'I'm saying this straight from the heart, ma'am, not to impress anyone, but because it's the truth. Being on this set feels like coming home to work, and that sense of comfort means everything. ' Abhishek also spoke about the passion and dedication that flows through the team, making every shoot day feel personal and significant. 'It genuinely felt like we were losing something valuable when someone wasn't fully in it. That's how deeply connected I felt to the work here,' he added. The actor also opened up about how closely he relates to his character, Pumma. "I can relate a lot to Pumma's character because he's just as mad as I am!

Everything that Pumma is in the show, Abhishek is in real life too. ' Tu Aashiiki Haii promises an intense blend of love, longing, and emotional complexity.
