Earlier, in an interview with SpotboyE, Shaheer Sheikh spoke about the apprehensions he had before taking up this role of Manav Deshmukh. Shaheer said, “A lot of people told me that are you sure you want to do this character? Because it was a legendary character of such a hit show played by Sushant Singh Rajput. People will have very high expectations from you. I was anyway not very sure if I should take up the show and after hearing all such things, I started feeling even more nervous. In fact, the first thought I had was, ‘Mujhe accept hi nahi karenge log’.”

Meanwhile, Vivek Dahiya and Divyanka Tripathi recently celebrated their 5th wedding anniversary. The duo also went for a road trip after Divyanka got back from Cape Town from her Khatron Ke Khiladi shoot. The gorgeousness had given a sneak peek of Vivek’s surprise for her when she had returned to Mumbai.
