Maana Ke Hum Yaar Nahi's Manjeet Makkar reacts to Krishna being compared with Arshad Warsi’s Romi

Star Plus’ Maana Ke Hum Yaar Nahi has started creating buzz among viewers. Starring Manjeet Makkar as Krishna and Divya Patil as Khushi, the show has been appreciated for its engaging storyline and the natural chemistry between the leads. Manjeet’s performance as Krishna has caught viewers’ attention, with many drawing comparisons between his character and Arshad Warsi’s memorable role as Romi in Hero Hindustani.

Both characters have a lively and street-smart personality, they’re quick thinkers, smooth talkers, and know how to find clever ways out of trouble. Despite their mischievous and humorous nature, they’re genuine at heart and value emotions and relationships deeply.

Talking about these similarities, Manjeet said, “My character Krishna, in Maana Ke Hum Yaar Nahi, reminds me a lot of Romi’s character which was played by Arshad Warsi in the film Hero Hindustani. Just like Romi, Krishna is a conman, street smart, witty, and full of ‘jugaad’. He’s the kind of person who always finds his way out of tricky situations with charm and cleverness.”

He further shared, “I’ve drawn a lot of inspiration from Romi while portraying Krishna, and it’s been such a fun experience to bring that same playful, quick-thinking energy to life on screen. Playing Krishna with that essence in mind makes the character even more exciting and layered for me.”

Maana Ke Hum Yaar Nahi follows the story of two people with contrasting lives. Krishna, played by Manjeet Makkar, is a clever and confident conman who knows how to use his charm to handle any situation. Meanwhile, Khushi, portrayed by Divya Patil, is a hardworking girl who earns a living by ironing clothes in her neighbourhood. Fate brings them together in an unexpected way, leading to a contract marriage that starts as a deal but gradually turns into a heartfelt journey of emotions, trust, and love.
