Mumbai, Nov 25 (IANS): Actor Avinesh Rekhi, who is seen as the lead in the new show “Ikk Kudi Punjab Di”, learned how to ride a tractor in just one day for a sequence.

Even during the launch of the show in Mumbai, he decided to drive the vehicle himself, and surprise everyone by making a grand entry along with Tanisha Mehta on a tractor.

Talking about the same, Avinesh said: “I believe as actors we get to learn a lot from the characters we play on-screen. And I am currently enjoying exploring the character of Ranjha as we have a lot of similarities.”

“Just like on the show, Ranjha owns a farm and works in the field, and in real life, I have also worked on a farm when I was young. I have sown rice, harvested cabbages and sugarcanes, and even milked buffaloes, which is not an easy task.”

The ‘Choti Sarrdaarni’ fame actor added: “So, for me, a few things were easy and very relatable. But when it came to driving a tractor for a scene that was something I didn't know. I had a lot of fun learning how to ride it and I got the hang of it in just one day. Now I think I can take anyone for a drive on a tractor.”

"Ikk Kudi Punjab Di" is a high-octane drama that has begun to captivate audiences with its powerful storyline and well-written characters.

Based in Punjab, the show is a gripping narrative of strength and resilience, and follows the journey of Heer Grewal (Tanisha), a beautiful, vibrant young woman born into a Jatt landlord family. Her biggest priority is the well-being of her family.
