The character and his personality attracted me, as Ambhi Kumar had no limitation and abided by no rules. I was quite curious of the role. While preparing for the character I was very cautious, as the role is carefree but at the same time I had to make sure that it does not look over the top and there is no inhibition while I perform. Getting to know that I will be working again with Faisal just added to my excitement. I am going to play a character extremely contrasting to my previous role and I have got an opportunity to showcase my versatility and feel fortunate to be associating myself with Sony Entertainment Television again.”
