Article:Pawan falls in love with bani

A fter testing different sto- rylines, Kasamh Se (Zee) will be a love story again. New entrant Pawan Shankar will play the role of Tarun Sablok who falls in love with the lead pro- tagonist Bani (Prachi Desai). Unaware of this twist in the track when he accepted the role, he says, "In our society, it's con- sidered wrong to fall in love with another man's wife. But Tarun's love for Bani is absolutely pure. There is no lust involved. He's for- ever giving, not taking. He's also aware that she will refuse if he proposes marriage. Lets see how the viewers accept that." Known for his role as a right- eous lawyer in Siddhant, is he taking a risk enacting this char- acter in Kasamh Se? He replies, "If I can't look convincing enough, then yes, it will make my charac- ter look negative. But I have to take a risk." Morally, Shankar doesn't agree with falling in love with a married woman. "Our deeds affect our family and society at large. Falling in love is not wrong. One can even fall in love with a prostitute or even one's own cousin. "But one must control such sit- uations from going out of control. That is what dignity and resilience are all about." He is considered Balaji Tele- film's latest blue-eyed actor. "For every crucial scene, one gets a narration from the creative head and spontaneous feedback, which is very rare today." He is also acting in a 13-episode series for Pakistan television.
