Priyal said, “I was pleasantly surprised to know that Indian television is moving on from the saas-bahu saga. “Talking about his character, he shared, “Neil is a multi-faceted character. I have a warm, friendly face, and hence I have always been cast as the ‘good guy.’ But this time, I am excited to bring a different element to my performance.”

As for the preparations, he didn’t have to do much. He said, “To be honest, there wasn’t much time to prepare for the role, but as an actor, every audition is a prep in itself. You have to be ready to grab the opportunity when it knocks at your door. Neil is quite different from who I am in real life, but once I understood his character arc, I was able to embody his mannerisms and thought process.”
