Ritivik Sahore on Ishq Express: The train setup reminded me of travel to my Nani’s house with my family

Train journeys are always fun. Exchanging seats, meeting new people, getting down on the station to explore nitty-gritties, hours spent playing games with family and friends, the experience of travelling by train is filled with several good memories, which is captured well in the Amazon miniTV's romantic series Ishq Express, starring Ritvik Sahore and Gayatrii Bhhardwaj. The narrative revolves around a train journey where Aarav (Ritvik Sahore) and Tanya (Gayatrii Bhhardwaj) meet, become friends and eventually fall in love.

Evoking a magical feeling of love and nostalgia, the mini-series has received heaps or praises from the viewers. Recently, lead actor Ritvik Sahore shared how he feels about train journeys and how he got nostalgic while shooting for the show. 

He said in his statement, “Due to lockdown, we didn’t really get to travel much. So, the moment I entered in the train setup for shooting, it felt so nostalgic. It reminded me of my train journeys when I used to travel to my Nani’s house with my family," he said, adding that he enjoyed those good old days when he used to jump from one berth to another, eat home-cooked food with everyone and play games. "I would also keep getting down at different stations and eat different types of food, so all these things were something which I would like to recollect every time I sit on a train seat," he added. He said that the entire team had a blast shooting for the show and he felt like he was travelling again in the train, while filming it.
