Speaking about her bond with Rishi (Leenesh Mattoo) on the screen, Guddi said: “It was wonderful working with Leenesh and the whole team. Off-screen as well, we used to have lots of fun. Whenever we would shoot together, we made it a point to sit together and eat.”

“We would talk a lot and we all got along well. When you have a great team, everything goes smoothly, and shooting becomes a lot of fun.”

The actress, who has starred in movies like ‘Biwi No 1’, ‘Rajaji’, ‘Balwaan’ shared that this show is special as it's set in Kashmir, and that makes it authentic.

“This show is all about love and passion. It highlights the beauty of Kashmir and the beauty of love. This show is all about celebrating love against the stunning backdrop of Kashmir,” she said.

Guddi added: “Its unique setting makes it stand out from other shows, adding a special charm. In my view, the focus on love and the beauty of Kashmir truly makes it unique.”

Set in Kashmir, ‘Pashminna’ narrates the love story of Pashminna (Isha Sharma), a starry-eyed romantic who falls in love at first sight with a hard-nosed businessman Raghav (Nishant Malkani).

While the two lovers were about to unite after facing multiple hurdles, destiny had other plans for them, separating them once again.
