But off-camera, especially with people I’m comfortable with, I do have a mischievous side. I’ve pulled a few harmless pranks over the years, sometimes on close friends, sometimes even at home, and the reactions are always worth it (laughs). It’s never anything over the top, just small moments to catch someone off guard and share a laugh”.

We spend so many hours together that these little pranks and fun interactions help break the routine and keep the environment easy and positive.

Twenty years back, they gave me a chance to be a part of their show ‘Saat Phere – Saloni Ka Safar’, and today they have once again trusted me with a beautiful show like ‘Tumm Se Tumm Tak’. Talking about being referred to as a TRP King, all I want to say is that as an artist, I just work hard, stay true to my art, and remain dedicated. The rest is destiny’s call”.
