What kind of role are you playing?

I am playing a negative lead in the show. I am seen as Archana's sister-in-law's brother who owns the cafe. Ankita is his employee. I really like Archana and want to marry her. My character is negative and Archana doesn't like me. I am playing various tricks to get Archana in my life.

What was your reaction when you were offered a part in Ekta Kapoor's big show?

I have worked with many renowned production houses. I have never worked with ALT Balaji before. I always wanted to do a role in an ALT Balaji web series where I can have enough screen space. I wanted my character to look extremely expressive. God heard my prayers and I got such a nice role.

How has your experience been with Ankita and Shaheer?

I did not feel that Ankita is the lead actress of the series. Her seniority level is much higher than I have. We have a lot of fun off-screen. Also, I share a sister-like bond with my co-star and on-screen sister Abidnya. Ankita is a very lively person. She creates a fun atmosphere on the sets in between the scenes. Shaheer too is a good person to work with. 

Pavitra Rishta 2.0 is streaming on ALT Balaji from today onwards.
