Actor-filmmaker Manish Raisinghani, who is known for his performance in shows like Kaahin Kissii Roz, Kahiin to Hoga, Kkehna Hai Kuch Mujhko, Teen Bahuraniyaan, Sasural Simar Ka, and Ek Shringaar-Swabhiman, feels when success arrives before you are ready for it or the spotlight grows brighter than your mind can bear, it’s easy to settle into the comfort of recognition. But he believes that every spotlight becomes a starting point and not a destination. 

Manish Raisinghani talks about his Sasural Simar Ka days 

He said, "When your character is a superstar, one can easily slip into the comfort of that spotlight. But while Sameer Gheewala in Teen Bahuraniyaan and Siddhant in Sasural Simar Ka were living their stardom, Manish was busy flirting with life and also was quietly building another dream in the world of Indie-filmmaking. After 13-hour shoots, I’d stop being Siddhant and go back to being a student of cinema, in front of and behind the camera. Avika (Gor) and I would shoot short films before and after work; while the characters were shining on screen, we were hustling in the shadows."
