He also shared his experience working with a kid, both as protagonists, for the first time and the future ventures with Bollywood.

Hiten while remembering his struggle days, said, “There is a lot of struggle behind making the name ‘Hiten Tejwani’. Basically, I wanted to be a CA, but somehow I stepped into theatre. While doing theatre, I realised that life is so much fun. You get to meet new people and have new experience. So, I decided to opt it as my career.”

“Moreover, I believe that people nowadays want realistic stories to be portrayed on television and we have done the same in this serial. Coming out from the four walls of shooting sets, we have showcased the real locations, real story. This show is absolutely about realism. And while sharing his experience of working with Ruhana, he said, “While working with kids, one has to be really patient. Similar is the case with me, I have to be very patient when I work with little Ruhana.” “But this is the best part in me that I am very patient,” said laughingly.
