I had a few sessions with them where I told them it’s a big drama. The main clash that came was that my parents were reluctant, saying, “It is a short role of two episodes, it’s less screen time”, to which I said, “it doesn’t matter, it is a work that will get registered.” Now, I have started understanding the trends more because I interact with people more. I urged them not to leave this role.” Watch here:
