How do you manage your time between college and shoot?

Well, honestly it is not that tough, after all if you enjoy something that you do, you’d always find time to do it. I do juggle between my on-screen and off-screen college days and it is fun, tiring and equally exciting. My college authorities, lecturers and the production unit together have been quite supportive!

Will we see a change in your character Naina?

Absolutely, there will be a complete change of track, look and feel of the characters, and the show itself. Now, Naina will be in her late teens! She has a lot of new dreams and aspirations. It will be a visual delight and a nostalgic moment for our viewers. 

Has your role managed to strike a chord with the audience?

I am playing a very strong character, which surely connects with the viewers.

What is the one thing that you are looking forward to?

I truly feel that my school days are finally over and that excitement of moving to college is more of a natural feeling for me. Like any other girl who is about to start her college, I have butterflies in my stomach. I am excited and nervous at the same time. It truly feels like a new phase in my life.

How is Ashi Singh in real life?

I am very focused in life, like the way my character Naina is.
