Still going strong
Sidharth Shukla who has been seen in shows like Jaane Pehchane Se Ajnabi and Luv U Zindagi now will be a part of Colors' Balika Vadhu. On the 1000th episode of the showm he will bring a new change in Anandi's life.
Positive change: Sidharth Shukla |
Tell us about the role?
I am very delighted to be a part of Balika Vadhu, it is the number one show on television and everyone across my family and friends follow it religiously. The show from the start has maintained an interesting storyline and introduced wonderful characters that anyone would jump at to be part of. I play the role of a collector, Shiv. I can relate to this character in many ways - he is a man of principles and honest. I have lived by these values through my life and career.
What do you like most about the character?
I like the fact that he is an honest, impatient, righteous guy who is approachable yet has an attitude. He is into his job totally and as he knows his job he is confident and can handle any situation.
Do you think people will accept a new guy in their Anandi's life?
Balika Vadhu has shown the ills of child marriage, so while Jagya has gone ahead and remarried, it would be chauvinist to expect Anandi to stay at home and not have a life of her own. If she likes another guy, she should move on. She is a young girl who is doing well in life and is protective of family -women like her deserve more. I hope people accept the fact that she would want a husband too.
How important is this role for your career?
No doubt being in a iconic show like Balika is a big deal. The role is excellent and has added pressure for me as it is already a success. I join the team post 1000 episodes. I hope to keep up the good work and take it to higher success.
What do you think of the show?
Directors often change now days, but this is one show that has the same director since its inception. Therefore you see a show like Balika Vadhu running so strong for 1000 episodes and with the same clarity and sincerity in thought.
