Vihaan Samat on playing Agastya in Call Me Bae
Vihaan plays the role of Agastya, a rich businessman who falls in love with Bae, aka Bella, played by Ananya, and eventually ends up marrying her. Talking about how he reacted after getting the project, Vihaan told Zoom, "My first reaction was, Oh my god, it's kick-a**. He's imposing, he's confident, he's privileged; he's a billionaire. And the show is backed by great producers. So yeah, it sounded to me as a great project, as a flagship project."
He also spilled some beans about the shooting experience and said, "I auditioned and then I read the whole script and figured out the character. I had many calls with Collin over the phone. Then more readings with Ananya, and with the Amazon team. We improved more; it was a solid wrong preparation. Then the show started; it took 2 to 3 months."

Vihaan further recalled a memorable anecdote saying, "Every day was memorable. Every day was new to me. The first day I started at an apartment, and everyone was there. All the cast was sitting in one bed, and they were talking about life and playing board games. I was like, It is a sleepover."
When asked about the work experience with Ananya, Vihaan promptly replied, "She is honestly amazing. She's very professional. She is always on time, prepared, knows her lines, knows what she needs to do, is fully there, fully present, and gives her best in every take. When cameras are off, she's chirpy and fun. She sits and chats, chats about life and what's going on. It was very chill only. It was a happy experience."
