The makers were very certain that they wanted Sudanshu for this specific role and there was no competition with anyone else.

Well, we guess that the makers realized that no one would be able to play this part like Sudanshu does, a role which is also such a stark difference from his real sweet demeanor.

Meanwhile, on the show, Both Vanraj and Anupama are struggling with Paakhi going missing and what their next step should be like.
