Working with Shabana Azmi was wonderful, says Rishabh Sawhney

After a successful career as a model and having done a lot of theatre, Rishabh Sawhney recently made his OTT debut with the web series, The Empire. The actor says, “I play Mehmood in the show. He’s the brother of Babur, who helps him reclaim the throne of a city called Samarkand. He helps him because Mehmood’s love interest is held captive by her dad, Abu Baksh, in Samarkand.”

Talking about sharing screen space with veteran actress Shabana Azmi, he adds, “Working with Shabana mam was very special. In my first ever show, I have a scene with her and that in itself fulfils a lot of check points in my list. I was nervous until the camera started rolling. But once we began shooting, the nervousness vanished. Shabana mam is very humble and down-to-earth.”
