Actor Abhinav Sharma, who portrays the role of Mayank in the show, revealed his first reaction to the script, saying, “When I first read the script, I was totally invested in the world brilliantly crafted by our writer, Shantanu. In fact, I felt compelled to take on this role. I couldn’t wait to embrace the opportunity of embodying a character unlike any I have portrayed before. My initial reaction was simply, ‘Let’s just do it!’”
Abhinav further added, “It was an enriching experience to portray a character from a completely different background. Playing Mayank enabled me to broaden my horizons as an artist. Additionally, going to set each day was incredibly exciting, as I got to connect with like-minded, talented individuals!”
