Mumbai, Jun 1: Actor Shivam Khajuria has described his experience of sharing the stage with acclaimed television stars Shabir Ahluwalia and Sriti Jha as a privilege, ahead of the special television event "Fashion Ke Rang, Rishton Ke Sang".
Shivam, who plays Prem in the popular television show Anupama, will be joined by co-star Adrija Roy, known on screen as Raahi, during the star-studded celebration that showcases India's rich cultural diversity through fashion and traditions.
For the special event, the on-screen duo will represent their Gujarati roots by appearing in traditional attire, bringing the colours and cultural heritage of Gujarat to the stage.
Reflecting on the experience, Shivam said one of the most memorable aspects of the show was witnessing actors from different television programmes come together to celebrate the customs and traditions of various regions across the country through their costumes and performances.
He noted that while his character's family in Anupama represents Gujarat, other actors participating in the event highlighted the unique cultural identities of different Indian states, creating a vibrant and diverse showcase.
The actor also expressed his enthusiasm for network events, saying they provide a rare opportunity for artists from different shows to interact outside their characters and reconnect with friends and colleagues from across the television industry.
According to Shivam, such gatherings allow performers to step away from their daily shooting schedules, spend time together as themselves and create lasting memories beyond their on-screen roles.
Speaking about sharing the spotlight with some of television's most respected performers, he said it was a special honour to perform alongside actors such as Shabir Ahluwalia and Sriti Jha, adding that he feels grateful to be part of Anupama and its successful journey.
The actor also thanked viewers for their continued support over the years, acknowledging that their encouragement has played a crucial role in his growth and achievements. He encouraged audiences to appreciate the present, enjoy life's moments and cherish meaningful experiences.
"Fashion Ke Rang, Rishton Ke Sang" promises to bring together some of television's biggest names in a celebration of relationships, culture and fashion. The special programme is scheduled to air on Star Plus on Monday at 7 p.m.
