She said, "10-12 days I shoot for 'Kasamh Se' where I play a typical Punjabi witty character and the rest of the month I shoot for 'Kyun Ki....'Sudha is the eldest mother or grand mother of television today which carry a lot of responsibility. She said that she feels the sense of responsibility and she maintains punctuality on the sets.

Commenting on the monotony of kyun ki...she said that people are still watching it because it is the best family serial running nowadays. She opined that if the show was bad then it would have been shut much before. She admits that the serials have gone through some bad phase but now it regains its popularity. "It is very difficult to maintain such a good rating," says Sudha.
