Deven Bhojani responds to Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai's 'Dushyant memes' taking over the internet during the Microsoft outage
Deven Bhojani aka Dushyant opens up on becoming the subject of memes during Microsoft outage recently, while discussing the falling level of Indian sitcoms.
When the Microsoft outage brought life to a standstill, actor-director Deven Bhojani became the center of attention for memers across the country. His character Dushyant from Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai—he is a technology enthusiast—and his catchphrase 'I'll explain' made it to the list of memes, and even he enjoyed them to the hilt. "Feel really good about it, as an actor and a director too because all my characters become so popular, including Dushyant," he says.
Bhojani asserts that many people still don’t know that he directed the sitcom as well, apart from featuring in it. "I want the audience to know that the show they love so much, I have not only acted in it but created it as well. It isn't the first time that I have seen Dushyant memes take over the internet." He says that after Oppenheimer came out in 2023, people made memes saying, "Only Dushyant can interpret the film Nolan conceived it to be.". "Also, 'Only Dushyant can explain Nirmala Sitharamam's budget to public' memes came in afterward," he says.
Now that the show is back in the news, does he feel a third season for Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai should be made? "After the first season, people had been asking for season 2 and I, along with producers JD Majethia and Aatish Kapadia, were contemplating whether we should go for it. So when we finally did the second season, we did it well to quite an extent, not really fully. And we felt that maybe the bar that we had put for ourselves would be really hard to reach that high again. We have mutually decided that until and unless we come up with an idea which we are 110 percent sure is going to be loved by the audience, will we go for it," he responds.
