You have a very mature new persona for the show. How do you like the look? Tell us about it.
Honestly, I love the look. It is very rooted yet has a subtle elegance to it. The costumes, styling, and overall vibe reflect the maturity and depth of my character perfectly. It is a shift from the younger, more flamboyant roles I have done before, and I am enjoying exploring this side.
I have never looked at a role thinking “lead” or “supporting.” For me, it has always been about the character- how layered, challenging, and truthful it is.
Tell us about the concept of the show Prathaon Ki Odhe Chunri: Beendani.
The show beautifully blends tradition with strong emotions. At its heart, it is about relationships, values, and the way culture shapes our choices. It is not just about drama; it is about the emotional journeys of people who feel real.
What do you think is the USP of the story plot?
The unpredictability. You cannot guess where it is heading. Every character has shades, and the relationships evolve in ways that feel honest yet surprising. That depth and unpredictability make it stand out from typical television narratives.
This show requires a Rajasthani dialect. How easy or difficult is it for you to adapt to the dialect and diction?
It feels like home to me. Being from Jaipur, I have grown up around the Rajputi way of speaking, which carries a sense of pride and dignity in every word. The dialect is not just about the sound; it is about the attitude and respect it holds. I have ensured that authenticity remains intact, so that when people hear it, they feel the same pride.
Your first role as lead. How are the nerves in you? Tell us about the feeling.
Honestly, I have never looked at a role thinking “lead” or “supporting.” For me, it has always been about the character- how layered, challenging, and truthful it is. This one just happens to be the central character, which comes with responsibility. But my focus is the same: to play it with honesty and make people believe in him.
