The actor shared his experience: “I also enjoy working with Sonalika Joshi, who plays my onscreen wife on the show. She is also a great actress, and I will always be thankful to her because she is the one who referred me to this show. She referred to my name here. She came for an audition in 2008 and called me to inform me that the production house was looking for an actor to play Bhide’s role. She asked me to go and audition for it. Had she not insisted, I would not have bagged this show. We had worked together in a show before doing TMKOC, but our chemistry worked much better here.”
