Zee TV is gearing up to release the highly anticipated second season of its hit show, Brahmarakshas. The Balaji Telefilms-produced series follows the story of a regular girl named Kalindi, whose path becomes intertwined with dark forces. When fate throws her into a battle against the malevolent Brahmarakshas, Kalindi must dig deep to find the inner strength to fight back. Brahmarakshas gains power by kidnapping brides and casting dark spells over the town. At the same time, Kalindi’s love for her partner Angad (portrayed by Pearl V Puri) is her only source of resilience.
Young and beautiful actress Nikki Sharma will be seen essaying the strong-willed character of Kalindi in the show. She says, “I am extremely excited to be a part of the show. I have been in the industry for some time now. However, this is my first show as a lead. Now, I am ready to take on the responsibility on the shoulder of leading the show. I do believe it is a big responsibility too. When I got the offer, I had other plans, but it was Balaji and Zee TV, so I immediately agreed to do it.”
Do you have any pressure as you are doing a sequel to a hit show? “I do believe season 1 was super hit; I myself watched the show, and having said that, there is pressure but not much. I would want audiences to love season 2 like season 1. I hope audiences love our story and support and love us the same way. I really connect with the character, so I believe I will be able to pull it off.”
Nikki feels Pearl V Puri is a supportive co-star. “Pearl is a nice human being. He is a supportive co-star. When we were shooting for the promo, I was nervous, but he made me comfortable. His vibes are positive, and I feel comfortable shooting with him,” shares the actress.
When asked if she believes in supernatural powers, she mentions, “I have never experienced such a thing, so can’t say much about it. I don’t watch horror stuff as I get scared. I haven’t been pranked as of now. However, I know it will happen soon, and I am looking forward to it.”
On an end note, Nikki says, “I know fans will draw a comparison with season 1 and be upset. However, I also know that there are people who will give us a chance to showcase our story. I am sure they would love the show. Instead of trolls, I have been receiving a lot of love and appreciation.”
Good luck, Nikki!
