Cyrus recollects how in 1993 they met while on a shoot and the fun they had together, why creators don't talk money in the beginning itself, and tons more. JD talks to us about a writer needs to write something that sells, and regales us with stories and anecdotes of working with his producing and writing partner Aatish Kapadia. They talk about the 1 year anniversary of 'Wagle Ki Duniya' while comparing it with the previous iteration of the series, how they pulled off the new format with Sony Sab and the potential he saw while re-launching it. Further, they talk about working with 9-10 writers to get fresh stories, how 'Wagle Ki Duniya' touches upon issues like good touch-bad touch, menstruation, mental health, gender equality and more, with an intent to strike relevant engagement and conversations, and the kind of difference a fantastic casting can make to a show.
