Excited about the new season, actor Aashim Gulati aka Prince Salim said, "Periodic dramas are something that has always caught my eye and now being in one has been an exhilarating journey. I am glad that the audiences have loved season one of the series and all I can say is that Salim's character arc in S2 is something to look out for. S2 is grittier, darker, bolder and personally for me, my best yet."
