In a recent interview with India Forums, he spoke about being reunited with his good old friend Rupali Ganguly in the serial ‘Anupamaa’. Speaking about working with Rupali, Nitesh had said, Rupali, is a very old and dear friend of mine. When I reached the sets, we hugged for a long time. The director had to separate us. She would just not leave me and she was extremely happy to have me on the sets. We got nostalgic and reminisced the good old days. As far as Gaurav is concerned, it didn’t feel like I’m meeting him for the first time. He is an amazing person and we quickly hit it off and the camaraderie was organic yet quite quick. He laughed and chatted a lot. I think he is ‘Dheeraj’ offscreen. We connected and how!”

We, at, OTTplay, would like to pray that the soul of the departed to rest in eternal peace.
