Aayudh Bhanushali, who portrays young Atal in &TV’s Atal, describes his experience as nothing short of amazing. “Playing young Atal Bihari Vajpayee in &TV’s Atal is a dream come true. Portraying such a legendary figure comes with great responsibility, but it’s also an incredible honor,” he shares.

This role has elevated my career, and I’m grateful to the entire team for believing in me,” he adds.

Amit Bhardwaj, who plays Mewa in Bheema, calls 2024 a life-changing year.

The journey was tough, with many moments of doubt, but every small role I played helped build my resilience as an actor,” he says. For Amit, playing Mewa has been both a challenge and a reward, helping him connect deeply with the audience and boosting his career.

This milestone represents my dedication and perseverance, and I am deeply grateful for the friendships and experiences that have shaped my journey,” she adds, hoping for many more years of creating magic on screen.

Rohitashv Gour, who portrays Manmohan Tiwari in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, describes 2024 as an extraordinary year in both his career and personal life. The highlight of the year was his daughter Giti’s debut in the entertainment industry, a milestone made even more special as they worked together in the same film. “Watching Giti grow up with a passion for acting has been emotional and inspiring. Sharing the screen with her is an experience I never imagined. She brings a fresh energy to every scene, and I must admit, I’ve learned a lot from her!” he shares. The journey has strengthened their bond as father and daughter and as co-actors. “I’m incredibly proud of her dedication to her craft, and I can’t wait for the audience to see her talent. This year has truly been a blessing in every way,” he adds.
