Saraf's ongoing year has been particularly fruitful, as he has embarked on creative endeavors that resonate deeply with his artistic vision.

Recalling the release of the original Ishq Vishq, Saraf revealed his youthful fascination with Shahid Kapoor's iconic performance. Having initially witnessed the film at age seven, he later developed a profound appreciation for Kapoor's contributions to Bollywood romance. I was obsessed with songs and how incredible a dancer Shahid Kapoor is, Saraf shared. It's actors like Shahid sir and Hrithik sir (Hrithik Roshan) who have inspired an entire generation to learn dancing.
Saraf's own artistic aspirations were ignited by the captivating performances of Kapoor and Roshan, inspiring him to pursue a similar path. I was among that lot and wanted to learn dancing after watching the incredible duo and aspired to become like them, he confessed.
