Anuj enjoys a comfort level with Sanaya which reflects on screen too. "We are good friends and that reflects on-screen too. Sanaya's cool and chilled about everything. I used to think I am the only one who doesn't think before talking, but she's like that too," he says.
The actor hopes that the audience enjoy their pairing as well. "I understand it's difficult to accept a new pair. But more than her talking about our chemistry on-screen, I want the audiences to talk about it. When they do, it won't matter that they liked her with Barun a while ago," he says.
Barun and Sanaya's popularity during their show IPKKND was immense. The couple's chemistry was loved by the audience, who later didn't want him to be replaced with any other actor when he quit the show. In fact, there has been immense pressure on Chhanchhan's team to recreate the magic of Barun-Sanaya's chemistry.
Newcomer Farhan Khan, who was cast opposite Sanaya, was unable to click with the audience which is why he was replaced with Anuj. The show has got stable since then, but Anuj also credits the storyline for the same. "It takes time to get viewers back. Now they like the post marriage story between Manav, Chhanchhan and Manav's mom."
