She is a simple and ambitious girl from Warikabad who wears her heart on her sleeves." Excited about essaying the role of Suraj Singh, Ashish says, "It is a wonderful opportunity to be part of the second instalment of 'Molkki', a show that enjoyed a successful run in its first season. I am thrilled to essay the role of Suraj Singh, a nobleman who lives by his principles and cares about the welfare of the underprivileged." "What makes this show special for me is its depiction of the tradition of buying a bride, while highlighting the strength of those who fight against it. I am eager to bring Suraj's story to life on the screen and hope audience will shower us with their love and support."
