Paresh Pahuja On How Playing Mahi Changed Him As A Person

Paresh reveals how he was sceptical playing a sitar player, who has been acing in the field for years, and asking the director, Anand Tiwari, if he was sure casting him in the first place. However, he set his vision and mind after being encouraged. Later, he realized how the character was a game changer for him.

Talking about it Paresh, who is a successful singer and songwriter himself, said, "The character Mahi helped me to be more connected to my music and be more truthful to my art. It also helped me to break the algorithm barrier and empowered me to play what I want to play, sing what I want to sing without thinking of log kya sochenge aur woh kya sun rahe hai(what people will think and what they are listening to at the moment)."

Praising Divya Dutt, Ritwik Bhowmick, Shreya Chaudhry, Paresh revealed that his favorite among everyone is Sheeba Chaddha, "There is something magical and spiritual about her," he stated.
