I interacted with locals at Rani Ki Vav, Siddhpur & Patan, and it was a lovely experience: Akshit Sukhija

For long,

Gujarat

has been a popular shooting location for daily soaps and a number of shows including Yeh Rishtey Hain Pyaar Ke, Saavdhan India, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, Tamanna, Yeh Moh Moh Ke Dhaage, Siya Ke Ram and Aisi Deewangi Dekhi Nahi Kahin have been shot in various parts of the state. And it was the beauty of this unique architectural marvel of Patan that caught the eyes of the showmakers, who not only shot a few scenes at

Rani Ki Vav

but also at other locations near the banks of river Sarasvati and Siddhpur.
For one such show

Shubharambh

, actor

Akshit Sukhija

shot extensively at places like Rani Ki Vav in Patan, Siddhpur and near the banks of river Saraswati.
For Akshit, the visit to Rani Ki Vav and Siddhpur turned out to be a lot of fun too as he tried some Gujarati food and enjoyed interacting with the locals. He says, “The best part about this shooting schedule was that we got to interact with the locals and try the local food. We would have dishes like fafda-jalebi for breakfast and I completely indulged myself. During our shoot at Patan, we made friends with a few locals who were very warm, and they would get us ghar ka Gujarati khana. While shooting at these beautiful locations was memorable, it was the hospitality, the food and the warmth we received from the people that made it extra special.”
