| Love is in the air for the small screen's idealist lawyer Siddhanth (Pawan Shankar). He has fallen hook, line and sinker for the mystery woman called Anamika. He sees her at a party and can't take his eyes off her.
Pooja Ghai Rawal enters the Star One show Siddhanth to play the crusader lawyer's ladylove.
"Siddhanth is totally mesmerised by Anamika and woos her relentlessly. Initially Anamika cold-shoulders him but gradually, much later, she evinces an interest in him," reveals Rawal about her character.
It is learnt that Anamika, too, is a lawyer. This will be revealed to the audience at a later stage. In the beginning Siddhanth will wonder who she is — the fact that she is a legal eagle in her own right will make Siddhanth in awe of her as well.
The weekly legal drama has main protagonist lawyer Siddhanth (Pawan Shankar) seek justice for the have-nots. The legal implications apart, the case looks at the moral aspects of the law as well. Siddhanth initially begins with lucrative cases till he heeds his inner voice and decides to become a crusader.
"My character of Anamika is not a cameo appearance," points out Rawal. "It is a regular character who will be seen in Siddhanth. Anamika will turn out to be a strong and forthright lawyer in the show." Rhea to look for Jassi
Rawal also features in the Sony show Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin as Rhea, Armaan's (Apoorva Agnihotri) secretary who enters Gulmohar House in place of Jassi (Mona Singh).
The character is, of late, missing but she will be back in the show. "Rhea will play a vital role in uniting Jassi and Armaan. She will be on the lookout for Jassi," says Rawal who was earlier seen as Suhasi in the Star Plus daily Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Stage front
Rawal, who stepped on to the stage with Paritosh Painter's English play See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil, adds that the drama will soon have a Hindi version as well. "As the play was in English, there were limitations in it. It could not be staged everywhere in the country.
We could only perform it in metros. The Hindi version will enable the play to be staged in smaller towns. Everything else remains the same, the only difference will be that we say our lines in Hindi." |
