‘Ram Bhavan' actor Khushbu Rajendra: 'A woman can be the strength behind her husband's success'
We've all seen the narrative of a man supporting his wife's educational or career goals on television and in our real lives. It's to the point that it elicits nothing more than a shrug. But ' Ram Bhavan ', starring Khushbu Rajendra as Isha and Mishkat Verma as Om, turns this trope on its head. Taking the age-old saying 'behind every successful man is a woman' to a whole new level, the show puts a spotlight on Isha as the heart of this story. She stands strong beside Om, not just as a supportive wife, but as a driving force. While Om juggles his dream of landing a government job, Isha encourages him to take up work as a Zapido driver — a step forward, no matter how small. Om isn't perfect; his laid-back attitude has kept him unemployed and underachieving. He's rough around the edges, flawed, and often at odds with his own potential. But even at his lowest, he doesn't back down from standing up to his sister-in-law Gayatri's constant jabs. What he lacks in direction, he makes up for in grit. He knows he's meant for more, he just needs a nudge and that nudge comes in the form of Isha, a woman of strength and quiet grace. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like People Aged 50-85 With No Life Insurance Could Get This Reassured Get Quote Undo Khushbu Rajendra, playing the role of Isha shares her thoughts, 'It's wonderful to be part of a story that genuinely surprises people. So often, both on-screen and in real life, we're so used to seeing men lifting the women in their lives — helping them study, pursue careers, or find their independence. And that's beautiful. But Ram Bhavan takes that familiar idea and flips it. Isha is Om's backbone. She's the silent power that pushes him to become something more. It's such a simple and subtle shift, but it sends a loud and powerful message that a woman can absolutely be the strength behind her husband's success, the wind beneath her husband's wings. She can be the one pushing, believing, and standing by him as he builds his future. For me personally, portraying Isha made me reflect on the quiet strength of the women around me, the patience they hold, the way they carry their families without asking for credit.'

Exclusive - Summit Jaiswal on his role in Ram Bhavan; says 'There's a responsibility when you know the audience is attached...'
In an era where television often leans heavily on spectacle, Ram Bhavan actor Summit Jaiswal believes in a more grounded approach. Playing Sunny in the Rahul Kumar Tewary 's show, Summit emphasizes storytelling over superficial polish. 'I believe the glamour quotient should serve the story, not overshadow it,' he says. 'In Ram Bhavan, the focus is on realism, emotion, and relatable characters.' Set in a small-town backdrop, the show aims to reflect the understated yet poignant lives of its characters. For Summit, the authenticity of Sunny's world is what draws viewers in, not glossy distractions. The actor also highlights the importance of evolution within a long-running narrative.

'Twists and surprises work best when they arise naturally from the character's journey.' Summit credits the show's writers for maintaining this balance, incorporating hidden motives and evolving relationships without losing sight of the show's core. Playing Sunny has required Summit to continually re-engage with the character. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 'Saya tak mau mati': Sakit berat tak surutkan mimpi gadis ini untuk jadi dokter CNA Indonesia Baca Undo 'A twist isn't just a plot device—it's an emotional shift,' he shares. Whether it's a family dispute or a moral challenge, each new turn adds depth to Sunny, and Summit approaches every change with thoughtful attention. 'I reflect on how he would truly feel, what his actions or silence mean, and how it aligns with his values.' Adapting to these shifts isn't always seamless. 'It's both exciting and challenging,' he admits. 'When the shift is sudden or intense, it demands recalibrating Sunny's emotional compass.' Still, he sees this as the craft's true reward. While audience reaction does bring a layer of pressure, Summit keeps his focus on emotional honesty. 'There's a responsibility when you know the audience is attached to the character,' he acknowledges, 'but if the change is grounded and truthful, I trust the viewers will follow.' Ram Bhavan may not rely on glamour, but its emotional depth—and Summit's steady hand—are clearly at the heart of its resonance.

Ajay Singh Chaudhary on joining Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin midway: It's exciting to be part of a long-running show
Ajay Singh Chaudhary Soon after joining Ram Bhavan , Ajay Singh Chaudhary has now taken on a pivotal role in Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin , in which he portrays another intense, negative character . Sharing details about his role, he says, 'I play Shrichand Goyal, a powerful business tycoon with his own set of motives. He's a man of influence, and how his presence impacts the lives of Savi (Bhavika Sharma), Rajat (Hitesh Bharadwaj), and their family will be revealed in the upcoming track. ' Given that the show has undergone major revamps recently — with the latest being perceived as a final attempt to revive ratings — was Ajay hesitant about coming on board? 'Any show that runs for a long time will naturally see changes in its cast and storyline,' he explains.

Every producer aims to improve their show, and that's exactly what the makers of Ghum are doing. The audience is loyal, and the story they're venturing into now is different. Honestly, any actor would be happy to be part of such a well-established show.' Ajay also shares a personal connection with the show's producer. 'Rajesh Ram Singh, who's producing Ghum, directed Phulwa (2011–2012), and we've shared a strong friendship since then. He's always been more than just a colleague — a mentor, a guide, and like family. It really feels like a homecoming. We've wanted to work together again for years, and it's finally happening.' Managing two daily soaps can be demanding, but Ajay feels supported by both teams. 'I've also had a longstanding bond with Rahul Tewary, the producer of Ram Bhavan. He was the co-producer of Phulwa and has been like an elder brother to me. When he offered me the role, I didn't hesitate for a second. Both Rajesh and Rahul are more like family than just producers. So professionally, yes, it's a challenge — but the personal camaraderie makes it seamless. Things are running smoothly now, and I believe they'll continue that way,' he says.

Mishkat Verma and Khushbu Rajendra celebrate as Ram Bhavan clocks 100 episodes; former says 'I genuinely feel lucky to be part of this story and this team'
When ' Ram Bhavan ' began its journey, it gave viewers a peek into a family full of love, drama, and power struggles. Set inside an old haveli in Prayagraj , the show captured how every room and relationship carried a story, some loud, some silent. In this house, bonds are tested every day. 100 episodes later, 'Ram Bhavan' has become that rare kind of show where the house is not just a backdrop, but the heart of every twist and emotion. From Om's efforts to prove his worth in a family that often doubts him, to Isha's quiet resistance against Gayatri's control, the two are united by one goal, to make Ram Bhavan a place their family can finally call home. Now, with 100 episodes completed, Ram Bhavan is at a turning point. Om is trying hard to focus on his studies and make things right, while Isha is quietly trying to stand on her own. But nothing comes easy in this house. Operation Sindoor Operation Sindoor: Several airports in India closed - check full list Did Pak shoot down Indian jets?

Om wants to say sorry, but Isha has reached her limit. Just when it feels like they're getting close, something or someone pulls them apart again. In the middle of it all, Om and Isha are drifting — even though deep down, they still want the same thing: to be seen, heard, and understood. Mishkat Verma , who plays Om, shares, 'Crossing a 100-episode milestone of Ram Bhavan is special as it's not just any other story; it's a slice of life that many people relate to. Om is not your usual hero, he's flawed, impulsive, and yet deeply emotional. I've enjoyed every moment of understanding his layers and how he reacts under pressure. The journey from being just a Jugaadu to someone who now tries to carry the weight of an entire house has been beautiful and challenging. What's kept us all going is the audience's love, the way they root for Om, forgive his mistakes, and want to see him rise. I genuinely feel lucky to be part of this story and this team.' Khushbu Rajendra , who plays Isha, adds, 'When I first read about Isha and the story arc, I was sure about learning a lot from it, but little did I know how much I'd personally grow with the character. From being a girl who had everything, to suddenly being questioned, doubted, and displaced — her journey is every woman's silent battle for dignity and space. Shooting for Ram Bhavan has been emotionally intense but so rewarding. The house, the characters, the conflicts — they all feel so real. And to have reached 100 episodes with this incredible cast and crew, it's honestly overwhelming. I'm grateful for the love and the connection the audience has built with Isha — I hope we continue to make them feel seen and heard.'

Rambhavan actor Mishkat Verma: Marriage is about choosing each other every day
In India, marriage is more than just a union of two individuals, it's a sacred bond that intertwines families, traditions, and expectations. Capturing those sentiments, the compelling drama 'Ram Bhavan' puts marriage at the centre as a force that shifts the very foundation of a family. The latest twist—Om marrying Isha—has turned the entire household upside down. What began as a last-minute solution to save the family's reputation after Isha's sister, Mili, elopes, quickly transforms into something much more personal. Om, known for his sharp wit and jugaadu instincts, stuns everyone, including Isha by agreeing to marry her in the heat of the moment. But there's more to this decision than meets the eye. It's a quiet rebellion against Gayatri, the eldest bahu who has long ruled Ram Bhavan with an iron grip. As the post-marriage drama unfolds, the focus shifts to the uneasy, forced relationship between Om and Isha. Two people who were never meant to be together now find themselves questioning what love, marriage, and commitment really mean. What started as a practical solution has transformed into a personal struggle. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like [Click Here] - 2025 Top Trending Search - Local network access Esseps Learn More Undo Both are faced with the challenge of navigating their new reality, understanding each other's fears, desires, and expectations from families. Opening up about his character's shift and his own beliefs, Mishkat shares, 'Om never thought he'd marry Isha—of all people! But life has its plans. What I like about Om is he's not trying to be a hero; he's just doing what feels right. Now that he's married, he's realizing the weight of that decision. I think many people rush into marriage without truly knowing their partner, and that's when things can go wrong. Personally, I believe it's important to have standards for yourself before committing. Spend some time understanding yourself and your partner—how they handle challenges. Love is essential, but respect, compatibility, and mutual understanding are what keep a marriage strong. Marriage isn't about grand gestures; it's about choosing each other every day. I hope the viewers take that away from this show.' In the current storyline, Om lands a job through jugaad, but Gayatri records the truth and plans to use it to create a rift between him and Isha. As Om decides to earn the job on merit, Isha stands by him and helps him prepare. Sumbul Touqeer and Mishkat Verma: We both love gossip and we know a lot about each other
