It has been an arduous journey for my team and me to bring this unique story to light, and I am thankful for having Disney+ Hotstar with us.”
Actor Zayn Ibad Khan said, “It has always been a dream to work with my idol Gul Khan, and I am elated that it has finally come true with Aashiqana. She is the name every actor in television wants to work with, and she has been an inspiration since the day I started working as an actor. To mark my OTT debut with Disney+ Hotstar has been a double whammy.”
Actor Khushi Dubey said, “My character in Aashiqana comes across as a girl next door waiting to fall in love in her youth. But that is just the surface, for as we progress into the story, we witness her grit to prove to society that she can be so much more. She has battles to fight and won’t give up till she unearths the truth. This fierceness in the female lead is what drew me to this project.”
