Mohan Joshi is under spotlight as he takes up Ravi Patwardhan's mantle in Agga Bai Sasubai

Veteran actor Ravi Patwardhan had earlier gained immense popularity with his character as Aajoba in Marathi TV show Aggabai Sasubai. Ravi Patwardhan passed away on December 6, 2020. Ravi Patwardhan had been missing from the show because of the guidelines issued by the government for senior actors, ever since the lockdown was lifted, but his character kept making an appearance once a while. After his demise, the makers have now decided to cast senior actor Mohan Joshi for the role of Aajoba.
