Anuj Rampal is basking in the glory of the success of his debut series Akkad Bakkad Rafu Chakkar. The actor plays the role of Siddhant Rastogi who plots the conspiracy to open India's first fake bank with his close friend Bhargav in the Amazon Prime series, directed by late Raj Kaushal. Rampal has been receiving great responses for his performance, comic timing and chemistry with Vicky Arora, who plays his best friend Bhargav. "Raj sir used to tell me that you are the life of the scene, so please keep the energy high. There was a lot of drama and layers to Siddhant's character," he says. But he adds he never lets success get onto his head by never being completely satisfied with what he does. 

He also opens up about his experience working on the sets. He says he made some really good friends. In an exclusive interview with OTTplay, he says, "We had a lot of fun and used to laugh a lot. There is a scene where Vicky and I drink and laugh in a farmhouse. After I watched the scene, I could say it was our off-screen chemistry that's reflecting on screen as well," he says. 

Rampal further shared the following list of shows and films that he has been binge-watching and would like to recommend to the audience. Check it out:
