When it comes to reading the script and comprehending the lines before getting in front of the camera, initially I used to find it slightly difficult because of the use of shudh Hindi, but with the support of my co-actor Naman Arora and a little pre-production research and reading, I am have got the dialect right. My crew is quite helpful, since they are always willing to help me with any word or phrase in the script. I can easily approach anyone and ask for assistance, which has simplified the procedure. After packing up, I watch a few YouTube videos on language improvement and read shudh Hindi stories and articles to improve my command of the language. I’m confident that I’ll become an expert at it in some point. I’m thrilled to be a part of this show, which not only allows me to enhance my acting skills but also to improve my language and dialect.”
