He said, “Namaskar. I am really happy to be a part of this wonderful project. Sab Hindi mein baat kar rahe hain yahaan. Main bhi koshish karunga. Iss mukaam tak laane ke liye all credit should go to Namit Malhotra. Unhone mujhe yeh patra nibhaane ka avsar diya (laughs), uske liye main unko dhanyawaad kehta hoon. Hindi seekhne ka bhi mauka mila.” ( Everyone here is speaking in Hindi, so I’ll do my best as well. All the credit for bringing me to this point goes to Namit Malhotra. He gave me the opportunity to play this character, and I am sincerely grateful to him for that. This project also gave me the chance to learn Hindi.)

Yash added, “This is India’s dream. We all have come together with one vision and one conviction—to put our story on the global platform. So, all of us are keeping all our interests aside.

Thank you so much, Nitesh sir, for guiding me and helping me understand the character’s nuances.”
