Shivin Narang last seen in Veera as Ranveer and Asmita Sood who played Meher in Badtameez Dil had a blast shooting for the TV series and especially shooting in Switzerland. Both Shivin and Asmita went to Switzerland for the first time. Shivin says, “The moments were great. The theme was DDLJ. I felt as if we are watching DDLJ. The train journey was beautiful. I met Asmita Sood first time she was a good companion for the travel and we became friends. Switzerland is known for watches, chocolates and cheese and I went to a popular Cheese and Chocolate factory. I gifted myself a Swiss watch as my birthday was on 7 August. It was a dream location and I will cherish the memories forever.
Asmita Sood says, “We visited Davos, Klosters and Zurich. The trip was of seven days. We visited Zurich, the place where Kajol (as Simran from DDLJ) misses her train. I tried to pose and get a small hint of her demeanor with similar styling and mannerisms but Kajol is Kajol after all and one, can't reach up to her level but since I'm a DDLJ fan, I did my little bit to live that moment while I was in Switzerland in that train”.
The series will air on Aajtak every weekend in 'Saas Bahu Aur Betiyaan' this month.
