According to her, Harsh follows a very strict method of acting. She says, “When we started shooting, we didn’t get to talk much on the sets. Even off the sets, he’d would stay in his character. But we had six months of rehearsal time before the film started, so we got very close at that time.”

The actor reveals, Harsh is quite unlike his father, actor Anil Kapoor, as he’s not a prankster and that they have been spending a lot of time together, getting to know each other. Adding that they have many common interests and sports being one of them.

Clearly unperturbed by comparisons that comes along when one debuts opposite a popular star child, Saiyami affirms she never felt any sense of insecurity, infact, she feels it’s an advantage. “Now that the promotions have started, Anil sir is helping us and Rhea has been so helpful in styling us for shoots. They all give me advice,” she says.
