I am still doing the same thing (that I was previously). I am fortunate to receive these wonderful opportunities and I am most keen to go wherever the good work is and I am going to continue to do that and let’s see what the future has in store.”
"I know the role reads a certain way and it’s also the first time you are seeing me in this light. I also haven’t been kind of seen for a little while, there’s been space between my projects, I am looking a little more grown up, feeling it also (laughs). I am just glad the series is out and I am excited for everything that is to come,” Ishaan added.
