I was really happy that I got such a When I first got the call from Sanket sir for the show, he has been someone who introduced me to the world of casting, by just knowing the names Mr Mohomad Morani, Anil Jha, Mazhar Nadiyadwala, i couldn't resist the offer. I always wanted to work with Anil Sir and I got the best opportunity. The team is absolutely amazing, all of them are soo down to earth. My creative team Mitali Majethia, Deepal Sethia and Tanu Tiwari have been extremely supportive towards me. The journey has been interesting till now. They have been my support system.

Yes, talking about Anjali she was my first choice for the show, I had tried contacting her through Instagram, at first she had denied and we had looked out for options but then I was quite persistent on casting Anjali. Avinesh had happened last minute as he was doing Choti Sarrdaarni when we had approached him. Well, the cast is absolutely amazing. Talking about their bond, I have a great bond with them, both of them are really sweet and down to earth. 

What are your views on Casting Couch?

Casting Couch only happens when there are such people, one definitely needs to be cautious of the job profile. It does come with immense responsibility, because of some elements in the society the word, the field casting is not looked into the correct light. I feel that there are good and bad people everywhere, one shouldn't take advantage of their seat. This chair gives you bread and butter, It is definitely not the case with me. But I have witnessed a lot of it around me.
