MUMBAI: Ekta Kapoor's recently released show Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 2 has proved to be an instant hit among the viewers.

Ajay is well-known for his stellar performance in C.I.D where he played sub-inspector Pankaj. 

TellyChakkar got in touch with Ajay who had some interesting beans to spill regarding the show and much more. 

Fans know you as Pankaj from C.I.D who was a dedicated police officer but they also saw your comic side. How challenging this role has been to you? 

In CID Pankaj was a rookie cop who is learning something new every day on the job and is trying to navigate serious crimes with a bit of comic relief. Aditya’s character is very responsible, straight-talking and has his own quirks but is fully involved in all aspects of Ram’s life. It is a bit challenging because this is my first family drama show but I am really enjoying the making.

What was your first reaction after bagging the show as Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 2 is a brand?

My head hit the roof! It had been so long since I had acted that I was just excited in general but then the fact that I got such an important role in such a big show made me all the happier and I can’t thank Ms Ekta Kapoor enough for entrusting me and giving me the opportunity to play Aditya in such a huge show. I am very grateful.

What new can the viewers expect from you?

I have always played out and out comedy roles mostly in my career but in this show, I am getting scenes where I am able to show an emotional side too. Whenever Ram is troubled or gets emotional, my character feels for him because he cares for Ram immensely and reacts in a caring brotherly way where he would give anything to make his worries go away.

Ajay has been quite popular as he has appeared in many TV shows and movies as a child artist too. 

Some of his notable performances are from Pardes, Yeh Hai Jalwa, Shriman Shrimati, Ghar Jamai among others. 

Manraj Singh Sarma, Shubhaavi Choksey, Anjum Fakih, Poorti Arya, Alefia Kapadia among others are also seen in pivotal roles. 

Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 2 has hit the small screens from 30th August on Sony TV.
