MUMBAI: After a seven-year hiatus from television, Kunal Verma is back in the spotlight with his role as Vihan in the popular Star Plus show Jhanak. Known for his previous work in Dil Se Dil Tak (2018), Verma has since explored cameos and web shows, including his stint in Dear Ishq on Hotstar. His return to TV has garnered much excitement, and he shares the emotional journey of stepping back into the world of family dramas.
Verma plays Vihan, a gentle and kind-hearted doctor who has returned to India from abroad after the death of his wife. The character is unique, offering a fresh perspective on family dynamics, love, and personal growth. “What drew me to the character was the emotional depth and the way Vihan navigates his complex relationships, especially with Jhanak. It’s a journey of self-discovery and human connection,” says Verma.
The show’s concept, focusing on human emotions and family bonds, resonated with Verma, who values the importance of strong storytelling. “Jhanak is a family drama at its core, but it stands out with its unique concept and strong performances. It’s already a top-rated show, and being part of this makes me proud,” he shares.
After a long break, the actor admits feeling the pressure of returning to a hit show. “Of course, there’s pressure. But I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity and blessed to work with such a fantastic team. The director, Yogesh Ji, has created such a positive and calm work environment, which makes a huge difference,” he reflects.
Verma also shares insights into his personal life, explaining how the birth of his son, Krishav, has shifted his priorities. “Work is important, but being a good human and spending time with my family is equally vital. I’m grateful for the time I’ve spent at home, but I’ve also learned to stay patient and trust the process,” he says, emphasizing the importance of balance in both his professional and personal life.
As Jhanak continues to captivate audiences, Kunal Verma is ready to give his all to the role and is excited about the journey ahead.
