What is the show all about?
The show is a classic folk tale of Aladdin, which is packed with elements of light-hearted comedy, adventure, romance and a lot of drama.
What do you like about your character?
I have never attempted such type of a role. This is first time I am playing a warrior princess, Yasmin. It is a very powerful and interesting role.
How did you bag the role?
I got a call from the production house, Peninsula Pictures, and after my look test, I was selected for this role.
How does it feel to essay Princess Yasmin in the show?
I am on cloud nine and think it is an honour for me to be chosen for this role.
What is your equation with Sidharth Nigam,
your co-star?
Siddharth Nigam is a talented actor and best friend to work with. We learn from each other and are comfortable on the sets.
Which show would you consider a turning point in your career?
I got a lot of appreciation for Jhalak Dikhla Ja Season 5, where I performed with Taare Zameen Par star Darsheel Safary. The show did a lot for my career.
How do you find Mumbai and what do you miss most about Jalandhar?
Mumbai is different from our Punjab. I like sea and beaches here. In Mumbai, I miss
Punjabi food of Jalandhar, especially chane-bhature, daal makhni, and makki ki roti with sarson ka saag.
Is there any process that you go through to prepare for the role?
All actors of this show attended a workshop for two months. Before going to the shoot, I sit with my co-stars for a reading session.
