Actor Asheema Vardaan, best known as Devika from the ALTBalaji series Dev DD, will be playing one of the villains in Abhay 2 on ZEE5. Directed by Ken Ghosh, the new episodes of the series are slated to  be released on September 4. 

Talking about her role, Asheema shares, "I'm playing one of the villains, who is a schizophrenic. She will not come across as a deviant person at all, in fact you may feel bad for her situation. It was quite challenging. Initially, when I got the script, I was told that this is the part. I had no idea about it. Luckily, I'm working with the director Ken Ghosh for the second time. Before, I did Dev DD for ALTBalaji with him. So it was easier to work with him and he was very clear in his mind. The challenging part was the mindset of the character because she had multiple personality disorder so to create that and show it was difficult. Then we figured it out with a few workshops."

On her rapport with series lead Kunal Keemu, she adds, "The working experience with Kunal was great. He is very sweet, down to earth and genuine. He is very smart and intelligent, and he knows his thing. He is truly a one-take artist. He is very helpful and supportive."
