Kinshuk Vaidya and Pranali Rathod chill out in Lucknow

Kinshuk Vaidya

, better known as Sanju of

Shaka Laka Boom Boom

, was in the city to promote his new show 'Jaat Na Pucho Prem Ki'. Accompanying him was his co-actor

Pranali Rathod

who is debuting in the show. Landing in the city after shooting in Varanasi, the duo experienced one thing common, the weather. Both the actors said the weather in both cities was too hot. So the duo decided to beat the heat in Lucknow and had nariyal-paani and lassi. "It is too hot here in Lucknow, but I think naariyal-paani will give us some relief," said Kinshuk
Kinshuk added, "I saw people selling nariyal-paani while on my way from the airport. I was surprised ki Lucknow mein bhi nariyal-paani milta hai.”
Kinshuk, while sharing his disappointment on not being able to explore the city despite visiting it twice, said, "Whenever I have visited Lucknow, I haven’t had the time to see much of the city. I have heard so much about Lucknow and I so want to explore it. I have heard a lot about Lucknow ke kebab, chaat and paani ke batashe which I hope to try some day."

Agreeing with him was Pranali who also wanted to check out some chikan clothes to carry back home to Mumbai with her.
Having just finished shooting their show in Varanasi, the Kinshuk said he enjoyed his time there except the weather, "It was an amazing shooting in Banaras. The first thing we did after we landed in Banaras was go for Kaashi Vishwanath ke darshan and we attended the Ganga Aarti too. We just had some issues with the weather, kuchh zyada hi garmi thi, otherwise it was a wonderful experience," said Vaidya.
"We shot extensively in the bylanes of Banaras, everybody is familiar with Banaras ki galliyan, I guess. We had a lot of Banarasi paan and we ate plenty of chaat. So it was fun overall, it would have been better if garmi thodi kam hoti. But I think shoot karne mein itna maza aya ke that it compensated for the weather," said Pranali.

Kinshuk, who’s in a relationship with his Ek Rishta Sajhedari Ka co star

Shivya Pathania

says that he finds it very comfortable working with her. "We’re both actors and we should be comfortable working with whoever we are cast opposite. But personally, I enjoy working with Shivya a lot, we have completed more than three years of togetherness. After Ek Rishta Sajhedari Ka, we had an opportunity to do another show and we grabbed it without a second thought. Usually TV mein log couples repeat nahi karte, but fortunately we were able to grab another show together. And I hope to get more work with her in the future."
Sharing her happiness over bagging a debut lead role Pranali expressed, “I did ramp walks and TV commercials before I landed my first role in Pyaar Pahli Baar. I consider it both my struggling phase and a good start. I was very happy ke mujhe yeh show mila because it was an actual struggle to bag this role.”
