Anshul Bammi, who was last seen in Saath Nibhaana Saathiya 2, has joined the cast of Ishq Ki Dastaan – Naagmani, which will be progressing by five years in tonight’s episode. The show features Pavitra Punia, Aleya Ghosh and Karam Rajpal (Aditya Redij, who played the original male lead has exited) and Anshul will play the positive character of Raman.
He says, “Raman, who is the male lead’s cousin, is an ideal son, brother, and husband. He takes care of everyone around. He limps and the reason for it will be revealed later in the story.”
The actor admits that it will be a task to strike a chord with the audience of the show. He says, “The show is taking a leap of five years, which will pave the way for the second season. Even though Pavitra will continue to play the antagonist, I am taking it as a new show. Besides the fact that the new family will have to work harder to forge a bond with the audience, what’s even more challenging is the fact that my character is extremely positive. Raman is different from all the positive characters I have played so far.”
Anshul has played both positive and negative characters, but he enjoys exploring the negative shade more. He shares, “I have played negative characters in RadhaKrishn and Durga: Mata Ki Chhaya. Though I love to explore all shades, I must admit that negative is a lot more fun.
Usme thoda zyada maza aata hai kyunki ek actor
ko khelne ko bohot milta hai. You have the freedom to improvise and push the envelope while portraying the character.”
The actor has been part of shows like Maddam Sir – Kuch Baat Hai Kyunki Jazbaat Hai, Dharm Yoddha Garud, Vighnaharta Ganesha, Sankatmochan Mahabali Hanuman and Ram Siya Ke Luv Kush.
