Popular television actress Shivangi Joshi is set to win hearts once again. This time, she returns in a brand new and distinct avatar through the TV show 'Bade Acche Lagte Hain Phir Se,' the next chapter in a highly successful franchise.
Bade Acche Lagte Hain Phir Se: The new season of the famous TV show 'Bade Acche Lagte Hain' has generated immense anticipation among viewers. Harshad Chopda and Shivangi Joshi will be seen in the lead roles. The recently released promo has received a positive response from the audience. This season's story revolves around the clash and eventual love between two distinct cultures.
Harshad Chopda plays Rishabh, a Punjabi youth, while Shivangi Joshi portrays Bhagyashree, a Tamilian girl. Their contrasting backgrounds and lifestyles promise interesting conflicts and emotional connections within the show.
Weight Gain as a Challenge
For this show, Shivangi has undergone a significant transformation in her look and character. To add authenticity to her role, she gained 8 kilograms. In an interaction with Saas Bahu Aur Betiyaan, she mentioned, "I had to eat a lot. Gaining weight isn't easy, especially when you need to look fit and agile on camera. But understanding the demands of Bhagyashree's character, I ate heartily and gained 8 kilos. Now, even the sight of food scares me!"
Effort on Language and Nuances
Portraying 'Bhagyashree' wasn't just about physical transformation. Shivangi also worked extensively on her Tamil accent and language, as her character hails from a traditional Tamil family and speaks Tamil at home. Regarding this challenge, Shivangi shared, "I practiced for hours to understand Tamil pronunciation, family customs, and linguistic nuances. Bhagyashree's emotions and roots are connected to her culture; therefore, it was crucial for me to portray the character authentically."
On-Set Anecdotes and a Friendly Atmosphere
Their on-screen chemistry with Harshad Chopda will be a major highlight. Both actors mentioned in interviews that the set atmosphere during shooting is very enjoyable. Harshad jokingly said that he constantly eats junk food trying to gain weight, and Shivangi laughingly added, "Initially, I enjoyed watching Harshad, but now I've lost my appetite. We're both undergoing this transformation, and it will be reflected in our characters."
Love Connected Through 'Kaddu,' the Dog
The show's storyline includes another interesting twist—Bhagyashree's pet dog, 'Kaddu.' Kaddu is not just a pet but plays the role of 'Kamadeva' (the god of love) in the story. This dog will play a crucial role in bringing Rishabh and Bhagyashree closer, adding a lighthearted and endearing element to the show. 'Bade Acche Lagte Hain Phir Se' is a departure from traditional love stories. It's not just a couple's story but an emotional journey of two cultures meeting, ideas clashing, and love gradually blossoming. Shivangi and Harshad have both brought their respective characters to life with honesty and hard work.
The show's promo has been released, and fans are highly excited about the storyline. The pair of 'Bhagyashree' and 'Rishabh' is already generating buzz on social media. Shivangi Joshi's physical transformation and dedication have further raised audience expectations.
