Shaheer Sheikh amd Sonarika Bhadoria
What made you greenlight Dastaan-E-Mohabbat: Salim Anarkali?
The main challenge is to get the right project. Nowadays, people are not willing to experiment; they want to make shows that, they are certain, will work. My last show [Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi] was unconventional, and I was proud of my choice. Fortunately, the makers of Dastaan-E-Mohabbat have a grand vision and want to keep the story as authentic as possible. When they offered me the role of Salim, I felt blessed. Over the years, I have been in talks with the channel for several shows, but this was a role I couldn't refuse.
Since you brought up Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi, fans believed that while the show started out as a unique story, the makers eventually changed the plot to garner TRPs.
That's not true. The makers stuck to their guns and didn't change anything for TRPs. The story remained exactly as it was shared with us during our first narration.
