MUMBAI : Sony SAB's show Ziddi Dil Maane Na is working wonders on the small screens since the beginning.
It is a youth-based drama television series that airs on Sony SAB and stars Shaalien Malhotra, Kaveri Priyam, Kunal Karan Kapoor, Diljot Kaur Chhabra, Aditya Deshmukh, and Simple Kaul in pivotal roles.
The show's story revolves around a young team of SAF (Special Action Force) who finds love while fulfilling their aspirations at the camp.
Apart from the leads, Ziddi Dil Maane Na has an amazing bunch of actors like Gulfam Khan, Raju Shrestha, and Satyaketi Mishra among others.
Prathamesh Sharma is also seen playing a pivotal role in the show.
He is portraying Bala's character, who was initially shown as a pickpocketer but joined the academy due to Karan.
TellyChakkar got in touch with Prathamesh, who spoke at length about his character, his journey in the show, and much more.
What kind of progress have you seen in Bala's character?
My character has seen progress in recent times. Bala was earlier shown as a thief. But when he saw that the cadets in the academy have given him so much love and he is getting to learn so much, he decided to give up pickpocketing. He was just like a kid when he came to the academy. But gradually, Bala is getting sensible. He is getting to learn about relationships after coming to the academy. I can say that Bala's grooming is happening. There are possibilities that he might become an army cadet in the future track.
How relatable do you find Bala's character in real life?
There are many qualities that I can relate to. It always happens that every actor is able to relate to their on-screen characters as they have gone through such things once in a life. That's why they are able to perform so well on-screen. You will never see Bala sad. He is very optimistic. I am also the same in real life. I am a fun-loving person and I believe in living in a moment. The character is very relatable. I enjoy playing Bala.
How did you bag this role?
It was a lockdown and I was in my hometown. I was thinking about exploring other things apart from acting as it is an uncertain profession. So, I was not that focused on this profession. But then, this audition came to me from a person and he asked me to send it to the makers. I sent it. Luckily, I bagged the show. It wasn't that difficult for me. I was unable to accept it. I had no expectations but I got it. It took some time as the casting was going on for a few months. Everything materialised within a few months. I was finally locked for the show, and we started shooting in the month of August last year.
Prathamesh said that he has been working since 2017, but Ziddi Dil Maane Na gave him recognition and fame. He believes it is the turning point of his career.
Well said, Prathamesh!
