Mumbai, Sep 29 (IANS): TV actor Himanshu Soni, whose credits include ‘Neeli Chatri Wale’ and ‘Agar Tum Na Hote’, will now be starring in soap-opera drama ‘Kyunki… Saas Maa Bahu Beti Hoti Hai’.
In the series, Himanshu will portray Kabeer, a charming and creative individual. Talking about his role, the actor said it was different from other characters he has played before due to Kabeer having a lot of swag and attitude.
He said: “My character Kabeer is a little different from what I have played before, he is someone with a lot of swag and charm. He is not someone who will get stuck in situations because he is quick to find an innovative solution to any problem.”
Kabeer is one of the most pivotal characters in the show as he carries his friend Kesar morally, as well as offers help many a time. A charming individual who possesses a talent for storytelling, he is also an impulsive man with a tendency to show-off.
He supports himself by taking on various small jobs but is quite intelligent. A clever worker, who excels at finding innovative solutions to the most difficult problems, he is also an opportunist and never lets go of one if he finds it.
The story takes viewers to Gujarat, where amidst a vibrant Navratri celebration, a storm begins to brew within the Rajgaur family of Surat when the youngest bahu - Hetal seeks her share in the family property and moves out with her husband.
This unexpected turn of events leaves Ambika, the eldest bahu devastated, as it has been her top-most priority to keep the family together.
With an intense desire to disprove her sister-in-law’s belief that ‘Saas kabhi maa, aur Bahu kabhi beti nahi ban sakti’, Ambika, takes a drastic step and adopts a baby left at the doorstep of their family orphanage, and plans to raise her - not as a beti but as a future bahu who’ll keep the family together.
On bagging this role, Himanshu said: “I am glad to be doing an exciting show like ‘Kyunki… Saas Maa Bahu Beti Hoti Hai’. When I was offered this show, I got very excited about the concept and storyline and decided to immediately say yes to it."
The show also features veteran actress Manasi Joshi Roy and newcomer Navika Kotia. Talking about how he feels about working with them, the actor said: “Working with Manasi Ma'am and Navika is going to be a lot of fun because they both are very talented actors. I'm excited to see how the audience will respond to Kabeer; I hope they shower him with the same love and support as they've in the past to my characters."
‘Kyunki... Saas Maa, Bahu Beti Hoti Hai’ airs every day on Zee TV.
