Challenges of the Role
Discussing the challenges of the role, Ashish concluded with insight. The challenge was balancing Raj's emotional openness with the intensity of the situations he faces, he explained. He worked hard to ensure Raj's love always feels real and sincere, never dramatic or over-the-top.
This careful balance makes Raj a relatable and compelling character for viewers. Ashish's dedication to the role shines through in his performance.
