Yeah, so that’s the big challenge for me but I am an actor at the end of the day and I like to play different sorts of roles and characters and romance is of course a big part of our cinema as well so it’s something I knew that before I signed up so.”

I apologised to her after I saw the entire series! I was like, how have I done this? Meri ye majaal kaha se aayi (How dare I)! She is amazing and that is the beauty of having such a fine actor in front of you because they give you the boost to do better. This is Manisha Koirala, who we have grown up watching, who has an amazing body of work. I thought I am in front of her, so I better do something good. It is such a pleasure to have that banter with each other, you are fully into it. I enjoyed working with Manisha mam.”
