Since the release of the trailer of the Amazon Prime Original series, Jee Karda, audiences have been captivated by actor Aashim Gulati's dynamic and uninhibited character, Arjun Gill. The series revolves around a group of seven childhood friends who come to realise that life in their thirties is far from what they had envisioned during their younger years. Aashim portrays a singer-rapper in the series and is thrilled to embrace the role given he bears a passion for singing in real life.

Telling about his special connection to music, he shares, “Music se mera ek rishta hai (I have a special relationship with music). I genuinely believe, if I wasn’t an actor, I'd be a singer. So that is inherent, and I feel like music is something that is just God in it. I love being on stage and even if I am not a singer, just for the pure joy of being on the stage and performing and then having the feel of the energy of the people and it’s just electric. I love that. So for me, I’ve lived my dream of becoming a singer through Arjun Gill. And for me, it was a delight to play. I loved every minute of it.”
