To Harshad Chopda:
Hey Harshad! First of all, Congratulations to you and the entire team of Kis Desh Mein on completing 100 episodes! Each and every role that you've played, whether it be the adorable Ali to the charming Akshat to the ideal Prem has tested a range of your skills and the delivery of emotions and you've only improved in leaps and bounds. I've seen many Indian shows and lost interest in most very early on, may it be due to boring, illogical stories, lackluster execution, or uninspiring acting. But, Kis Desh Mein has proven to be a little different till now and while the entire team has contributed to that, it is your flawless performance as Prem that is more than helping the cause. The dedication and passion that you have put into Prem comes across beautifully on screen. Whether it be your heart-wrenching scenes with your mother, funny/cute scenes with your brothers, or your breathtaking scenes with Heer, you manage to illuminate the screen and deliver a fantastic performance each and every time. With the role of Prem, you've delivered unblemished performances that reflect, more than anything, the conviction that you have in your work. The mobility of your emotions you portray, the pain or love in your eyes that seems to come naturally or the effortless performances of an ideal lover, brother and son you portray leaves one spellbound. The amount of silent conversation your's and Additi's eyes engage in makes one think that a script is really not required for your scenes together. Jokes apart, I think that's an admirable quality to add to your skills. Whenever I am speechless at a performance, you manage to amaze me with a better subsequent performance. That is indeed the best part about you, Harshad - you improve on Perfection. Yours is the sweetest kind of victory because you are in competition with yourself; you surpass your own performances, no matter how perfect they might have been. The jail scene with Heer, the scene with your mother, the scene where you're intoxicated, the Dargah scene where your eyes speak volumes, the scene in the hotel where you equate love with "wafa" for Heer, the confession scene with Heer, the scene where you portray your pyromaniac passion for Heer and stand up for her in front of the world, and the many subsequent passionate scenes with Heer are just some of the few that were spell-bounding and truly portrayed the finesse that you have achieved in your acting in such a short span of time. It's no surprise that your chemistry with Additi Gupta has been commended and hugely appreciated. Yours is truly an electrifying onscreen pair and you both have managed to deliver one of the most distinctive passionate performances that have struck a chord with countless people. I hope the spark in your chemistry lives on till the show does. Lastly, the awards you have received speak for themselves, but your genuineness and modesty speak louder. I'm not really a 'starrish' person and I tend to put aside shows and acting once I've seen them, but you're one of the few stars on Indian television that I feel proud admiring today. I hope you retain the same passion and sincerity in every endeavor you take on and still retain the sweetness and honesty that exudes from Harshad, the person, from whatever little we have seen of you in interviews. I hope you reach the greatest pinnacles of success and creative satisfaction. May you continue encouraging people to reach new heights through your own example. Congratulations again and All the Best for all your future endeavors!

To Additi Gupta:
Heyy Additi! First of all, Congratulations to you and the entire team of Kis Desh Mein on completing 100 episodes! I must say that you've been the surprise package of Kis Desh Mein. Never have I seen an actor improve so rapidly and massively on Indian television. You're one of the few Indian telly actresses that is so endearing in her performances that you can't help but feel for her on some level. I'm sure acting's a challenge to any newcomer, especially to someone with no acting aspirations. Yet, you deserve all the praise for these rapid improvements that you're showing in your performances at such a young age and I hope you only reach higher heights of finesse and success. You've impressed me with many of your performances from the Shiv Mandir scene to your parents' death scene to the Dargah scene to the numerous charming performances with Prem. Your chemistry with Harshad Chopda does indeed illuminate the screen and you manage to deliver performances on a far superior level than ever seen before. Yours is truly an electrifying onscreen pair and you both have managed to deliver one of the most distinctive passionate performances that have struck a chord with countless people. I hope the spark in your chemistry lives on till the show does. Whether it be the restrained, subtle emotions you show through your eyes or your passionate emotions in scenes with Prem, you tend to make things a little more believable. The childlike innocence and simplicity you exude, the grace that you bestow upon the character, and the sense of vulnerability you show while still keeping the strength of the character alive has made Heer so endearing. With every one of your performances, I see a little more of effortless and natural charisma that you have managed to portray. The start of your acting journey has been remarkable and I hope to continue seeing the sincerity and hard work that has gotten you the admiration and affection for your performance. I guess I'm just a little older than you but I can say that you've contributed to being quite a role model for many - that of dedication and sincerity towards your work. I hope you reach the greatest pinnacles of success and creative satisfaction. Congratulations again and All the best for all your future endeavors!
