Commenting on the difference in characters played before and reminiscing real friendships, Asha Negi says, “Khwabon Ke Parindey is a journey of life and hope, but sometimes all you need are close friends to help you rediscover yourself. Bindiya, my character on the show is this complete wild child, who believes in embracing life every single day. When you shoot for a show like this, you tend to relive the moments with your best friends and I did too. However, over a period of time Mrinal, Mansi, Tushar and I got along really well and from being just co-stars we gradually became good friends; making the journey exciting. The entire experience of shooting for the show, made me realise the importance of friends and why it is necessary to have them around you. They are like your truth serum, who help you unravel your deepest secrets and fears and then help you get through it.”

She adds, “The 60 days of shooting throughout Australia with this amazing young crew has been an unforgettable experience and I would go back to that time in a heartbeat. I thoroughly enjoyed playing Bindiya; although challenging, the transition of my portrayal of roles from television to web has been extremely refreshing.

A big thank you to my Rockstar director, Tapasvi Mehta and Voot for giving me this opportunity that has not only challenged me as an actor but as an individual as well.”

For the uninitiated, Asha Negi made her Bollywood debut with Anurag Basu's Ludo, opposite Abhishek Bachchan. 

Asha made her digital debut with Baarish, and later, the actress went on to play the character of a journalist on the web show, "Abhay 2".

"The show has instilled confidence in me and made me believe that I am not just meant for 'girl next door' roles. I felt great to explore a new territory. I will now try to do different kinds of roles in future projects. Initially, I was nervous. I had doubts whether I would be able to the role. But while working I realised nothing is impossible. I worked hard and gave my best," Asha shared.

Several episodes of the crime thriller "Abhay 2", which also features Kunal Kemmu and Ram Kapoor, were shot amid the pandemic. Asked how her experience was to shoot amid the new normal, Asha replied: "Honestly, I was paranoid. I was like, 'bahar nikle aur corona hojaega (if I ventured out, I might contract corona)'. But we followed strict safety precautions and shot successfully. It's the new normal and we are getting used to it."
