"When I read the script, I felt an instant connection with the simple yet powerful story and just knew that I had to be a part of it. It has been an extremely satisfying experience portraying Dev. He's someone every individual can relate to. He's simple, dutiful, rooted in reality, but somewhere a dreamer whose hopeful and passionate side is unleashed by the girl-next-door, Meher. It's a simple story, but sometimes the simplest stories are the hardest to do justice to. I am grateful to the entire team for bringing their A-game every single day and helping each of us grow as actors. As an actor, I had the opportunity to portray a character with layers of emotions and conflicts, which made the experience truly fulfilling," he said.
