Sehban Azim aka yash article

While love stories usually work on television, recently launched Bepannaah created a stir with its exciting storyline and impressive star cast of Jennifer Winget, Harshad Chopda, Sehban Azim and Namita Dubey. Depicting a heart-wrenching tale of complex relationships, the show has garnered a positive response from all quarters. Indianexpress.com recently spoke with one of the stars of the serial, Sehban, who shared that he is confident that even though his character Yash might get less screen space, it will leave an impact.

"It is an integral part of the plot. The character has left a lot behind for Zoya (Jennifer) and Aditya (Harshad) to solve. These two people, Yash and Pooja (Namita) are the pillar of the entire storyline. It's an interesting and layered role and I am really happy about being a part of Bepannaah.

When we asked him if his rumoured affair with Jennifer will bring in more audience to the show, he quipped, "Not at all, and I don't think it should matter. Jenny and I have been friends for a long time and somehow people started assuming we are in a relationship, but it doesn't bother us. As for our audience, they like us together but that doesn't mean we have to be a real-life couple. It is a beautiful show and we are confident they (our fans) will love it.

The show will delve into the topic of infidelity. When asked how he justifies his character's action, Sehban quipped, "It's not always about love or seeking physical pleasures, it can be more than that. Sometimes, even when you are deeply in love with your partner, there can be something missing, which you find in someone else. It's a connection that cannot be defined or expressed.

The actor is also confident that the television audience is ready to accept mature concepts like these.

"The viewers have evolved a lot and are ready to understand and accept shows based on complexities of relationships. We have had bold and mature shows before, and it did quite well too. If we don't give our audience new content, how would we even know? But I have a strong feeling that Bepannaah will do well, for we haven't had many shows with so many layers of characters and emotions. The production team, Cinevistaas, are known for bringing unique shows, and this too will stand up to the expectations.
