After directing many small television advertisements, his first major break was with Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi which was among the first sitcoms on Indian television.
He is most known for his dialogues for comedy TV serials of the 1980s including Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi, and Vikram Aur Vetal.
The episodes revolved around funny happenings in the lives of Ranjit Verma (played by actor Shafi Inamdar) and Renu Verma (played by actress Swaroop Sampat, a former Miss India 1979), who play a married couple along with Renu's unmarried and unemployed younger brother Raja (Rakesh Bedi).

However, with the huge popularity of the show, a repackaged second attempt was made with the underlying idea that Ranjit and Renu have moved abroad because of his work, while Raja is still staying with Ranjit's aunt, played by the legendary actress Farida Jalal, and a male servant, played by Javed Khan.
