He added: "The content has changed but the audience still love to see the same old drama with spice as a fresher version."

Looks are very important for actors, asserted Mrunal, saying: "Yes, looks are important for an actor. However, at times it can go against you as the scenario has changed; With all the platforms, the approach towards casting has also changed so makers scripts are demanding more realistic faces."
