Aarya Dharmchand Kumar, currently seen as Vyom Sapotdaar in the television show Tees Ke Paar Jab Mila Pyaar, has stepped away from his usual positive characters to portray a completely different avatar. Opening up about his layered new role, Aarya shares insights into his character and the show's intense power dynamics.
Character and Family Dynamics
Describing his role, Aarya explains, 'My character's name is Vyom Sapotdaar. Actress Ananya Khare plays my mother. I am the only son, somewhat lost in mischievous activities and harboring hidden dark pasts. Only my mother, whom I refer to as Akkasahib, knows my dark secrets. She loves me deeply and wants to see me become the King of the Sapotdaars Sugar empire.'
The show revolves around an intense battle for power within a family. Aarya elaborates, 'My chacha is currently the head of the family. He has two sons, and naturally, he wants them to take over. So my mother and I become part of this power game to fulfill our own motives. In a way, I am playing the villain.'
Embracing the Negative Role
On taking up a negative role, the actor has a clear perspective. 'Negative characters often drive the story forward. They usually get the most impactful and dramatic moments. As an actor, you can experiment with your voice, body language, styling, and unique mannerisms. There is also less pressure to constantly appear as the perfect good guy. But earlier, I have carried stories as a hero too. I believe an actor should be ready to play any role, because every character comes with its own importance and challenge.'
Aarya also shared why he was selective after his last show Jhanak. 'After Jhanak, I was avoiding a lot of work just to get the right one, and I liked this role. I believe this is one of the best I have done so far — multi-layered, complex, strong, and dominating.'
