'The girls will be the next biggest celebrities on TV' - Kiran Kumar

Kiran Kumar makes a come back to the small screen after a hiatus with Star Plus’s Grahasti. Grahasti is a story based on women and their struggle in life. The veteran actor here portrays the role of Balraaj Khurana, the shelter to these women who are a world in its own for him. But as destiny prevails, Balraaj will soon make an exit only to leave these woman to the fate of bad times and hardships. Kiran Kumar talks to the Telly Buzz team on his journey on Grahasti…

“My journey in the show is quite short lived.” quotes the actor. Further on the character, Kiran states, “I started my career with television and have done more than five thousand episodes, portraying various characters. Balraaj tops the charts, and I feel is the best character that I’ve done so far. Balraaj is a character that has been taken to the highest peak and left there. When a good character is written, after reaching a certain point, the downfall for the character begins, but its completely different with Balraaj, he’s just cut off at the right point, which is very important for the story. It‘s only with Balraaj's exit, does the show take off. And as its rightly said, All good things have to come an end, same is the case with Balraaj and for this, I cannot thank the producers of the show enough for picking me for the role”.

Speaking about the show Kiran explains, “This is show is women oriented, however, there is a certain freshness to the story. The characters are quite colorful and different from one another. Balraaj’s sister is quite a joyous playful character while Balraaj’s daughters are unique in their own ways and their characters are beautifully sketched.” Kiran ends with his best wishes for the girls, “These girls are surely going to be the next biggest celebrities on television. They’re immensely talented and I hope they reach to even greater heights…”
