Keshav Mehta: I left dentistry and went ahead with my acting dream
Keshav Mehta, recognised for his roles in various television shows, initially pursued dentistry due to his passion for science. Actor Keshav Mehta, known for shows like Bada Naam Karenge , Ziddi Girls , Dil Ko Tumse Pyaar Hua , and Appnapan... Badalte Rishton Ka Bandhan , is now seen in Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan as warrior Ranveer Bhan. But before acting happened, he was on a very different path. 'Acting was always the dream—and luckily, my parents were completely supportive of it,' says Mehta. 'Dentistry happened thanks to my genuine love for science back in school. But during Covid, everything slowed down—and that gave me the clarity I needed. I realised it was finally time to stop holding back and go all in on what I truly wanted. I left dentistry and went ahead with my acting dream, and there's been no looking back since. ' Despite not having formal acting training, Keshav leapt with courage and commitment. 'I hadn't learned acting professionally. I took a few workshops and theatre classes here and there—and I still try to attend workshops whenever I can. Honestly, I feel like I've learned the most on set and through the constant grind of auditioning. That hands-on experience has been my best teacher so far!' Speaking about his current role in Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan , he adds, 'After actor Ronit Roy bids adieu to his character of King Someshwar, the story introduced me. I'm playing a powerful and dignified character of a warrior, Ranveer Bhan. He is described as one of the important people in Chauhan's life. I'm delighted to play the role and bring depth, grace, and gravitas to the noble warrior, winning hearts across generations.'

Keshav Mehta on embracing his inner warrior for ‘Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan'; says ‘I've been diving deep into the world of period dramas'
Actor Keshav Mehta, known for his work in shows like Bada Naam Karenge, Ziddi Girls, Dil Ko Tumse Pyaar Hua, and Appnapan… Badalte Rishton Ka Bandhan, is set to make his period drama debut in Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan. Playing the character of warrior Ranveer Bhan, Keshav is excited about this challenging new phase of his career. Sharing his excitement, Keshav said, 'This is my first-ever period drama where I'm playing a warrior, Ranveer Bhan, and it's definitely been a tough ride, from horse riding to sword fights.' He further added, 'I truly believe we all have a warrior inside us. I'm just lucky enough to explore mine a little more deeply.' His character will be introduced after actor Ronit Bose Roy's exit as King Someshwar. 'I'm playing a powerful and dignified character of a warrior Ranveer Bhan. He is described as one of the important people in Chauhan's life. I'm delighted to play the role and bring depth, grace, and gravitas to the role of the noble warrior, winning hearts across generations,' Keshav shared. Preparing for this demanding role, Keshav is immersing himself in the genre. 'To prepare for my role, I've been diving deep into the world of period dramas—watching shows with a similar vibe whenever I get a breather.' He added, 'Between scenes, you'll probably find me bonding with my horse (we're getting there!), practicing sword fight moves, or rehearsing action sequences. I'm also consciously working on shifting my tone—speaking more like the era, and less like our everyday lingo. And of course, every performer brings their own little masala to the mix… That's the chef's secret ingredient. Cheers!' The show also stars Padmini Kolhapure, Rumi Khan, Urva Savaliya, Anuja Sathe, and Avinesh Rekhi.

9 episode series will melt your heart, a love story which will blow your mind, has 8.7 IMDb rating, series is..., lead actors are...
In a world obsessed with dark twists, true crime, and shock value, this series can be the calm in the chaos — a breath of fresh, familiar air. It proves that a story doesn't need sleaze, spectacle, or suspense to strike a chord. Sometimes, simplicity is the power move. If you are still guessing, let help you. We are talking about Bada Naam Karenge! Following the legacy of real-world charmers like Gullak and Panchayat, this show invites you into a space that feels lived-in — middle-class homes, quietly chaotic families, and hearts that speak more in glances than grand gestures. Bada Naam Karenge – Plot At the centre are Surbhi and Rishabh — old friends, now reintroduced under the polite disguise of an arranged marriage. Their banter isn't filmy; it's full of subtext and stifled smiles. But just when you expect this to be a light-hearted reunion, lockdown hits. And with it, the twist: they must live together. No escape. Just endless days to unpack not just luggage, but layers of history, ego, affection, and unspoken emotion. That's where Bada Naam Karenge quietly shines — not in drama, but in the domestic. The silences are loud, the pauses intentional. In just nine episodes, it explores what many shows fail to in full seasons: the sweet discomfort of reconnection, the tension between past and present, and the often underrated art of just being. Bada Naam Karenge – IMDb rating With an IMDb rating of 8.7, it's clear that audiences are craving heart over hype. And behind the scenes? The signature storytelling touch of Sooraj Barjatya — the man who made Sanskar cinematic — now marks his graceful digital debut. Bada Naam Karenge isn't here to trend — it's here to stay. It's that rare show you don't binge, but savour — like chai in the evening, or rereading an old letter.

After reaching a certain age, you trust a film more than a star: Sooraj Barjatya
Filmmaker , who captured the charm and innocence of old-school romance in the 90s superhits like Maine Pyar Kiya , Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! and later Vivah, in a conversation with us, reveals how he still believes in pure love stories and fairy-tale-like romances. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'We should keep the Prince Charming alive in our films' While Bollywood hasn't seen the quintessential lavish love story on screen for some time now, Sooraj truly believes in the power of that kind of romance. He said, "It is high time we go back to our roots and make films around simple characters and show dreamy scenes. It is important to keep the Prince Charming alive in our films. We might believe that the youth has fallen for dating apps and relationships are no longer permanent, but I don't think that's true. We should never give up on the pure definition of love because everyone at their core does believe in long-lasting romance." 'Web platforms should not stick to just the thriller genre' Sooraj, who recently forayed into the web space with the show Bada Naam Karenge, which revolved around a love story, shares, "I thought the web space was only about maar-dhaad and thriller shows. But I am glad these platforms are now interested in making love stories, too. When I have a story which can't be told in just two hours, I think the web platform is a good choice as it will do justice to it.' 'Salman is a star for the masses, but I know he is still that simple Prem I met many years ago' Sooraj, who has worked with in many hit films, wants to work with Salman and Madhuri again, but not in a sequel to any movie. "I would not want to make a sequel with them, and even if I were offered to make a sequel to Maine Pyar Kiya, it would have a fresh cast," he explained. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He added, "Salman and I share the same level of friendship even after so many years. He might be a star for the masses and puts up that persona, but at heart, he is a simple guy who likes to sit outside the vanity van in a chair and interact with the crew. If there is a good script with characters that suit them, I would work with Salman and Madhuri. One wants to work with stars, but I have always believed that a good script is bigger than anything else. After reaching a certain age, you trust a good film more than a star." Film with Salman is on, says Sooraj Barjatya
