Talking about his role in the show he says, “I play the character of Charminaar in the show. He is the newly employed digital division head of the company where Rajat Barmecha (Tarun Prabhu) works around which the whole story revolves.

People are just loving it and they are liking the negative shade that I have pulled off on screen.
