As the show is all set for the release, TellyChakkar got in touch with Ankit, who spoke about taking up Kundali Milan, his co-star and much more.
What were your thoughts before taking up this show?
The show is produced, written and directed by Arvind Babbal. So, there were no second thoughts about me taking up this show. He explained everything to me - about my character and the overall brief of the show. The only doubt I had was whether it will fit budget-wise (laughs). But, I was super convinced with the story. I have known Arvind ji for a very long time and have full faith in his vision. Also, I am very excited as I am making a comeback on-screen after a very long time. The story and the characters are so well-written that I am just waiting for it to come on-screen. People would love it.
How has been your experience working with Shubhanshi, whom you are going to romance on the show?
I really adore Shubhanshi and she is super cute. She is actually the character that you see on-screen. She is a simple girl, very innocent, bubbly and cute. My experience has been great working with her.
Did you have any preparations for your role?
I have tried to bring newness to my character. I don't know how people will perceive it. This is the first time that I am doing a shirtless scene on television. I am very nervous about that particular scene than the entire show. That's the preparation that I did. I did not get a lot of time to prepare myself as we had to start shooting outdoors. But, whatever time I got, I had to focus on my physique.
Lastly, revealing about the qualities Ankit relates to his character, he said, "I think he loves like a madman. He is very clear about who he loves and how he loves. That is something which I am in real life."
Ankit had a great time shooting with the star cast and calls them his family. They all eat and have fun together on the set. That's his favourite part of shooting.
Stay tuned to TellyChakkar for all the latest updates.
