She shared how they don't spend hours preparing or rehearsing, which actually keeps things fresh and real, 'We don't rehearse too much either, just align before the take. Jeetu is a very supportive co-actor. He gave me the space to feel comfortable, never made me feel like a newcomer. That calmness between us translates on screen.'

' She also spoke about how their bond has grown stronger with every season of the show, 'My chemistry with her has grown with each season. I've said this before – she's a little protective of me. I've seen instances where someone's being rough or pushing me around, and she'd take a stand for me. That's her way of showing love.' Raghubir Yadav brings endless warmth Another important person in Sanvikaa's 'Panchayat' journey has been Raghubir Yadav, who plays the cheerful Pradhan ji. Sanvikaa couldn't stop praising how friendly and loving he is. She shared that Raghubir Yadav is one of the most joyful people she has ever met.
