In a chat, Siddharth Nigam confessed on how he tricks everyone on the sets and is a bigger prankster, even than his own brother Abhishek Nigam who plays the lead actor Veer in the show.

'I am the person who loves to goof around. This  has been the sole reason for carrying out pranks on people since I was very young. On the sets, both my brother and I try out pranks though everyone considers me as the bigger prankster, which I agree with.

But Surabhi-Samriddhi Mehra are also very witty and fast when it comes to reciprocating to our pranks. I remember them using artificial blood once to show that they are hurt. It did scare people on the set and their prank was successful. Post that, I planned the same prank with more seriousness where I used prosthetics to show that I had met with an accident. Both got so scared and were in tears. But when they got to know it was a prank, they got very angry with me. I convinced them later somehow,'Siddharth Nigam said.

Sidharth reveals that his pranks on the sets have often gotten him into trouble.

“In the past,  there have been so many pranks that have gone wrong. I remember trying to pull off one where I dressed up as a ghost, but it backfired, and nobody got scared. My pranks have got me into trouble so many times that I have stopped counting now,'he said.
