TV actor
Sheel Verma
, who currently plays Jaiveer in the show Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain, talks about playing a double role in the show.
Transitioning from the intense and brooding Jaiveer to the light-hearted and quirky Bablu.
While the actor had been portraying Jaiveer since the show's inception, the latest track introduces Bablu — a street-smart thief with a heart of gold.
He says, 'My role of Jaiveer is quite royal, he is a gentleman and very focused. But now Bablu is a complete contrast, he is funny, a follower of Lord Hanuman. Bablu, though a thief by profession (a trade he learned from his mother), is driven by kindness. He can't see anyone sad.
He's a mumma's boy, good at heart and always ready with a witty one-liner.'
The actor revealed that for now, Jaiveer's track has been put on hold, with Bablu stepping into the narrative. 'Even I don't know what the future holds. The show is full of suspense. For now, the family thinks Jaiveer is dead. Rest it depends on the audience and their reaction upon bablu,' he explained.
When asked if playing two characters is a challenge, he said, 'Not at all. An actor is always up for new roles. Playing two different roles in the same show has been fun. Bablu brings a new energy, and I'm enjoying it — no stress like Jaiveer, who was dealing with heartbreak.'
He has been part of projects like Kabhi Kabhie Ittefaq Sey, Le Chalu Apan Duari, Shree Ramayan Katha and Meri Maa Karma.

Sheel Verma on playing two contrasting roles in Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurian: Bablu is full of energy and fun
They say an actor lives many lives through the characters they play, and for Sheel Verma , this couldn't be more true. Fans who were heartbroken by the untimely death of Jaiveer in the TV show Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain are in for a surprise. Because Sheel Verma is back—but not as the calm and noble Jaiveer. This time, he's stepping into the show with a completely new identity and energy as rough and shrouded Bablu. Sheel shared with a smile, 'I honestly feel blessed to get the chance to play two totally different characters in the same show. Jaiveer was royal, calm, and always serious. But Bablu? He's the exact opposite! He's funny, super energetic, and a big devotee of Lord Hanuman. Even though Bablu is a thief by profession, he's very clever and street-smart. He also believes that women are weaker than men, which adds an interesting side to his character. For Bablu, I completely changed my look—I cut my hair and wore clothes that were very different from what Jaiveer wore. Even small things like the Bali and bracelet really help bring Bablu's personality to life.' He further shared, 'Playing Bablu is actually a lot of fun! He has a different kind of energy, and when I bring that to the screen, it even boosts my own spirit. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Experience next-level CPAP comfort with Resmed AirSense 11 ResMed Enquire Now Undo I'm really excited to see how the audience reacts to Bablu—I'm confident they're going to love him.'

This Is How Ishita Ganguly Is Doing Her Bit For The Environment And So Can You
Ishita Ganguly shares the small, meaningful habits she follows that contribute to the environment. The world came together to mark Environment Day on June 5, with people taking small yet meaningful steps from planting trees to promoting eco-friendly habits, to protect the planet. Joining the cause were the lead actors of Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain—Diksha Dhami, Sheel Verma, and Ishita Ganguly, who took a break from their packed shooting schedule to participate in a special plantation drive near their set. The initiative served as a heartfelt tribute to Mother Earth, as each actor planted saplings and pledged to continue making sustainable choices for a greener tomorrow. Speaking to IANS, actress Ishita Ganguly, who plays the role of Chamkili in the show, shared her experience, saying, 'For me, Environment Day is not just about one day, it's about every little choice we make every single day." She added, 'Planting those saplings around our set felt really special. I've always found peace in nature – the sound of rustling leaves, the scent of wet soil after rain, or just watching the sky change colours at sunset. Nature grounds me and reminds me what truly matters." In the same conversation, Ishita highlighted the small, meaningful habits she follows that somehow contribute to the environment. Ishita said, 'To avoid future problems, I carry my own water bottle, avoid plastic, reuse what I can, and plant at least one sapling every year. These might seem like small things, but they make a big difference when done with intention." Reflecting on the healing power of nature, the actress said, 'We often look for magic in big achievements or faraway places, but honestly, the Earth is the real magician. It heals our body and soul in its unique ways. If we don't protect this magic now, we might lose it forever. I want to keep walking barefoot on soft grass, keep watching butterflies flutter around flowers, and keep breathing in fresh, clean air. Let's not wait for a miracle – let's be the miracle for Mother Earth. Happy Environment Day!" Coming to Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain, the show airs every Monday to Saturday at 9:00 PM on Shemaroo Umang. With its engaging storyline, impressive cast and high production values, it has quickly become a viewer favourite. Set against the regal backdrop of a grand haveli, the show delves into themes of love, power, societal expectations and the personal struggles of its characters. Besides Diksha, Sheel, and Ishita Ganguly, the sitcom also features Ektaa BP Singh and Gaurav Savita in the lead roles. First Published: June 06, 2025, 18:20 IST
