Raghuvir, who is seen essaying the role of Brij Bhushan Dubey in the show believes that "Panchayat" is loved by all as it shares the everyday stories of small towns. 'It's incredible how Panchayat has resonated with everyone — children, young adults, elders — across villages, cities, and even overseas. When I was in Australia for a play, people of all ages came up to talk about the show," he shared.
Putting his finger on the reason for the success of the series, Raghuvir stated, 'At first, I couldn't quite put my finger on what made it so special. But then I realised — this is India, in its truest form. It is the 'simplicity, sincerity, the everyday stories of small towns, told with so much heart, that's what makes Panchayat so powerful.'

Virat Kohli And Anushka Sharma's Rs 32 Crore Alibaug Villa Is All About Quiet Luxury
Last Updated: Acquired by Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli in 2019, the couple's Alibaug home is more than just a weekend retreat. Intending to unwind away from the Mumbai spotlight, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma's Alibaug retreat is more than just a weekend home. It's a sanctuary of style, serenity, and smart design. Tucked in Alibaug's most coveted beachside stretch that is favoured by A-listers like Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli's Rs 32 crore villa is a striking example of slow luxury and nature-inspired minimalism. Designed by the renowned South African firm SAOTA (Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects) and helmed by Phillippe Fouché, the property is built across a 10,000-square-foot plot with a layout that breathes in light, space, and quiet opulence. Tech-Forward, Nature-Led Living View this post on Instagram A post shared by Virat Kohli (@ From a temperature-controlled pool to circadian lighting and gas leak detectors, the home's seamless integration of tech ensures wellness and comfort. Smart-home automation, air and water filtration, and app-managed energy controls make this villa as efficient as it is elegant.

There's a porch by the pool, a jacuzzi, a custom-built kitchen, and a dining nook in the garden – Virat's favourite spot. 'Here, I wake up, chill out, have lemon water, a cup of coffee, ease into it, and start afresh," he shared in the same interview.
