Zee TV is taking viewers back in time with an epic periodic love story, Lajwanti. After the huge success of Ek Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani, the channel is now coming up with this exciting show, which will have a periodic setup that revolves around India and Pakistan's partition.
Tellychakkar got in touch with the lead of the show, Sid Makkar, who was earlier part of Epic’s Dariba Diaries.
Talking about his role, Sid shared, “My character Sundarlal is from Lahore. He is fiery-tempered and the story is based in 1947 where he falls in love amid the chaos of partition."
What was your reaction when you got to know that Ankita Sharma was your partner? “I was cast before Ankita and I auditioned with a couple of girls. But I think Ankita is the best. There is some rawness in her face, which is very rare to find. I have to admit that she shocked us all with her amazing performance," she said.
Give us five reasons why viewers should watch this show... “Chemistry, rawness, progressive periodic drama, unique love story and a very well written story," he added with a smile.
What made you to choose this show? "Frankly speaking, I gave a very bad audition deliberately as I wasn’t interested in doing TV. Later Ila (producer) asked me to give a second audition, which was pretty good. It was Ila’s conviction that got me in the show," he said.
Lastly, any message for your fans? “Well, I would say that do watch our show to experience a different kind of love story," he signed off.
All the best, Sid!
