Actor Sandeep Sachdev who plays the role of Kamalnath Kashyap in Zee TV’s Pyaar Ka Pehla Adhyaya Shiv Shakti, produced by Prateek Sharma’s LSD Films, is happy with the way his role is shaping up in the show.
Talking about his character, Sandeep says, “My character’s love is focused on his wife, his family, his mother, and his brother. As the story progresses and my character discovers certain things that he is unaware of at the moment, his character will develop further on screen. Right now, I am portraying a lovable husband, father, son, and brother, and I am thoroughly enjoying it. In reality, I also believe that I possess those characteristics. I am a person who loves people, so it’s not very difficult for me.”
Sandeep is happy that his show is a spin-off to his good friend Shabir Ahluwalia’s show Pyar Ka Pehla Naam Radha Mohan. “I already knew about Pyaar Ka Pehla Naam Radha Mohan, but I had never seen any episodes. I was aware of it because Shabir Ahluwalia is a friend, and we have known each other for a long time. I was so happy when I learned that I am in ‘Pyaar ka Pehla Adhyaya: Shiv Shakti,’ I thought it would be a royal portrayal, the first chapter of love, and I really love the title ‘Shiv Shakti.’ It’s a very empowering title.”
Talking about the unfortunate short tenure in his earlier show Lag Jaa Gale, which was for two weeks, Sandeep explains, “It’s unfortunate that it happened because I had shot for nearly two weeks, and I absolutely loved the character of Rishi Taneja. It made me realize how good and beautiful television can be. I had a great rapport with everyone on the set, from the crew to the cast. When I received a call from Studio LSD, I knew that ‘Radha Mohan’ was a successful show of theirs. I was told that this show would be a prequel, merging it into ‘Radhe Mohan.'”
Praising the production value of the show, Sandeep avers, “As an audience, I had a feeling of awe at the amazing production value already showcased in this show. In the first episode, they introduced Shakti’s family and portrayed the characterization of Banaras so well. The buildup of Shiv’s character and the interactions with my on-screen mother and Mandira were impressive. The overall production value is incredible.
Best of luck, Sandeep!!
