When actors work together, they share a great camaraderie on-set. One such duo is Mohit and Anupam. Mohit learnt alot from the senior actor Anupam on 'The Freelancer'.
Talking about the same, Mohit said: "Though Anupam sir is a legend for actors like me, he doesn't like to be called one. Getting to work with him is obviously a great opportunity, I feel lucky. You always learn from a senior even just by observing them."
