(MENAFN- IANS) Mumbai, Dec 21 (IANS) actor Abhishek Malik, who plays the role of Neel Paranjape in“Jamai No. 1”, says the show brings a fresh perspective with its focus on the saas-damaad drama.
“It's a male-centric show, which is rare on TV. Most shows revolve around women, but Jamai No. 1 brings a fresh perspective with its focus on the saas-damaad drama,” Abhishek said.
He added:“Neel, my character, is genuine, spiritual, and values his roots, but he's also a jugadu who knows how to set things right. This unique dynamic with his mother-in-law sets the show apart.”
Talking about why the show is very different from his other work, says the actor.“Male-centric shows are every actor's dream since TV is mostly dominated by saas-bahu dramas. Being the face of the show and taking a stand as the lead was exciting for me.
He revealed he had waited for the show to start as it was pushed a bit and a lot of mock shoots were done.
“The unique concept really drew me in.”
The actor said:“Most TV shows are driven by women, but Jamai No. 1 offers a fresh take with a saas-damaad dynamic. Neel is a relatable character who knows his values but is also clever and resourceful. The way he interacts with his mother-in-law and sets her right makes this show stand out from the usual dramas.”
Ask him what will the audience connect with the most on the show, and he said:“I think the audience will connect with Neel's rootedness and values. His father is a pandit, and he stays true to his culture and beliefs while tackling tricky situations.”
“Neel is not a typical hero, but the circumstances will make him a hero as he will stand for what's right. People will love his journey.”
He relates to his character Neel a lot.
“Like him, I am also a Shiv bhakt and believe in standing up for what's right. I respect my family deeply, just like Neel does. It feels like I'm playing a version of myself on screen.”
