However, a night of revelry leads to chaos, and the trio wakes up with no memory, the bag missing, and the rapper mysteriously absent. What follows next is a chaos full of twists and hilarious mishaps.

Raftaar shares, “Making my acting debut with ‘Bajao’ has been a fulfilling milestone in my journey as an artist. It’s a project that resonates with my own journey in the music industry – full of twists, turns, and unexpected surprises. It’s incredible how this series has allowed me to explore a whole new dimension of creativity and storytelling. ‘Bajao’ is not just a show; it’s an out of control adventure that captures the essence of the Punjabi music scene in the most entertaining way possible. The camaraderie and fun on set was infectious, and I hope that translates onto the screen as genuine laughter and entertainment for the viewers.”

Tanuj Virwani shares, “In Bajao, I portray the character of Ved, a guy who balances fun-loving nature with a serious side within the trio of his friends. He harbors aspirations to achieve greatness in life. Working on this show has been a truly special experience for me, as I have thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with the entire team. The camaraderie and dedication we share have made the journey unforgettable, and I can’t wait for the audience to witness the magic we’ve created on screen. Ved’s character has been a joy to bring to life, and I hope viewers will connect with his dreams and determination as they follow our thrilling and entertaining story.”

Mahira Sharma shares, “Joining the cast of ‘Bajao’ has been an electrifying experience that has added a vibrant new chapter to my artistic journey. The series captures the energy and enthusiasm of young people with strong passion and I’m thrilled to be a part of this rollercoaster ride. When I was offered the role for this web show, I instantly fell in love with it. The makers believed that my experience in Punjabi projects made me a suitable choice and I have tried to do utmost justice to my character. We have put our heart and soul into making this entertaining show and I hope that viewers will shower their love and support!”

Sahil Khattar shares, “Bajao is centred on three friends who help a rapper from the northern music industry. The show promises an exciting blend of fun and thrills. In the series, I portray the role of Dhari Puniya, a spirited yet quick-tempered individual who seamlessly blends intellect with brawn. His multifaceted persona lends a captivating layer into the narrative, ensuring an immersive and enthralling journey for our audience. Throughout my involvement in this project, I have found myself wonderfully aligned with Dhari’s character. His wit, sartorial choices, and the very essence of his humor mirror aspects of my own personality which resulted in an organic and deeply enjoyable creative process.”

Sahil Vaid shares, “Stepping into the shoes of Cookie has been an absolute riot! Cookie’s unabashed enthusiasm and boundless energy bring a unique flavor to ‘Bajao.’ He’s that quintessential happy-go-lucky guy who believes in living life to the fullest, no matter how crazy the circumstances become. Cookie’s journey, from film school dreams to unexpected gigs in the entertainment world, is an exciting ride filled with laughter and unexpected moments. Cookie’s character resonates with anyone who’s ever dared to dream, and I’m excited for the audience to experience his zest for life in every episode. ‘Bajao’ is an uproarious joyride, and Cookie is at the heart of the laughter and wackiness that will keep you hooked.”
