A show automatically becomes your favourite when you have the most lovable actors on-screen. Doesn’t it? Well, this time around ALTBalaji has introduced some of the all-time favourites in their upcoming fantasy drama, Paurashpur. The makers of the web series have roped in Shaheer Sheikh and Shilpa Shinde to play pivotal roles in the web series (*haaye*).
Come, let’s dig a little deeper about Shaheer’s and Shilpa’s characters in the web series:
Shaheer Sheikh as Veer
Name one TV actor that we all love and adore. Uff, ab inke baremein hum kahase shuru kare? Kya andaaz hai, kya personality hai, aur kya kamal acting hai. That’s Shaheer Sheikh for you, ladies and gentlemen. Keeping aside his previous roles, he is set to mark his digital debut on ALTBalaji’s humongous period drama, Paurashpur web series.
Actor, Shaheer Sheikh is seen in the role of a vyapari- Veer Singh. He is smart. He is dynamic. And he most definitely cannot tolerate injustice. But Veer also carries a lot of baggage from the past that happens to follow his present. What is his dark past? What is he hiding? Where did he come from? Ab ye sab toh Veer hi bata paega.
Speaking of his character, Veer, Shaheer said in an interview, “What we are trying to tell the audience through Veer is that there were a few men who used their power and aggression to bring equality in the society, to make sure that everyone is treated equally, and women get the rights they were fighting for even in that era. That’s what I think was quite inspiring about Veer and that’s why I wanted to play this character.”
Shilpa Shinde as Queen Meerawati
Ye waqt hai aurton ka. Ye samay hai unke upar hone wala zulm par awaaz uthane ka. Yehi sikhane aa rahi hai Paurashpur ki sabse samajdaar aur khoobsurat sadasya. Give it up for Queen Meerawati, ladies and gentlemen. Queen Meerawati played by Bigg Boss fame, Shilpa Shinde is the oh-so-stunning lady who looks like an absolute delight in the show, Paurashpur.
Shilpa Shinde’s poise and elegance in Paurashpur web series have become the talk of the town. In fact, her fans are so impressed by her looks that they have started comparing her to the evergreen beauty of the B-town industry, Rekha Ji. Talking to Mid-day about the comparison with Rekha Ji’s character in Utsav, Shilpa Shinde was quoted saying, “I feel we shouldn’t make a comparison between my character in ‘Paurashpur’ and Rekha Ji’s character in ‘Utsav’. A lot of things are similar between our project and ‘Utsav’ in terms of costumes, jewellery and body language of the characters, but I don’t think I can match up to the level of Rekha Ji’s character in ‘Utsav’. We have just tried to create something new.”
