I was taken aback by the character and wanted to be a part of it: Vijay Verma on 'Ishqiyoun'

The actor will play the role of Mamaji and said, "It's a good script. The name of the series is also very catchy. It is a comedy family drama, a funny, feel-good series that will keep you on the edge of your seat."

The actor feels that every new project adds value to the growth of an artist. He said, "Each new project comes with different character challenges and it helps an actor to improve their acting skills with time and by giving their 100%. Also, the reputation of an artist grows as they take up new projects, and they get to work with good directors and with big production houses. And it's the experience that makes you a better actor. I've gained a lot of confidence and am looking forward to future challenges like this."
