My character is of a simple orphan girl who is trying to find her footing in Mumbai. Having craved for love and sense of belonging all her life, Riddhima’s sole dream is to find love and marry the person. Completed besotted by Kabir, Riddhima not only starts falling in love with him but also in his trap that changes her life forever. I hope the audiences like what we have to offer and appreciate our efforts.”

I play the role of a top cop who is on the lookout of Vansh and becomes the bane of Riddhima’s existence. Riddhima is blinded by Kabir’s love and she takes his every spoken word as a command.
The vulnerability of each character in the show makes it a lot more exciting.I'm looking forward to the action packed high octane drama this show will deliver.The overall plotline and the chemistry between the characters will definitely resonate strongly with the audience and I am looking forward to it.”

While playing the role I got to do some amazing stunts like ride a flyboard in Goa and be a part of a high-octane car chase sequence. While there is a lot of action involved, my character also has an emotional side to him. This is a fun role and I am happy to be a part of such an interesting project.”
While the race is on to get back audiences, the launch of Ishq Mein Marjawan is the perfect opportunity to lure them back.
