         TV Actors reveal Janmashtami celebrations in their hometowns!

Janmashtami is joyfully celebrated to honour the birth of Lord Krishna. People across the globe observe this festival in their unique ways. &TV artists share how the festivities unfold in their hometowns. These include Amit Bhardwaj, who plays Mewa in the newly launched show Bheema, Ashutosh Kulkarni (Krishan Bihari Vajpayee, Atal), Geetanjali Mishra (Rajesh, Happu Ki Ultan Paltan), and Shubhangi Atre (Angoori Bhabi, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai). Amit Bhardwaj who plays Mewa in Bheema, says, “Patna celebrates Janmashtami with tremendous zeal. Temples are beautifully decorated, prayers echo through the air, and devotional songs set the tone for the day. Traditional dances like Raas Leela mesmerize those who take part, creating a vibrant and festive atmosphere throughout the city. The celebrations in my hometown of Patna are grand, featuring 56 varieties of Bhog and Krishna dressed in vibrant yellow attire. A cradle is decorated with flowers, and Bhajans are sung throughout the day in his honour.” Ashutosh Kulkarni who plays Krishan Bihari Vajpayee in Atal, shares, “Janmashtami in Maharashtra is celebrated with incredible enthusiasm and energy. Everywhere you turn, you'll see people forming human pyramids, eagerly trying to reach and break the Dahi Handi, a pot filled with curd, milk, fruits, and sweets. The entire festival is infused with a vivid, divine atmosphere. Growing up in Pune, I was lucky to be immersed in this tradition. Every street corner would be packed with people gathering for the Dahi Handi event, and as kids, we were determined not to miss a single moment. We would race around, catching every scene, excited to see who would finally succeed in breaking the pot. The temple decorations and devotional songs created a divine environment. But my favourite part was always dancing to the beats of drums and singing 'Govinda ala re ala,' followed by indulging in puran poli and other traditional treats lovingly prepared by my mother.” 

Geetanjali Mishra who portrays Rajesh in Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, adds, “Janmashtami celebrations in UP are no less than a dream. I have had the privilege of being part of these festivities in the past. Many people gather at the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple in Mathura to join in the celebrations. Artists perform Krishna's Rasleelas, some so mesmerizing that they deeply move the devotees of Lord Krishna. The celebrations are grand in my hometown Varanasi also. My grandmother would prepare special prasads like Malai Peda, Charnamrit, and Dhaniya Panjiri, offered as a tribute to Lord Krishna. We would then visit temples to distribute these homemade offerings and participate in the bhajans sung there. As a child, I once asked my mother for a Radha costume. I still feel the joy of wearing it. May Lord Krishna bless us all with love and harmony. Wishing you a joyous Janmashtami!” Shubhangi Atre, renowned for her role as Angoori Bhabi in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, says, “I fondly remember how temples are adorned with intricate decorations and special rituals are performed throughout the day during Janmashtami in Indore. People observe fast, offer prayers, and engage in soulful devotional singing and dancing. The city exudes a joyful atmosphere, enriched by various cultural performances and events. My father and I would visit the famous Laxminarayan Temple, also known as the Birla Temple or Krishna Parnami Temple, where the celebrations were grand, and we would seek blessings. At home, we would create tiny baby footprints on the floor to represent Baal Krishna’s steps. We would stay up until midnight for the aarti, prepare treats like Makhan mishri, lauki ki barfi, makhana kheer, and more, all lovingly prepared by my mother and grandmother, and then offered to Lord Krishna. This time, as my daughter Ashi is in Mumbai, I will follow the same rituals.”

Vikram Dwivedi on Playing Vishambhar Singh in &TV’s 'Bheema'

            Vikram Dwivedi on Playing Vishambhar Singh in &TV’s 'Bheema'

Vikram Dwivedi, who was last seen in the &TV show Ek Mahanayak Dr B.R. Ambedkar, is now all set to take on an intriguing role in &TV's show Bheema. Just a few months ago, Vikram’s portrayal of a grey character in Ek Mahanayak Dr. B.R. Ambedkar concluded, and he has now transitioned to Bheema. Interestingly, this time Vikram who hails from Jabalpur has landed a powerful role as Vishambhar Singh, where he will be seen fighting against the injustices around him.

Sharing his excitement about playing Vishambhar Singh, Vikram Dwivedi says, "I am excited to step into the shoes of Vishambhar Singh in Bheema. Vishambhar is a character who resonates deeply with me, as he embodies the principles of equality and justice that are often overlooked in society. As a well-educated man, Vishambhar stands firm in his belief that no one should be judged or treated differently based on their caste or class. His progressive mindset and unwavering commitment to treating everyone with respect, regardless of their background, make him a truly inspirational figure." He continues, "Transitioning to this role has been a remarkable journey for me, especially after my previous portrayal of a negative character in Ek Mahanayak Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. That role required me to tap into darker emotions and portray traits that were in stark contrast to my personal beliefs. While it was a challenging and rewarding experience, playing Vishambhar Singh has been a breath of fresh air. It’s a role that not only allows me to showcase a different aspect of my acting abilities but also aligns with the values I hold dear.”

Adding more, he says, “Vishambhar Singh is not just a character; he represents a voice of reason in a world where social divisions still exist. Through this role, I hope to bring attention to the importance of equality and inspire viewers to reflect on their own beliefs and actions. As an actor, it’s fulfilling to be able to portray diverse characters, and I am eager for the audience to see the depth and conviction that Vishambhar Singh brings to the narrative of Bheema. I hope that his story will resonate with viewers and encourage them to embrace the idea that every individual deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their caste or social standing.” Talking about his family response, “knowing that my family, who stays in Jabalpur, is watching and supporting me every step of the way. My family especially my mother and father has always been my rock, and their happiness means the world to me. Seeing them so proud of my work, especially in a role that has such a strong message, fills my heart with joy. My parents and siblings never miss an episode; they gather around the TV, excited to see Vishambhar Singh in action. Their encouragement keeps me going, and knowing they are watching makes every scene more meaningful. It’s a blessing to have their support, and I’m grateful that I can make them proud through my work onscreen.”

Watch Vikram Dwivedi as Vishambhar Singh in Bheema, airing every Monday to Friday at 8:30 pm on &TV.

Intense drama in &TV’s Bheema and Atal

The latest tracks of &TV shows Bheema and Atal will captivate the audience with its gripping and dramatic storyline. About &TV's Bheema, Dhaniya, portrayed by Smita Sable, says, “As Bheema begins attending school, Kailasha Bua harshly punishes her mother, Dhaniya, for allowing her daughter to dream. The school principal, who opposes Bheema, challenges her removal from the school. The situation worsens as teachers also discourage her from continuing her studies. Bheema is burdened with unnecessary tasks that disrupt her learning. She notices that her mother is hurt and realizes the sacrifices her family is making for her education. Amid the turmoil, Baba Saheb serves as a guiding light for Bheema, inspiring her to overcome these obstacles and pursue her educational goals.”

About &TV's Atal, Krishna Devi, played by Neha Joshi, says, “After the British officer warns everyone in the Mohalla to evacuate their homes within seven days, Atal continues to resist the British government to prevent anyone from being displaced. His resolve angers Krishna Bihari, who fears that Atal's actions could endanger everyone in the Mohalla and him. While Krishna Devi supports Atal, Krishna Bihari decides to partition in the house. Meanwhile, Atal comes across a man seeking his long-overdue compensation from the British government, but the man is unjustly denied his right. Atal ensures that the man shares his story with the people in the Mohalla. Later, sipahis beat the man and force him to declare that he has received his compensation. Despite these hardships, Atal persistently visits British officers again and again to challenge their decisions."
