Jhalee fame Pratham Kunwar on his friendship with actress Neha Khan says, 'We share a very comfortable and deep bond'
Television actor Pratham Kunwar, who currently plays the titular role of Nirvair in the show, Jhalee Ki Kahani, feels Friendship is something to nurture and celebrate. He shares about his closest friend, Neha Khan , an actress by profession and says, "Neha and I have been friends for almost a decade now. We first met at an audition back in 2014–15 — it was for a Marathi film. She was new to the city, having come from Amravati, and I had just started out in the industry. Coincidentally, we both got selected for the same film (Gurukul), and that's where our friendship began." He continues, "Since then, we've got along really well and become very close — she's almost like family to me. She knows all my secrets, and I know hers too (haha!). We share a very comfortable and deep bond. Even though she got busy with her Marathi films and shows, and I moved into TV, we've always stayed in touch. She lives close to my place, so we meet quite often and celebrate most festivals together — Ganpati, Diwali, Eid — all of them" Speaking about his ongoing show, he shared that the narrative centers around two inseparable best friends — Jhalee (played by Apeksha Malviya), who is cheerful and full of life, and Amrit (portrayed by Isha Kaloya), who is more grounded and thoughtful. The story follows their closely connected lives as both of them unexpectedly fall in love with the same man, Nirvair (played by Pratham), setting the stage for an emotional and dramatic journey. The actor highlights the comparison between love and friendship. He shared, "When there's a strong friendship between two people and a third person enters the equation in the form of love, it's natural for that love to feel a bit insecure or jealous seeing that bond. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Real-Time Conversations in 68 Languages?

But I believe that's also important — because if your partner feels a little possessive or uncomfortable seeing your friendship, it means they genuinely care for you. It shows that your bond matters to them." "In fact, that's a good sign — but at the same time, love should also learn to respect and accept genuine friendships. Sometimes, love entering the equation can ruin the friendship between two people. But I feel, if that happens, then maybe that love wasn't right for you in the first place — because the one who truly loves you will understand and value your friendships too. In my show jhallee also you will see the same," he concluded. On professional front, Pratham was previously seen playing the titular role of Rishi in TV show Beti Hamari Anmol, and also appeared in shows like 'Guddan - Tumse Na Ho Paayega', 'Yeh Hai Chahatein', 'Meet: Badlegi Duniya Ki Reet', 'Rajjo' He also acted in mythological series like Mahakali - Anth Hi Aarambh Hai, Vighnaharta Ganesha and Siya Ke Ram.
