Hitesh Bharadwaj says his character in Aami Dakini is not a ‘typical hero’: ‘Mystery in his..’

Actor Hitesh Bharadwaj is all set to return to the screen with his upcoming show Aami Dakini, where he plays a character very different from his past roles. In a recent conversation, he opened up about what makes this project stand out, and why viewers can expect something fresh and emotionally intense.

What new will this character offer to the viewers?

Ayaan is unlike anyone I have played before. He is intense, layered, and emotionally guarded. Raised in London but rooted in Kolkata through memory, he is constantly torn between logic and longing. Viewers will witness a man caught in a web of personal loss, family secrets, and an unraveling reality. He is not your typical hero. He observes more than he speaks, and when he acts, it is with precision and depth. There is mystery in his silence.

The series explores themes of identity, grief, and memory, using Ayaan’s emotional state as the central lens through which the story unfolds.

Tell us about the family dynamics involved with the mystery.

The heart of Aami Dakini lies in its twisted family dynamics. Ayaan returns to India for his late mother’s last wish but is pulled into a legacy he never knew existed. Every family member harbors secrets, and the house he returns to feels more haunted by memory than by spirits. It is less about good versus evil and more about the grey zones in bloodlines where love, betrayal, guilt, and fear coexist.

Set against the backdrop of Kolkata, the show appears to combine psychological drama with a strong emotional core. With Bharadwaj at the center, the narrative is expected to unravel both internal and external mysteries—drawing viewers into a world where the past is as alive as the present.

Aami Dakini will soon premiere on television, and marks another significant shift in Bharadwaj’s evolving body of work.
