Talking about it, Pratham reveals, “We had recently finished shooting a heavy chunk and I was given a day off to rest it out and enjoy my birthday. However, close to 12.30 pm, I got a call from the ‘Guddan Tumse Na Ho Payega’ team to report to the set urgently, as they had a couple of close shots left to be taken to wrap up the episode. While I went there with the assumption that I had to shoot something quickly, what I never expected was the sweet surprise that they had planned for me. The cast and crew got me a large cake and were happy to celebrate my birthday despite being exhausted after a tiring shoot. It was overwhelming and exciting at the same time, and I am delighted to have found an extended family on the set of ‘Guddan Tumse Na Ho Payega’. It was a sweet and special gesture.”

Pratham admits that he usually makes it a point to visit the Siddhivinayak temple on his birthday every year. However, this year he had to bring a slight change to this annual tradition. “I usually visit the Siddhivinayak Mandir on my birthday, but this year I couldn’t do that due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Hence, I decided to go to a gurudwara and donate food items for the daily langar that they keep. That made me feel blessed. I am glad that I managed to execute something unique like this,” he signs off.
