Actor Mihir Ahuja is best known for his performances in films like Super 30, Yeh Ballet, Upstarts and web series like 'Bard of Blood', 'Taj Mahal 1989', 'Mission Over Mars'. Now, he will be seen in Netflix's latest anthology series 'Feels Like Ishq', which seeks to present six different yet relatable love stories streaming from 23rd July onwards. Starring Mihir Ahuja and Kajol Chugh, the anthology 'Quaranteen Crush' is a subtle love story directed by Tahira Kashyap Khurrana.

On talking about his role, Mihir states, "Being in the shoes of the character, Maninder, was really challenging but I totally enjoyed playing this part as it was very different from any other character I have played in the past. The story is a sweet journey in love which is not free from the real-life hurdles, but is worth the while and 'Feels like Ishq' captures all aspects of it. Also, I feel it was a huge honour for me to wear a turban for the role and I wish I have done justice to the respect that is attached to it."

Mihir talks about his working experience, stating, "I am highly grateful to the entire Netflix team, Mutant Films India, Tahira Kashyap Khurrana, Yash Nagarkoti and Late Seher Aly Latif for giving me this opportunity. Also, it was a wonderful experience working with Kajol Chugh who is my co-actor in the film. She is a gem of a person and not just a great actor but also a wonderful human being. I believe it is because of the entire team's support that we were able to give our best to the project and be our true selves," tells excited Mihir.

On talking about the concept of Feels Like Ishq, he adds, "As an actor it is my dream to keep doing versatile roles as it makes me challenge my limits. I believe the show ‘Feels like Ishq" has out of the box content and its stories are something which each one of us can relate to in some way or the other based on our personal experiences. It is an anthology of 6 stories directed by 6 different directors which portrays the stories of young adults as they navigate the gamut of emotions that come with finding romantic connections in unexpected places."

Mihir speaks about his journey and the industry being supportive, saying, "It was a wonderful experience playing the lead, but I would wish to mention that what makes a project exciting for me is not about being the lead or not, but it is more about how well you are able to relate to the character and how much you believe in it. This industry is so welcoming and honest to their job that you never have to worry about the fact whether you are a lead character or have a small role, as everyone is treated on equal grounds and given the same respect."
