When first asked about how he got the art, Ali said, “All auditions are happening from home, we are setting up our ring light and giving auditions. So I got to know from a casting director, who usually takes auctions from his office. But this time, he told me to send it from home. It was during the afternoon time, and he told me it was on a very urgent basis. I sent it right away and I had to give it 2-3 tries with different looks. I thought they must be sending this to everyone. After a couple of days, I got shortlisted and then selected for the role. I got to know that many people sent in their auditions and stuff, but what they wanted in Vikram, was the way I spoke, the way I gave my introduction. It aligned with what the character of Vikram was and I found out that I was onboard."

On asked about what the X-factor of his character is, he said, “So, when you get selected for the show, we have to have a meeting with Ekta ma'am and discuss the characters, so she sits with the whole team. Characters from the girl's family and the guys family to the leads, the supporting characters as well, she talks to everyone and gives her full 5 minutes to each person. She told me, "See Ali, your character is Vikram, who is Reyansh’s best friend but then you will not support him every time if he is wrong. You point that out and you stand up for what is right. So, the way I was performing it, slowly, because you can’t just get it right on the first day, as the story develops the character develops, I understood. I think the plus point was, that when I met Kushal on-set, he was so sweet. So it was fun performing our scenes. I think the audiences connected because he and I connect as people. We crack jokes without saying too much. There is a vibe and when that happens. It becomes easy to relate to. I got a lot of messages on social media with so much love. When you are walking out, people do recognize you and it’s just an amazing feeling, getting this love for a performance”.

Ali is currently seen playing the role of Vikram in Balaji Telefilm’s Barsatein on Sony TV.
