Kanwar Dhillon Firmly Denies Off-Air Speculation for Hit Show Udne Ki Aasha
Popular television actor Kanwar Dhillon, widely acclaimed for his compelling portrayal of Sachin Deshmukh in the Star Plus show Udne Ki Aasha, has expressed strong dismay over persistent rumors suggesting the series might be discontinued. Despite the show's robust performance on the TRP charts, media reports have circulated claiming it could go off-air following the IPL season. However, Dhillon has now categorically dismissed these claims, attributing them to individuals who cannot accept the success of others.
Dhillon's Direct Response to the Rumors
In an exclusive interview with Variety India, Kanwar Dhillon brushed aside the off-air speculation, confirming that the news is entirely unfounded. "This news comes out every now and then. It started from the time the show went on air," Dhillon remarked with a laugh. He elaborated, "You know, there are many people who are not happy to see you on top, your success. We retained our position in the top five shows as per the BARC list for a whole year." He acknowledged that multiple factors influence a show's TRPs but assured viewers of exciting upcoming sequences that will further enhance the characters' journeys.
Insights on Sustaining Television Success
When questioned about the common trend where television shows start strong but gradually lose impact, Dhillon pointed to writing consistency as a critical factor. "I think it happens when one falters with the writing of main characters. By the end of 20 episodes, you see a completely different person," he explained. He credited the sustained success of Udne Ki Aasha to its unwavering narrative quality. "I think our consistency in writing played a huge role in this successful journey. From a brash boy struggling with alcohol who gets married off forcefully, to his current situation, some values of Sachin have stayed intact." Dhillon contrasted this with his past experiences on other shows where character arcs were abruptly altered due to TRP pressures, emphasizing the need for faith in writers.
Cast and Personal Updates
Udne Ki Aasha features a talented ensemble cast including Kanwar Dhillon, Neha Harsora, Sanjay Narvekar, Puru Chibber, Tanvi Shewale, and Devashish Chandiramani in prominent roles. On a personal note, Dhillon is in a steady relationship with his Pandya Store co-star Alice Kaushik. Recently, he made headlines by purchasing a lavish house in Mumbai and sharing a video from his housewarming ceremony, showcasing his growing success both on and off-screen.
Dhillon also took a moment to acknowledge the behind-the-scenes team, stating that major credit for the show's TRP achievements goes to them, highlighting the collaborative effort that drives Udne Ki Aasha's ongoing popularity.
