation.
As a psychiatrist who is treating Shubhra, Dr. Samant becomes the catalyst for making her aware of her past birth as Parvati. In this process he too starts getting visions about his past birth as Shrirang Ranade & his connections to the Shastri family at that time. Meanwhile, Tanishka is helping the hurt Sulekha to master her psychic skills to accomplish her revenge on the Shastri family.
His past birth as Shrirang Ranade is that of a happy go lucky person who is a good friend of Mahadev Shastri & works for the Britishers. He is also a photographer by hobby.
Sunil Barve has used certain mannerisms & made subtle changes in his looks n style to distinguish between the two characters. He rendered a deep tone to his voice for portraying the mature & sophisticated image of a seasoned psychiatrist. He adopted the attire of an English Man complete with a beret(cap) and a scarf to suit the elite gentleman of the olden days. He is also wearing colored contacts & rimless glasses for a more subtle distinction.

Even being rejected by her at that time, Vishal stands by her side in all her personal traumas & professional difficulties. Madhura who is managing the affairs of her husband’s company falls in love with an employee of her company who is also incidentally a look alike of her late husband. Vishal who recognizes the sinister intentions of Rohit goes out of his way to explain to Madhura that she has been blinded by Rohit’s wit and tries to prove him wrong every time.
