After that Anand and Mouli became friends off screen and are often seen having fun with the child artists Vishesh Bansal (Karn) and Uziar (Shon) on the set.

"Mouli and I share the same birthday. We first met in Srinagar and when we started chatting we realised this fact and it just helped in breaking the ice between us. We also spoke about having similar traits as per our zodiac. Since then both of us have become really good friends. In fact, the entire unit is like a family now,” Anand said in a statement.

The show, which is aired on Sony Entertainment Television, is based on the life of Karna, the mythological character of Hindu epic “Mahabharata”.
