Exclusive: Nida Khurshid dishes on 'The Winchesters' cast, working with Jensen Ackles as Dean, the finale, pranks, and answers a surprise phone call

Silence on Set

Nida Khurshid is one of the nicest people on the planet. She popped onto the screen with no makeup on and, of course, looked beautiful. She has a big smile and claims she is a dork, but we instantly connect, constantly joking and talking as if we have been friends for years. At first, I even forgot to hit record, but once we got into the interview, I saw a side to Khurshid where she became vulnerable. She got emotional as she discussed the importance of being a strong woman with a diverse background on a hit television show. After that, it's a juggle between getting through the episodes, talking about behind-the-scenes fun, and laughing. I didn't want the interview to end, and when we were finished, I felt like I was saying goodbye to someone I had known for years and couldn't wait to speak to again. Khurshid is a fantastic actor who instantly makes you feel comfortable (I must try her cooking) and quickly befriends you. I had one of the best times getting to really meet her and break down all things 'The Winchesters.'
