Anya Singh, who made her Bollywood debut with YashRaj's Qaidi Band, was recently seen in web series, Never Kiss Your Best Friend with Nakuul Mehta. In the series, the duo played the role of close friends Tanie and Sumer, who later fall in love.
Anya and Nakkul's chemistry was much appreciated by fans, who were then eagerly waiting for a sequel. However, when an extension was announced Nakuul was missing from it and that definitely disappointed fans.
Recently, we had an opportunity to speak with Anya and while talking about the extension Never Kiss Your Best Friend Lockdown Special, we asked the actress about Nakkul's absence from the show.
Anya had a rather hysterical reply to it as she told us, "Ask Nakuul na where is he? I think he is busy cooking for his wife Janki. And then doing jhaadu pocha (laughs). No, actually the storyline this time is written differently and that's why Zain Imam is opposite me. Also, Javed Jaffery sir has joined the series. Also, it's not Season 2 but a lockdown special."
However, Anya reveals that she was in touch with Nakkul while shooting for the current series. "I called him before we started shooting and at that time I had told him, 'chalo ho jaayega ghar se hi to shoot karna hai' and then on the last day when I called him I said, 'you have no idea how challenging it was.' And he replied saying that he is quite happy that he didn't have to go through it. Though I am sure he missed being a part of it. Actually, in lockdown many people didn't have househelp. So, after 12 hours of shooting, managing household work was extremely difficult."
