"Performing alongside such an experienced star cast was an absolute delight" Prakhar Toshniwal

Imagine an innocent guy having been locked down for 10 years for no fault of his. He is a personification of loneliness, guilt and unpredictability. All he wants from life is freedom."

Prakhar also talks about his entrée into this star studded show with many of the well known TV and film actors being part of the revenge saga.

"Performing alongside such an experienced star cast was an absolute delight. When I went to the sets, I thought nobody would even care.

But it was just the opposite. Their humility and attitude towards me just notched up my performance.

I never felt out of place. On the other hand, I knew that I could be easily overshadowed with their performances, and the only way to shine was by delivering a good performance myself. It kept me on toes all the time.".
