Every actor dives deep into their character, finding ways to connect with the role while overcoming its unique challenges. Reyaansh Vir Chadha, who takes on the intriguing lead role of a Tantrik, recently opened up about the fascinating balance between what makes him similar to his character and what sets them worlds apart.

Reeyansh shares with a warm smile, “This isn’t just another show, it’s something truly unique, unlike any typical social drama. My character is a complete 360-degree personality. He doesn’t just follow a straight path; he’s full of layers, making him incredibly relatable with everyone. He reacts based on the situation, which feels so real. What I love most is his mix of vulnerability and kindness, qualities I genuinely connect with. He’s practical, sorted, and always knows what he’s doing, just like me! Life has taught me to stay grounded and clear-headed. I’m not one to get stuck in confusion; I prefer a practical, straightforward approach, and that’s something my character and I share.”

He further added,”I don’t find it challenging to switch between characters, it comes naturally to me. Personally, I’m not a believer in cults, Tantra, or anything like that; it just doesn’t resonate with me. So, when I play such a character, I make sure to convince myself of it. The character I play is extremely talkative, which is the total opposite of me in real life. I’m calm, peaceful, and far from hyperactive, I like to stay in control of my energy and vibe. That’s the biggest difference between me and the character:”

In the world of television, on-screen rivalries often capture the audience’s attention, but behind the scenes, they can lead to some of the most heartwarming friendships. This is exactly what’s happening on the sets of Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya on Sun Neo, where Maitri Bhanushali, who plays Tina, and Brinda Dahal, who portrays Vaishnavi, have forged a deep connection that goes beyond the camera.

Speaking about their incredible bond, Maitri shares, “Brinda and I are like soul sisters, and we have so much in common. Whenever I go to Brinda’s room, the music automatically starts playing, and as soon as it does, I look at her, she looks at me, and we just start vibing together. Whenever we get even a little free time, we make reels. We’ve made so many dance reels together! Even in Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya, when our characters compete for Kartik in a positive-negative way, dance somehow gets added to the mix.”

She further added, “We often end up doing dance sequences together, and even the Sun Neo channel knows how much we enjoy dancing—they sometimes tell us to perform just because of it! There are times when we choreograph our own dance sequences, and we complete the choreography in just 5 minutes. The choreographers who come on set say that it usually takes an entire day to finish a dance sequence, but the two of us wrap up the entire shoot in just 3 hours. We’re like two little firecrackers when it comes to dancing!”

Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya follows the journey of Vaishnavi, an orphan who finds solace and strength in her unwavering faith in Chhathi Maiyya (portrayed by Sneha Wagh), who serves as a mother figure in her life. The show features a talented cast, including Sara Khan, Jaya Bhattacharya, Brinda Dahal, and Ashish Dixit.

Siddhi Sharma, the talented actress from Sun Neo’s popular show Ishq Jabariya, who portrays the character of Gulki, recently opened up about her delightful bond with the show’s youngest member, Amayira, who plays Binni. The talented child actor has brought a wave of positivity to the set.

Speaking warmly about their relationship, Siddhi shared:

“Amayira is such an adorable child. I share a very special bond with her since we have so many scenes together. Off-screen, we have so much fun that I feel like I turn into a child myself when I’m around her. I often bring her chocolates or chips, and the way her face lights up with happiness makes my day. I’m naturally energetic and playful, so we end up laughing and enjoying ourselves a lot. She has this sweet innocence that’s truly heartwarming.”

She further added:

“I believe children bring a unique kind of positivity with them. The atmosphere on set was already great, but ever since Amayira joined, it feels even more lively and joyful. She’s incredibly smart for her age—despite being so young, she memorizes her dialogues really quickly, which amazes everyone. Her presence adds a fresh and vibrant energy, making the workday so much more fun and fulfilling.”

Ishq Jabariya, airing on Sun Neo at 7:30 PM, is a compelling love story that revolves around Gulki, an ambitious young woman with dreams as big as her determination.

Hosted by Mohit Jain of Dhoomimal Art Centre

The art world came alive at the Shridharini Gallery with the preview of Pankaj Kumar’s latest exhibition, hosted by Mohit Jain, the visionary owner of Dhoomimal Art Centre. This compelling showcase invites viewers to immerse themselves in the eternal rhythms of nature through the evocative works of celebrated artist Pankaj.

Pankaj’s creations delve deeply into themes of creation, transformation, and renewal, portraying nature’s cycles through bold grids, rhythmic geometric patterns, and textured layers of materials such as charcoal dust, rice paper, and cloth fragments. His works reflect the ancient Vedic concept of Brahmand—the primal state of the universe—capturing the ceaseless ebb and flow of the natural world.

“Nature is always in motion,” shares Pankaj. “Even though it repeats itself, no two moments are ever truly the same. Painting allows me to connect with that energy and express it—it’s how I understand the world’s constant evolution.”

Born in rural India, Pankaj’s early experiences with nature deeply influenced his artistic journey. A graduate of Banaras Hindu University, his exhibitions across India have earned him widespread acclaim. His art speaks to those who find beauty in the subtle yet transformative cycles of life.

Mohit Jain reflected on his association with the artist:
“My first encounter with Pankaj’s work was in 2007, but I rejected it outright as it seemed derivative. However, when he returned in 2009 with a fresh body of work, I was struck by its originality and power. His first solo exhibition in 2014 was a resounding success. Pankaj’s evolution as an artist has been remarkable, and it’s an honor to curate his second solo exhibition today.”

Prominent guests at the event included Manju Mansheet Rai, Suvir Saran, Shamain Singh, Ashok Vajpayee, and Niladri Paul. The gathering witnessed engaging conversations around Pankaj’s distinctive style, which fuses abstraction with profound philosophical insights.

Each canvas invites viewers into a meditative exploration of energy, form, and motion, transcending decorative appeal to offer a deeper reflection on life’s constant evolution. As guests marveled at Pankaj’s vibrant color palette and intricate details, the evening became a celebration of artistic renewal and the beauty of transformation.
