'The Scene I Auditioned for Turned Out to Be the Most Important'
In a special conversation with Hindustan Times, Gaurav said,'I auditioned for that intense and heavy scene. I was called to Mukesh Chhabra's office and asked to perform this scene. So, it wasn't surprising for me at all.'

Gaurav added, 'Later, during the narration, I understood exactly where this scene would fit. It wasn't shocking to me. I knew this was a role that would be liked and that Alam would be Hamza's only support who knows everything. So I knew it was a special role.
