Aparshakti Khurana on his character in Berlin

For those who are unaware, Aparshakti plays the role of a sign language expert Pushkin Verma in the OTT film. Speaking with OTTplay, the actor revealed the challenges he faced while portraying this character.

"The biggest challenge was to learn the sign language. It is not something that is there in the textbooks in school or something jo daily life mein iss cheez se vaakif ho sake. I also had to remember the sign language and the dialogues of what Ishwak was saying. So, these were the things that were difficult and different," he said.
