Speaking about reuniting with husband Mohnish Bahl in the show, she further told TOI that, "He is a great actor and he has played his roles so well that you can't imagine anyone else playing that role whether it is a doctor, elder brother or a villain. For both of us, the script and the director has always been the most important and in Sanjeevani too, I felt that playing Dr Sid's (Namit Khanna) mother would be an interesting role. My daughter Pranutan has debuted this year in films, my husband is already doing a TV show and now with me joining him, we will again be and all- working family."

On a related note, Aarti Bahl started her acting career as a Bollywood actress and was popularly known as Ekta Sohini. She did films like 'Awwal Number', 'Saajan', 'Vaastav' among others. She has worked in TV shows like 'Saahil', 'Junoon' and was seen with Mohnish in 'Dill Mill Gayye' as Riddhima's mother and Dr. Shashank's second wife 'Padma'. Now, it'll be interesting to see if Aarti Bahl will enter 'Sanjivani' as 'Padma' or some new character.
