In an exclusive interaction of TellyChakkar, he spoke about Aadha Isq’s love story, his bond with his co-stars, and much more.

What was your first reaction when you heard the character and story?

I was quite intrigued when I heard the story. It is basically a love story but has many twists to it. It is a love story that will keep you hooked till the end. The web series is shot in Kashmir, so it reminded me of old-school romance. And as an actor, I have never done this kind of a role before. As actors, we always hunt for new types of roles.

Have there been any changes in your equation with the cast?

Well, there are a lot of differences. Since we spent quality time together, now, it is not a formal relationship. As we had met for the first time, we had reading sessions in the beginning. We used to read our scripts, talk, and eat. It became an ice-breaking session for all of us. Prior to shooting, Aamna and I attended many workshops so that our chemistry works.

Have you seen any of the work of your co-stars?

So when I was at boarding school, we were not allowed to see TV, but I when I used to come home, I used to watch Kahiin Toh Hoga with my family. In this way, I knew Aamna. I know Kunal from his films like Delhi Belly and Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani. Pratibha and I met for the first time on the set. But now, we are very cordial to each other and it is fun to shoot.

Good luck, Gaurav!
