While on screen, he plays the role of a fun-loving Sikh boy, Samay clarified that in real life, he hails from a traditional Marwari family. “My character Gogi belongs to a Sikh family, but in reality, I’m from the Marwar region near the Gujarat-Rajasthan border,” he shared.

Over the years, Samay has had the chance to learn acting directly from veterans on set, especially Dilip Joshi, who plays the iconic Jethalal.

“If I’ve learned anything on the set, it’s from Dilip Sir. He doesn’t just tell us how to act, he sometimes performs our characters himself to show us what to do. That has taught me a lot,” said Samay.

Why? Because Bhavya is actually his cousin, “He’s my aunt’s son and we worked together for a long time, so our friendship is stronger,” Samay added.
