Since the job of a traffic cop is very tough, the role too has been extremely challenging and tough. However since I love playing different roles in every new assignment and project, I have loved playing the role of a traffic cop in the new show. While in the line of their duty, many a times, traffic cops are known to put their lives to great peril as they have no shield from the pollution. To get a good grasp of my character and to understand the profession and duty of a traffic cop, I positioned myself at a chaotic traffic juncture for a good 15 days period. The hard work paid as I was able to learn numerous new and interesting facets about the profession of a traffic cop. The new show will uniquely portray love and romance with a nice blend of comedy. Indisputably, the theme and the overall concept of the show would strike a vibrant chord with the viewers. The character of Kapil Dev is played by me while the character of Lovina DeMello is played by actress Umang Jain.”
