Actor Anupriya Goenka plays Nikhat Hussain, who is assisting Madhav Mishra – portrayed by Pankaj Tripathi – in Anu Chandra’s defense.
Speaking about her on and off screen relationship with Pankaj Tripathi, Anupriya Goenka said, “For me, the highlight of working on Criminal Justice and Criminal Justice: Behind Closed Doors has been my camaraderie with Pankaj Tripathi. There’s a beautiful understanding that has developed between the two characters in the series, as well as in real life, there’s a lot of trust and mutual respect between the two of us. I treasure my off-camera conversations with him which aren’t necessarily about scene and acting, but also about topics like politics and life at large. I feel this reel and real partnership reflects quite well, which is why our chemistry was well appreciated in Criminal Justice. In the next chapter, the on-screen partnership between Madhav Mishra and Nikhat Hussain has evolved a lot, and I hope that comes through.”
