TV actor
Sheel Verma
, who currently plays Jaiveer in the show Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain, talks about playing a double role in the show.
Transitioning from the intense and brooding Jaiveer to the light-hearted and quirky Bablu.
While the actor had been portraying Jaiveer since the show's inception, the latest track introduces Bablu — a street-smart thief with a heart of gold.
He says, 'My role of Jaiveer is quite royal, he is a gentleman and very focused. But now Bablu is a complete contrast, he is funny, a follower of Lord Hanuman. Bablu, though a thief by profession (a trade he learned from his mother), is driven by kindness. He can't see anyone sad.
He's a mumma's boy, good at heart and always ready with a witty one-liner.'
The actor revealed that for now, Jaiveer's track has been put on hold, with Bablu stepping into the narrative. 'Even I don't know what the future holds. The show is full of suspense. For now, the family thinks Jaiveer is dead. Rest it depends on the audience and their reaction upon bablu,' he explained.
When asked if playing two characters is a challenge, he said, 'Not at all. An actor is always up for new roles. Playing two different roles in the same show has been fun. Bablu brings a new energy, and I'm enjoying it — no stress like Jaiveer, who was dealing with heartbreak.'
He has been part of projects like Kabhi Kabhie Ittefaq Sey, Le Chalu Apan Duari, Shree Ramayan Katha and Meri Maa Karma.
