Aakashdeep: Bad boy forever! - Article

Now that the big raaz of Mayank (Rahoul Lohani) being KT's (Mouni Roy) actual rapist is out, how does Eklavya (Aakashdeep Saigal) feel about being tossed as the bait for every misdeed in the Virani household?

So far Kyunki...'s track has been that Tulsi had always been unfair to Ansh and his children, Eklavya and Bhumi (Reshmi Ghosh) by rating them negative. Earlier she was against Bhumi's lifestyle, who was forcibly married to Joydeep and then she broke Eklavya's engagement to his sweetheart KT, crying rape.

And now that Parvati has disclosed to Tulsi that bechara Eklavya is not the haivan, the latter is on a guilt trip. But the damage is done. The negativity he's received plus the briefing given by sister Bhumi have made Ansh putra vicious. The two now gang up to fight emotional corruption in the Virani parivaar.

Eklavya's personality makeover has also called for an image makeover. The red tilak is replaced by a black one and his father's sea blue eyes are back. Eklavya is finally an Ansh replica (and we all love him in that avtar!)

How does Aakashdeep feel about getting back to the same act? "It is lovely that my character is stained with all sorts of allegations. Everybody has seen Eklavya's good side and now they will see his bad side as well. My character is going to be multi-dimensional. I will still be Eklavya but there'll be an ansh of Ansh in me. For long he has been pleading to everybody that he's not the one, but they pushed him in one corner. Now that the truth is out he will show them their place."

How true is it that Ekta always wanted you to play a negative lead? "Yes, that is what she told me. It seems they did a research on Kyunki....and people said that I should be brought back in a negative lead. Audiences just want me to be there and they want me to mess up somebody from the Virani parivaar basically. They like somebody like that, that's why I am here and back in action."

What remains to be seen are the damages the bro-sis duo will do to the family; will they break-up the Lakshya- KT marriage? Will Rakshanda join them? How will Eklavya and Bhumi avenge Ansh's death? Write to us about the possible outcome of this interesting saga.
