Pratham Kunwar: This is the first time I'm playing the role of a Sardar onscreen
Television actor Pratham Kunwar, who has appeared in shows like
Guddan - Tumse Na Ho Paayega
,
Yeh Hai Chahatein
,
Rajjo
, and mythological dramas such as
Mahakali
and
Siya Ke Ram
, is taking on a new challenge in
Jhalee Ki Kahani
.
He plays the titular role of Nirvair — a Punjabi man returning from abroad after completing his studies.
'This is the first time I'm playing the role of a Sardar onscreen,' Kunwar shared. 'It's a refreshing change for me as an actor, especially with the full turban look and all the cultural nuances. I'm truly excited about this new role because it's very different from anything I've done before. It brings a fresh set of challenges, but I'm fully prepared and looking forward to giving it my best.'
To ensure authenticity, Kunwar has immersed himself in Punjabi content. 'I don't personally have any close Sikh friends, but yes — I've been watching Punjabi content and shows to help me connect with the character on a deeper level,' he said. 'I want to make sure the portrayal feels authentic, from the body language to the dialect and overall vibe.'
The show also focuses on the dynamic between three characters — Jhalee (Apeksha Malviya), Amrit (Isha Kaloya), and Nirvair — introducing a love triangle. 'I've had experience with this kind of setup in my previous show. Once I understand the chemistry and emotional graph with both characters, it becomes smoother. That said, it's still creatively challenging — but that's what makes it exciting as an actor.'

Karan Aujla, Honey Singh fail to appear before Punjab women's commission
Punjabi singers Karan Aujla and YoYo Honey Singh, who were summoned for objectionable lyrics in their latest songs, failed to appear before the Punjab State Women's Commission on Monday. Both of them are currently abroad. Punjabi singers YoYo Honey Singh (left) and Karan Aujla were summoned by the Punjab State Women's Commission for vulgar lyrics in their latest songs, but they failed to appear before it on Monday. (HT file) The women's panel had taken suo motu notice of the offensive lyrics in Karan Aujla's 'MF Gabru' and Honey Singh's latest track 'Millionaire' on Thursday, summoning them to appear at the commission's office in Chandigarh at 11am on August 11. State women's commission chairperson Raj Lali Gill said that she had spoken to both the singers and they 'felt sorry' about their inability to appear before the panel. 'They informed me that they are currently outside the country for their pre-scheduled projects. Both singers assured that they will appear before the commission when they come to India after completing their shoots. In the meantime, their lawyers will submit their replies. I will get the police report in two to three days,' she said. While summoning the duo, the women's panel chief had asked Punjab Police to investigate the matter. In two letters to Punjab director general of police Gaurav Yadav, she wrote that a senior police officer should immediately conduct an investigation and take necessary action according to the law. The investigating officer should be instructed to ensure that the status report regarding the action taken and the singers concerned are present at the commission's office on August 11, the letter said. 'The commission takes such matters very seriously and is committed to protecting women's rights and dignity,' Gill wrote in the letters. She also told reporters that those who use such language cannot be tolerated. Both songs are being shared widely on social media.
