Football fever gripping Gunjan and Rachna-TOI
Ankit Gera (The male protagonist, Mayank) is a huge football fan and keeps talking about the game all the time. Once Gunjan and Rachna found a brand new football lying in Ankit's car. They decided to take it out on the sly and kick around a bit. So, the day Mayank's engagement was being shot, Gunjan sneaked into his room, got his car keys and took the football.
"Mahima and I were so excited with the football in our possession that we forgot that we are dressed in traditional clothes. We removed our heels, borrowed slippers and started playing till Ankit came outside and saw what was happening. At first we thought he'd throw a fit at us for taking the ball out of his car. Being the sport that he is, he joined us in our game and also gave us a few tips," said Roopal Tyagi (who essays the role of Gunjan) with glee.
Mahima Makwana , who plays the role of the soft spoken Rachna shared, "Roopal and I are not into outdoor sports but have discovered football to be a great stress buster. My character is shown as being passionate about hockey and my love for the sport will only grow in the episodes to come.
"We have a small playground on the sets and the fun quotient to play doubles when we play football during the rains...much to the chagrin of the producers and my mother," chuckled Mahima.
"We had the time of our lives," said an excited Roopal and added, "This is a great way to stay fit as I find it very difficult to hit the gym regularly." When you spend more than twelve hours on the sets playing a team sport not only brings people closer but also makes work fun and helps actors stay healthy.
