Vishal Aditya Singh playing the role of Dev in ‘Chand Jalne Laga says’, ”The festival of Chhath Puja is very dear to me. When I used to stay in Bihar, some 15 years back, I participated in a street decoration competition that aimed to beautify our surroundings and promote cleanliness. From that year, I never missed participating in the competition and always won. The authenticity of celebrating Chhath Puja, deeply ingrained in our culture, brings me immense happiness even now. This year, I couldn’t return home for the festivities due to dedicating my full attention to our new show, 'Chand Jalne Laga’, but I will be celebrating this festival with my reel family with all the celebrations."
In a previous interview, Vishal opened up about how he got into the character of Dev, "For me, it is important to get into the skin of the character first. For Dev’s character, I experimented with a lot of things. To get into the intensity and depth of Dev’s character, I often sat for long hours, alone, on my balcony and stared at the plain sky. It helped me develop the loneliness Dev has in him and made me feel connected to him. Dev’s character is so calculative considering his balanced, limited display of emotions which makes it very difficult for me to play this role sometimes and this is what makes this role stand out. I really hope that the audience appreciates my efforts and portrayal of Dev," he concluded.
