Joining the iconic series Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai is a significant milestone. How did this opportunity arise for you?

It came about quite naturally. After the show's seven-year leap, I received an offer for a cameo role. Initially, I was hesitant since I had never done a cameo before. However, upon learning that it was from Rajan sir, I immediately agreed. My respect and connection with him played a crucial role in my decision.

Have you collaborated with Rajan Shahi in the past?

No, this marks my first project with Director’s Kut Productions. However, I had a memorable encounter with Rajan sir previously, where he complimented my talent, which left a lasting impression on me.

Now, just three months later, you find yourself working with him. How does that feel?

It feels like fate. That brief meeting and his kind words resonated with me, and when this opportunity presented itself, it felt right on every level—professionally, personally, and emotionally.
