A Complete Character Transformation for Nikhhil Raaj Khera
Nikhhil shared that his new role is a departure from his earlier portrayals, which were often loud and dominating. "In my previous shows, my character was loud and dominating, but in this show, my character is very cool and calm, and he carries lots of positive vibes and happiness. So in a way, it is totally different from the ones I have played before," he explained. This shift allows him to explore a more serene and uplifting persona, adding depth to his acting repertoire.
Behind the Scenes: Extensive Look Tests and Supportive Team
The actor revealed that bringing this character to life required significant effort, with nearly 70-75 changes made during look tests and costume trials. He extended his gratitude to Studio LSD for their seamless support throughout this process. "The creatives of Studio LSD and the channel have been very supportive," Nikhhil noted, praising the team for their loving and calm demeanor. He added, "It's a privilege to work with Studio LSD, as LSD means Laxmi, Saraswati, and Durga, and they are truly following it. They are rooted, lovable, and vibrant. So the entire crew carries lots of positive vibes."
Character Profile: A Loving Father with a Heart of Gold
Delving into his character, Nikhhil described him as a loving father who, despite not becoming a doctor himself, finds immense satisfaction in his son's medical career. "He himself runs a chemist shop and helps people for free to improve their mental health. He is a psychiatrist without a degree," the actor shared. This character is deeply protective of his son's happiness, even agreeing to his marriage with Anu, despite her parents' lower-middle-class background, showcasing his unconditional love.
Personal Connection: Aligning with Real-Life Beliefs
Nikhhil finds a strong resonance between his character and his personal beliefs. "I am a strong believer in karma and God. I strongly believe what you give comes back to you, so never do any bad karma, which will be very difficult for you to face in the future, as what you are giving will come back to you for sure, and my character is of the same opinion," he stated. This alignment adds authenticity to his portrayal, making the role more meaningful for him.
Upcoming Twists and the Show's Unique Narrative
As his character prepares for his son's wedding ceremonies, including roka, shagun, marriage, and reception, viewers can expect new twists. Nikhhil hinted, "My character has sensed that Anu is tense, so he is trying to figure out the reason for that. It's a love triangle, and so many twists and turns will unfold in the coming weeks and months." The show, Tumm Se Tumm Tak, revolves around Arya and Anu, a couple navigating an age-gap relationship. Nikhhil emphasized, "The story is very unusual, as the age difference between Anu and Arya is big, which is generally taken the wrong way in our society, but this story is of pure and true love. So will they achieve their love, and for that, you have to keep watching this beautiful saga of a love story."
