Abhishek Nigam on how the experience of Alibaba: Daastane-E- Kabul shaped him

After the major controversy following lead actress Tunisha Sharma's death, Alibaba: Daastan-E-Kabul was a sinking ship, and many thought the show would shut down. However, Abhishek Nigam agreed to replace Sheezan Khan in the show and revived the show.

When asked how that decision and experience transformed him as an actor and an individual, he said, "I always go with my heart. I don't believe in taking shortcuts or taking up easy things because I feel whatever comes easy doesn't really last for long, and thus, I always like to do challenging roles and take up parts that excite me."

He added, "I'm at a stage of my life wherein I'm learning a lot of things; I would want to explore multiple characters and roles to polish my craft. I am taking it all as a lesson and taking notes from past experiences and mistakes along with positive things that have happened so far."
