How has the journey been with the show so far?
It’s been 6 months since I began shooting and the journey has been nothing less than amazing. We started working in November and it feels just like yesterday. I have been receiving lots of love from all our viewers as well. In fact, ever since Jogi and Mahi have started understanding each other and come together after their marriage, the messages from fans have increased. I and Adhvik are extremely grateful for all the love and adoration that has come our way. It feels great to know that I am able to entertain my audience in such an intense scenario as well.
How has Jogi and Mahi’s story evolved so far?
I personally love the track that is being showcased these days, because Jogi and Mahi’s love story is actually blooming and reflecting. Gradually, Mahi has started loving Jogi who has always loved Mahi unconditionally. I am really enjoying shooting these scenes and there are several changes that can be seen in Mahi’s personality and nature as compared to how she was seen earlier. All these new traits that have become a part of Mahi’s personality have helped me learn a lot from her.
What has been the most challenging bit about shooting the upcoming plot revolving around the dance competition? Any specific training you are taking up?
As a part of the “Mrs. Amritsar” contest, there are different rounds such as Cooking, Dancing and Ramp Walk which Mahi is a part of. I personally loved the ramp walk scenes because they brought a great change for my character. I also donned a different attire in comparison to what I usually wear to represent my character. The dance scenes were performed with Adhvik, so those were really fun to enact. I don’t really have a dance background and neither have I ever trained in a dance style. Our movements were all spontaneous and we just went with the flow.
Have you ever participated in a dance competition in school? Share an experience?
I have never been a part of any special dance classes. Back during my school days, I was a really shy kid and hence never participated in any competitions or events. But I honestly find it quite enjoyable to do all those things which I have never done being Amandeep, be it cooking, dancing and many more other things.
You have been winning appreciation for your role, how does it feel?
I am extremely honoured and touched by all the love that has poured in, it is really overwhelming at times. In fact, the numerous messages and wishes from viewers, encourage me to perform better each day. This is my first lead role and getting so much love from everyone feels incredible. I just hope the love remains the same and I am really thankful to all my fans and our audience.
What bonds you and Adhvik Mahajan?
I think it is our character’s chemistry that connects us very well and the fact that the story of Jogi and Mahi is a romantic one and a friendly one. Since the beginning, I and Adhvik have been great friends which actually helps represent that friendship between our characters. Adhvik has been really helpful since day one and he has always guided me on how I can bring out the best version of myself while acting. This is what actually connects us. We are extremely good friends off-screen and the bond which we have, we always try to bring that in our characters too.
When you look back at your journey in the industry, how do you feel about it?
My journey has been great so far and I hold no such regrets for whatever has happened from the beginning. I am glad how my career has shaped I am blessed to have got such a similar and positive character like Mahi to essay as my first lead role. I have always believed in being grateful for whatever work comes my way and I think this character was destined to be mine.
Finally, your message to your fans.
A heartfelt thanks to all my fans, friends, and our viewers for giving us so much love and affection. Thank you for constantly loving Mahi and I hope each one of you stay safe and blessed during this time. It’s been really tough period for all of us but here’s hoping to get over this soon.
