Mumbai, Jun 4 (IANS): Actor Tanmay Nagar talked about his character in the drama 'Gunaah', and said that his role shows how important journalists are in society.

Tanmay said: "As an actor, I enjoyed essaying the role of Mert. It was promising and challenging.

This intense motivation led him to become a journalist, leveraging his investigative skills to uncover the truth behind the unsolved clues to his brother’s death.”

"My character shows how important journalists are in society. It was an opportunity for me to write an essay highlighting their importance."

Tanmay, also known for playing Abhay Joshi in 'Ek Mahanayak: Dr. B. R. Ambedkar', added how his role is motivational for viewers.

He shared, "There is a lot of motivation the audience can draw from my role. Despite the emotional toll and the constant grief that shadows his journey, Mert remains resolute.”

“He balances his relentless pursuit of justice with the responsibility of being the sole remaining son, caring for his grieving parents with unwavering dedication. Mert’s life is a testament to his resilience, love for his family, and unyielding commitment to revealing the truth."
