TellyChakkar recently got in touch with the actor to talk about his upcoming new show expectations and more. 

When asked about his new show Vanshaj and what the story is about he said, “The thing is when a person looks strong or dominant, people think that something might be wrong with that person. We are talking about Vanshaj here. It’s a story about inheritance versus capability. So, when we talk about DJ or Digvijay, he is from the Mahajan family, which is a very influential, rich and powerful. DJ, the successor of the family, dreams to sit at the CEO's position one day. So, he has groomed himself for that. To handle an empire like that, you can not do it with someone simple. Digvijay Mahajan is that bright person who can handle it. This is a story where he finds out that there is this other girl has the capacity to snatch that dream away from him. You can call him a grey character, but in his eyes, he is the one being wronged”. 

When asked about the X-factor in his character, he said “When there is an instinct to control the environment, people usually get nervous about it or they fail to understand how to control that situation. Digvijay is that one person who knows that they can handle everything, so there is a suaveness to him. He has a controlled nature with which he says things. It does not stem from anger, but confidence. He gets what he wants. So, the best thing about DJ is that he does not need to get violent or throw tantrums. He just comes in, does what he needs to do and goes away. Some might think of him as a good person, some might not. You hate him, but you still love him.”

Mahir Pandhi returns to TV with Vanshaj after Choti Sarrdaarni and fans are excited to watch him in a new role.
