TellyChakkar got in touch with Sai who spoke about his new journey in Imlie and much more.

What were your thoughts before taking up this show as it was an ongoing show which already has a loyal set of audience?

My first thought after listening to the story line and the role description given to me was that I got interested instantly and I said that I am ready to do it. Yes, there is a loyal audience out there of Imlie and we all are here to take it forward, making it an even larger audience for the future. Previously Sumbul, Gashmeer, Fahman, Karan & Megha have made the show to a larger level and now it’s our responsibility to take it even more ahead. And I know the audience will be loving the fresh pair along with the story line

Your look is a major highlight of the show. What was your first reaction when you saw yourself in this look?

Oh yes, I loved it 100 percent! This is definitely a different approach. In the early stages while designing I was quite reluctant and was thinking about how it would be done, but after the shoot of promo with the new style I am loving it all the way.

The first promo itself shows how arrogant Agastya is as he is some richie rich guy. How did you prepare yourself for the role?

Well, the richie rich attitude was always placed from my first show thought, so I didn't have to induce a lot over that. But this time, it’s different with subtle qualities. Also, I have to portray a person who is knowledgeable about business and money. A lot of reading was done.

Imlie season 3 will telecast from 11th September onwards. 

Stay tuned to TellyChakkar for all the latest updates.
