the camera hi badi hai.”
Manish Raisinghani speaks about co-star Avika Gor
While exclusively talking to us on
TellyTalkIndia/Zoom, Manish Raisinghani AKA Siddhant explained, "
Pehli cheez ye tha ki hum troll na kar diye jaye, kyunki hum dono mein major age difference tha. Mughe ye bhi nahi pata tha ki Avika itni badi ho gayi hai ki we will be able to be a romantic couple. But it started and we tried to keep it very cute, scenes worked absolutely well. We used to do our own scenes kyunki likhke aata tha that 'let them so their own bit'. And thats how it just grew, grew, grew.(Translation: The first concern was that we shouldn’t end up getting trolled, because there was a major age difference between the two of us. I also didn’t realize Avika had grown up so much that we could convincingly be a romantic couple.But once it started, we tried to keep it very cute, and the scenes worked absolutely well. We used to do our own scenes because it was written that ‘let them do their own bit.’ And that’s how it just grew, grew, and grew)."On their off-screen bond, he mentioned, "We learnt so much together. Today I can say she is a wholesome showman and I am a wholesome showman for a simple reason that we have grown together. We fell in love with the craft and that journey was beautiful. I has been a crazy journey."

During the conversation, he also mentioned when he faced a 'casting couch' experience saying, "You have never dealt with it. I am not a phobic, mere friends bhi hai and they are very close to my heart. But agar koi aapko impose karta hai suddenly toh the feeling is not good. There has been a time mai legit bhaaga hu kisi ke ghar se. Later you get used to it and know ki you do not have to cross a line. I have met fantastic people, once you say no, they respect it."Check out the complete interview here:
