“It all started with ‘Kasam…’ and thereon, I got to do some amazing work, which helped me become a better performer and a professional actor,” he added.

Speaking of coming on board for ‘Who’s Your Daddy’, Mohit says, “I was working on another show, but it got waived off because of the pandemic. Therefore, I started auditioning for other projects and one day got a call from Balaji for the character of Appu (Mohit’s character in the series).”

“I had to go through a long audition process before they finalized me for the role,” he recalls.

The show is streaming on ALT Balaji since December 22, 2020.

Mohit is in love with his character and says ‘it was so much fun playing it on-screen’

“Appu (Apurv) is a typical college-going Delhi boy, who is funny, confident, and a little self-obsessed. He is under the impression that he is the king of his college. Though he is a great person, Apruv gets negatively influenced and start doing a couple of bad things,” reveals Mohit.

The team had the pressure of completing the entire shoot within 16-17 days. Mohit says, though it was hectic, we didn’t miss out on our fun. “Firstly we had a deadline to meet. Secondly, it was completely an outdoor shoot, which most of the time turn disastrous. But I believe, we were very lucky to complete the entire show so smoothly. In fact, we enjoyed a lot.”

It took no time for us to bond. I can’t tell you how much we enjoyed it till the last day,” concludes the actor, who is very happy about the response his show has received so far.
