Neha Rana on taking up Megha Barsenge

Taking about accepting the offer of Megha Barsenge, Neha Rana said, "I really got carried away with the story and the character when I heard the narration. It kind of moved me and made me think about what would I do if I were in the same situation. It is quite a different character and initially, I couldn't connect to the character, to be honest."

She added, "Because she is going through a range of emotions, but she needs to be strong. I wanted to take the challenge and my first reaction was that this story is quite different and is something that I was waiting for for a few months and thus, I took it up."

The Ishq Par Zor Nahi actress added, "Doing the show was the right decision, I feel, because I got the opportunity to work with great producers like Saurabh Tiwari and Sumit Sethi and Keval Sethi. Especially our Director Sangeeta Rao. It's amazing to see a female Director on the sets which I never got to see in my career span."

She added, "At times, people lose their interest and get lethargic but Neil and Kinshuk are quite pumped up and motivated, that's something that I've learned from them."

She concluded, "As an actress, I always prefer to rehearse my scenes well so that we get the flow and add improvisations too during the scene. I am so glad that both of my co-actors take initiative and supported me in my preparations for the scenes. It's great to work with the duo."
