Season 2 begins right where season 1 ended, showing how Vasant tries to cheat h...

If I can model the rest of my career on what I was able to accomplish in Call Me Bae, I’ll be very happy,” begins Lisa Mishra, as we get on a call with her. The singer has made her acting debut with the Ananya Panday-led web series. Was it tough to switch gears to acting? It was all about prepping hard, says Mishra. “I did quite a few workshops with our director [Collin D’Cunha]. Being the least experienced actor on the set, I knew I had a big responsibility.
