Ravi Dubey & Nia Sharma Get Candid on Jamai Raja 2.0 & Their Off-screen Bonding!

As we know, Zee5 is bringing back the sequel of Zee TV’s popular show Jamai Raja. Retaining actors Ravi Dubey, Nia Sharma and Achint Kaur from the first edition, the makers have also added some new members in the family. The lead pair - Nia Sharma and Ravi Dubey got candid while sharing their journey from Jamai Raja to Jamai Raja 2.0 with India Forums.

 How is Jamai Raja 2.0 different from Jamai Raja?

Ravi: Everything is different, even though you have seen the entire Jamai Raja, you won’t be able to imagine what Jamai Raja 2.0 has for you. 

Nia: That story is no more there, spaces are the same, the names are the same but then the entire story has changed.

How comfortable were you all while doing scenes, during the time you all didn’t speak with each other? 

Nia: We were so much at loggerheads that we wanted to kill each other at one point in time. If we had knives then we would have at least slashed each other's throats with it. This is how bad we were but still, there came a time when we had differentiated between personal and professional and this how we were pulling it off. Also, there were times when we were so mad on the camera that we had a call from the channel and we were taken on a conference call and we were asked to mend our ways and work out the differences. Later, after a year when things dissolved by themselves and Ravi and I became friends, I think that was the thickest friendship I shared with Ravi and it never changed after that.

Ravi: She is my favourite co-star. Even during the time when we were fighting, I maintained huge regards for her and we were still taking the best Jodi award and here we are again as Jodi.

What was the best part of working together?

Ravi: I have been working since 2005 and there are very few friendships that I have taken beyond the project but then I really say it with the top of my voice that this friendship with Nia is going to stay for the rest of my life.

Nia: The best part with him is the comfort level I share with him. There is unsaid chemistry that I share with him and that level of comfort, I don’t think I’m going to share with anybody and what we bring to the table as jodi, I'm very happy with it.

We wish Ravi and Nia all the best for their show.
