Shardul Pandit of Channa Mereya opens up about being part of the show. #IndiaNEWS #Cinema /Showbiz,TV/OTT
Mumbai, July 14 (IANS) Bigg Boss 14 fame Shardul Pandit is seen as Armaan in Yash Patnaik and Mamta Patnaiks latest show Channa Mereya. The actor expresses his happiness having bagged the show and the character. He finds the title of the show both interesting and amusing.
It reminds me of Ranbir Kapoor. Dont we all think of him? Sometimes the name also reminds us of our exes, but now hopefully people will think of our show whenever they hear Channa Mereya. The title exudes Punjabi emotions and romance at its best, he says.
Sharduls on-screen character Armaan is shown as an honest and simple person. He is a good friend. This guy is going to be the link between Aditya (Karan Wahi) and the audience. He is someone who understands Aditya like no one does, not even his lady love.
Besides that, my reason for taking this up was personal, which everyone will get to know soon. People thought I didnt want to act anymore, they thought he does radio and is busy with that. So, every time a production house called they were like how will you manage. So, when I met the creative director she was like we will manage you just do this show. Hence, I am back, he said.
Shardul is enjoying his stint in this romantic show. I mean yes TV is known for saas-bahu sagas, but this show is where you would see romance at its best. It has strong male characters and we dont have anyone who is trying to ruin the heroines life. These are real people with real life problems. I feel the audiences who love DDLJ (Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge) will relate to it. Its all Punjabi, then there is love, and other emotions plus a great looking cast, so I am hoping that the audience would love it, he adds.
Talking more about his co-stars, he says that the best part of the show is that everyone in it is known. From Puneet Issar playing Dada ji to Karan Wahi as my best friend, the experience of shooting is the best. Karan and I were discussing this yesterday that when we both shoot together its so much fun as it doesnt feel like work.
In fact our director has to stop us from talking as we are like school friends sharing jokes and laughter. Karan very rightly told me that on the set if you like those who work with you, then you go back home happy. I am glad this cast is there, he shares.
Over the years, Shardul has witnessed many changes in the entertainment industry. Good thing is that people are now ready to experiment, and also ready to understand that you dont have to sit on a set every day to work. See how I am managing my work both on radio and TV. I got a lot to offer but they were like we cant adjust radio timings, but Yash sir and Mamta maam and the creative director made it possible, he said.
