Actress Mahima Makwana has come a long way since starting her career on television as a child artiste. After being seen in Musafir Cafe, where her performance as Preeti connected with the audience, the actress is now looking forward to the show’s second season. In an exclusive conversation with The Free Press Journal, Mahima opened up about returning as Preeti, her journey after Antim, and Bollywood’s perception of television actors.

Talking about the love received by Musafir Cafe, Mahima says she became emotionally attached to Preeti, which made the audience’s response even more rewarding. With Season 2 now announced, she is as curious as the viewers about where the story will go.

For Mahima, preparing for the new season begins with understanding Preeti’s emotional state. "I don’t like to over-prepare in terms of creating something that isn’t there. I like to understand the character, read the material properly and then allow myself to be present on set. With Preeti, I think there’s a lot more to explore, so I’m looking forward to discovering that side of her.," she said.

When asked what the audience can expect from the second season, Mahima stated, "They can expect the same emotional world but with the characters going through a different phase of their lives. Season 1 raised a lot of questions about love, choices and what we really want from our relationships. Season 2 will take those emotions forward."
