Ojas and Vishnu are back together

Ojas Rawal and Vishnu Bholwani

Ojas Rawal and Vishnu Bholwani, who have been known for their roles in the popular show Ladies Special, are again sharing the screen in Sony TV's recently launched- Sargam Ki Sadhe Satii. Ojas plays the role of Aastik Awasthi, a man who believes in maintaining a distance from women. He is Hanuman bhakt (devotee). Vishnu Bholwani is playing the role of Asha Amar Awasthi, a short-tempered, and competitive guy.

Throwing light upon their friendship and how it has grown over the years, Ojas Rawal said, "Vishnu Ji and I became great friends while working together in 'Ladies Special'. Despite coming off as a quiet reserved person, he often pulls my leg about me not getting married and my slow-eating habits."

Vishnu Bholwani shared, "Our bonding from Ladies Special has become stronger and more powerful together. We make it a point to discuss our scenes before shooting them just like we used to do while working in Ladies Special."
