Agga Bai Sasubai fans were happy to hear the news of Ajoba being back on the show and expressed their delight in the comment section. Many users said that even though ‘Ravi Kaka’ will be missed, they were excited to see Mohan Joshi playing Ajoba’s role. “Good replacement. But there will still be a special part of Ravi Patwardhan🙏🙏”, a user commented.
Currently, on the show, Soham seems to have realized his mistakes and wishes for his aai to come back. He even breaks down in front of Shubhra and expresses how much he misses his mother. Even though Asawari is adamant about not forgiving Soham, it is possible that with Ajoba being back on the show, he may be able to unite his family again. What do you think will happen?
