Sarangdhar is inspired by Gulzaar Sahab and his works.
Speaking about Sarangdhar’s dedication, Aashay shares, “Saangdhar has a progressive mind and is expressive by nature. He is a people person and can impress anyone with his creativity and affable nature. His writing is his best form of expression. He looks up to Gulzar Sahab and considers him his role model.”
The actor further adds, “Just like my on-screen character, I am a huge fan of Gulzar Sahab. He is a living legend. His writing is magical, unique and awe-inspiring. His contribution to the literary world as well as music (lyric writing) and movies have been magnanimous. He has a distinct style of writing and he knows how to say the simplest of things in such a beautiful and thoughtful manner. He is also writer who has constantly reinvented himself. And I am inspired by his work and journey.”
