Abhishek said, "The situation was not favourable where I could speak to them. But I believe people who were in touch from the makers' side must have informed them. I was on a different side. I was looking at things from a different perspective. I had full trust in the makers. I was listening to them."
Giving details on what convinced him to join the show, Abhishek Nigam said, "My confidence was in the makers, on the people working so hard for the show, day and night. When after such a tragedy, they did not get demotivated. It automatically made me trust them too. Hats off to these people. When you have blessings from your elders, you take up the challenge."
Abhishek wrapped up the interview by saying everyone on Ali Baba sets still misses Tunisha Sharma and Sheezan Khan. "We are always going to miss them. I have worked with them. Tunisha was a good artist. We will miss her always. It is sad that Tunisha is not among us anymore. But, definitely, her work and memories would get cherished. But, everyone misses them."
