Colors' 'Neerja... Ek Nayi Pehchaan' has gripped its viewers with a riveting tale of Neerja, who wants to lead a life of dignity amid the looming threat of her place of residence, Sonagachi.

She commits herself fully to helping her husband, Abeer (Rajveer Singh), recover his memories and come to terms with his past. As the show continues to entertain the audiences, one of its actors, Ayub Khan, who essays the role of Neerja's father-in-law, credits a part of its success to Aastha's performance. The veteran actor went down nostalgia lane, witnessing Aastha ace her scenes with the finesse of a seasoned performer. He remarks that he is reminded of his formative years of being inducted into acting while watching her embody Neerja to perfection.

Ayub Khan appreciates Aastha's act as Neerja, saying, "It's wonderful to see the new generation of actors shine and do a fantastic job and bring their characters to life onscreen. I'm thoroughly impressed with the professionalism with which Aastha conducts herself and the nuances of Neerja she presents. When I began my journey as an actor, I had the drive to fulfil my potential. I see in her the same passion for acting that drove me at the beginning of my career. I have no doubt she'll continue to shine and be celebrated as Neerja in the hearts of the audience. I'm truly proud of her."
