Siddharth Nigam talks about his experience of getting back to shooting and quarantine days

How was the first day experience of returning to the set after the lockdown?

There are a lot of new rules introduced now. Everyone has to compulsorily wear masks, carry sanitisers and there is a proper process of sanitisation that we have to go through before entering the set.

Any new actor who has joined the show?

Ashi Singh. She will play the role of princess Yasmine.

What new can the viewers expect from the show now?

There is a slight change in Aladdin’s look and I think that the viewers are going to like it a lot. The story will take a rather interesting and thrilling turn.

How special is the role of Aladdin to you?

Aladdin is everyone’s favourite character from the fantasy world. So, when you get an opportunity to portray such a character, it automatically becomes special. Whenever I play a role, I try to be that person in real life too.

What lessons have you learnt staying at home during the lockdown?

The most important one is that we can survive without spending on luxuries. The expenses on our basic needs are very less as compared to what we spend on luxuries.

What is your fitness mantra?

Believe in yourself. The key is to know your limits and keep pushing yourself to achieve your fitness goals.
