When contacted, Ridhwana, Creative Producer, Buddha acknowledged the huge fan base that Himanshu has managed to garner by saying, “When we were casting for Siddhartha, we picked Himanshu after a rigorous search.

We thought there would be quite a few reactions on him being accepted as Buddha. But it gives us enormous joy to see that the entire TV watching community has unanimously accepted Himanshu as their Buddha. He is being loved by one and all. And to tell you, in the online contest that we have put up, most of the votes have been got from youngsters between the age group of 16 years to 25 years.
