They say an actor lives many lives through the characters they play, and for Sheel Verma, this couldn’t be more true. Fans who were heartbroken by the untimely death of Jaiveer in the TV show Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain are in for a surprise. Because Sheel Verma is back—but not as the calm and noble Jaiveer. This time, he’s stepping into the show with a completely new identity and energy as rough and shrouded Bablu.
Sheel shared with a smile, “I honestly feel blessed to get the chance to play two totally different characters in the same show. Jaiveer was royal, calm, and always serious. But Bablu? He’s the exact opposite! He’s funny, super energetic, and a big devotee of Lord Hanuman. Even though Bablu is a thief by profession, he’s very clever and street-smart. He also believes that women are weaker than men, which adds an interesting side to his character. For Bablu, I completely changed my look—I cut my hair and wore clothes that were very different from what Jaiveer wore. Even small things like the Bali and bracelet really help bring Bablu’s personality to life.”
