I had watched couple of the episodes then and the way Sargun (Mehta) and Ravi (Dubey) had brought out Punjabi culture to screen was amazing. Their understanding about the story is tremendous and being actors themselves they have an exclusivity to it..
He added, "My character Sarab in the show is very vibrant, strong, and lovable; he is rooted to his culture and brings freshness to the storyline..."
