Apart from the character, it was the title of the show that prompted him to take up the offer. "The title means my rights. This show gives me the opportunity to inspire and motivate youth to fight for their rights. Since it's a youth-based show, it has a lot of enigma, enthusiasm and freshness around. It gives me a feeling of being at the college. It's just that I am a mentor this time around and not a student," he says.
