Through Do Duniya Ek Dil, I get to take viewers through how the digital space can be used to destroy lives just as easily as it can create identities. I never imagined returning to television, but life has a way of surprising you. I felt an instant connection with a story when it was offered to me. It carries a strong social relevance. Digital fraud is real, it’s growing, and it’s affecting countless lives. Being part of a show that addresses this made my decision easy.”
