The ongoing COVID-19 lockdown is likely to continue for two more weeks, there is good news for couch potatoes. Given the good response to the re-telecast of several old popular TV shows among new-age audiences, Sony SAB has decided to re-run its hit sitcom "Office Office".

The show stars Pankaj Kapur as retired schoolmaster Mussaddi Lal Tripathi, and narrates his struggles to get work done in corrupt offices in a satirical manner.

The brilliantly-written and executed show that made Ekta Kapoor a



household name will be aired from April 13 at noon. While neither the show makers or the channel have said anything,the latest media reports suggest that its a done deal. Hum Paanch, which was originally aired in 1995, starred Ashok Saraf, Shoma Anand, late Priya Tendulkar in lead roles. Saraf and Anand played Mr and Mrs Mathur. they had five daughters. At one point, Vidya Balan was also part of the show. Tendulkar used to play Saraf's first wife, who was dead, and would talk to him from her photo! Hum Paanch is not the only show that will see a rerun.
