“It is so easy to sit in silence with this man. I made this gentle giant drink of my herbal tea from tiny tea cups every night. It is even easier to act with him. He made sure his physiotherapist mobilised my body before his own, during the action sequences, so I don’t get hurt.
“Jaideep told me I have to develop muscle. I started strength training a year ago.”

Heaping praise on the team, Tillotama Shome added, “I remember what I felt, and then we shot for season two, and I met the incredible team. It was amazing.”
