Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain actor Sheel Verma shares his love for Mumbai; says 'It tests your dreams before fulfilling them'
They say Mumbai fulfils everyone's dreams; once you fall in love with it, it makes you its own forever.
Actor
Sheel Verma
, who plays the lead in the
TV show
Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain
, is living proof of this belief. In a heartfelt conversation, Sheel opened up about his inspiring journey in the city of
dreams
and how Mumbai became his
karmabhumi
— the land where he found his true calling.
Sharing his story, Sheel said "Mumbai is truly a land of destiny. It tests your dreams before fulfilling them. I remember an elderly man once told me, 'This land will push you to your limits for 60 days. If you endure, it will give you everything you dream of.' And those words have stayed with me. Arriving in Mumbai wasn't easy. I started in a simple MHADA colony, holding onto my dreams through every struggle. But over time, the city embraced me.
Six and a half years later, every challenge and small victory has brought me closer to the life I had always imagined. What I love most about Mumbai, and Maharashtra overall, is its vibrant spirit — from the energy of
Ganesh Chaturthi
to the inspiring stories of warriors like
Shivaji Maharaj
and Sambhaji Maharaj. This land isn't just about living; it's about celebrating life, fighting for it, and earning it with pride. It has blessed me in ways I can't even put into words."
