Speaking about filming in demanding conditions, Mihir told IANS, that he leaned heavily on music to stay calm and focused.

"I think I relied on music. You know when you are shooting in the outskirts, there are a lot of things and challenges. Sometimes there are not even basic necessities available and shooting in such circumstances becomes difficult mentally."

He added, "I remember everybody has fallen sick on set and were down with viral. But irrespective of all that, the vibe of the set was very good. It was a fun atmosphere," he added.

The actor further spoke about his co-star Suvinder Vicky and how his presence on sets made it all the more easy to shoot.

"Sir is not like his character in the show. He is a very fun-loving person. His warmth kept us awake all night. So I think if there's energy on the set, then whatever difficult working hours you have or whatever circumstances, it becomes easy automatically if the people you are working with are good and passionate," he added.

The actor, earlier had also spoken about his experience on "Shabad-Reet aur Riwaaz", a series that explores relationships, faith and life's complexities. During the interaction, both Mihir Ahuja and Suvinder Vicky reflected on the show's emphasis on underlying emotions and layered storytelling.

Talking about "Shabad-Reet aur Riwaaz", the show gives a glimpse into the world of Ghuppi Singh, essayed by Mihir, a 16-year-old young boy living with a chronic stammer, and his zest to achieve dreams that stand in complete contrast to his family's deeply rooted legacy.

His father, Harminder Singh, a respected singer expects Ghuppi to carry forward the sacred tradition of devotional music. However, Ghuppi is drawn more towards football. The series explores themes of generational tensions and expectations that give rise to conflict within relationships.

The premise of the show sounds very interesting. The conflict between a father's legacy in devotional music and a son's passion for football is something many Indian families can connect with. Hope they handle the stammer representation sensitively.

Suvinder Vicky sir is such a gem! Loved him in 'Kohrra'. It's great to know he brings such positive energy on set. A good co-star and a healthy atmosphere really make all the difference, especially during long night shoots. More power to the team!

While I appreciate the behind-the-scenes insights, I do wish the article gave us a bit more about the *show's* message rather than just the shooting experience. The generational tension theme is so relevant today, would have liked to hear more on that.

"If the people you are working with are good and passionate, it becomes easy automatically." So true! This applies to every workplace, not just film sets. Wishing the entire team success. The show is now on my watchlist. 👍

Interesting to see Indian content exploring such specific cultural dynamics—devotional music vs. modern sports. Mihir Ahuja was good in The Archies. Curious to see him in a more dramatic role. The focus on underlying emotions in storytelling is promising.
