Tum Se Tum Tak's Niharika Chouksey Reacts To Age Difference With Sharad Kelkar
Sharad Kelkar and Niharika Chouksey's new show Tum Se Tum Tak has captured audiences' attention with its fresh concept and gripping narrative. However, the significant age difference between the leads has sparked discussion among viewers. Now, Niharika Chouksey opened up about working with Sharad Kelkar and addressed the age gap controversy in an interview with The Times of India.
Since the show's promo debuted a few months ago, the significant age difference between Sharad Kelkar and Niharika Chouksey has been a topic of discussion among netizens. Now, Niharika is speaking out about her experience working with Sharad, revealing that he prioritises her comfort and well-being on set, making her feel at ease during intimate scenes.
She said, 'I've never done any project with someone of my age. Talking about Sharad sir, I never felt anything weird, and Sharad sir always made me feel very comfortable. When I do a scene, I look at it as Anu, who's in love with Aryavardhan, and I leave Niharika in the vanity van and come—so I've never felt uncomfortable."
The actress further shared, 'I've never felt uncomfortable while doing the romantic scenes with him. My past co-actors have also had at least a 10–15-year age gap. Earlier, I used to get really affected by these things. However, over the years, I've realised that I can't really help these things, and all I can do is take constructive criticism. If people randomly start writing anything, I can't take it seriously, and I think every actor has to go through such things in their lives."
Niharika Chouksey isn't bothered by the online criticism surrounding her age gap with co-star Sharad Kelkar. In fact, she has a refreshingly candid approach to dealing with negative comments. 'Also, why should I care about what someone with a fake ID on social media is writing on my page? If my producer or someone says something, only then am I obliged to listen to it," she added.
The show revolves around the unconventional romance between Anu (Niharika Chouksey), a free-spirited 19-year-old with big dreams and strong values, and Aryavardhan (Sharad Kelkar), a 46-year-old ruthless yet charming business tycoon with a disciplined approach to life. As their worlds collide, their contrasting backgrounds and ages spark a complex and intriguing love story.

Apoorva Mukhija's Ex-BF Utsav Dahiya Makes New Claims: 'Someone Is Trying To...'
Last Updated: Interestingly, this comes days after Utsav Dahiya also accused Apoorva Mukhija of cheating. Apoorva Mukhija's former boyfriend, Utsav Dahiya, has alleged that somebody is trying to hack his Instagram handle. On Friday, he took to his Instagram stories and sought help from Meta to resolve the issue. 'I am not surprised (lowkey disappointed though) that my account's privacy is being compromised. Someone's constantly trying to hack into my account today. I have had to remove 3-4 devices before posting this. If there's anyone from meta that can help me resolve this please reach out," Utsav wrote. Interestingly, this comes days after Utsav Dahiya also accused Apoorva Mukhija of cheating. His latest song, titled 'Cute Little Red Flag", went viral and triggered widespread speculation. In the song, he seemingly called out Apoorva, accusing her of cheating and 'talking nonsense." The pointed lyrics, coupled with a sharp caption, portray him as retaliating in what many called a digital war of words. Without directly naming Apoorva, Utsav accused her of distorting stories and using her large following as a weapon. He warned, 'Ab agar koi aur bakwaas kari toh main seedha receipts nikalunga (If you continue to spread nonsense, I will release the receipts)." Apoorva Mukhija Reacts To 'Cheating' Allegations Recently, Apoorva Mukhija also responded to allegations of cheating by her former boyfriend, Utsav Dahiya. As reported by TellyChakkar, The Rebel Kid recently took to the comments section of one of Utsav's Instagram posts and wrote, 'The truth always comes out babe, it's just a matter of timing." Besides this, Apoorva also took to the stories section of her Instagram and shared a couple of cryptic notes. While one of the stories shared by the 23-year-old read, 'I just randomly got over it, and now I can't stop laughing," another added, 'I only learn my lesson when I teach it to myself." Who Is Utsav Dahiya? Far from being just a 'Rebel Kid ex", Utsav Dahiya has his own credentials. According to his Instagram bio, he works as an Associate at Morgan Stanley and is currently based in the Sydney office. A graduate in Electronics and Communication Engineering from PEC University, Chandigarh, Utsav started his corporate career in 2019 as an analyst at the same firm. Alongside his professional life, he has cultivated a following of over 93,000 on Instagram, where he posts travel updates, lifestyle snippets, and original music.
