The characteristic of Tanvi is similar to what I am in real life and hence I could connect to the character. I got to learn a lot on the set since in long formats an actor can have their own space to showcase different range of emotions. I worked on my character by building back story. I am happy for the fact that I got such an amazing debut with Amazon Prime opposite one of the most loved person Zakir Khan", says Onima. 

Taking about working with Zakir, she says, "He is one of the most loved comedian in india and I was really excited when I got the part . It was very easy to work with him , we used to have lot of fun on the set . In high speed shots where we just had to laugh". If I had to pick one incident with Zakir which would also be most memorable was of a crying scene we had and that was difficult to do with Zakir since he is a positive and happy person", she says. 

Ask her what according to her is a good show "I feel the show should be relevant enough to cater to the masses. The characters should be build in a way that people should relate to it. My future plans is to act and this is just a stepping stone to betterment", she sums up.
