Wagle Ki Duniya: Will Rajesh Wagle save his son Atharv from his own destructive choices?

Time of India05-06-2025
In Wagle Ki Duniya – Nayi Peedhi Naye Kissey, emotions run high as Atharv (Sheehan Kapahi) finds himself caught in a web of his own making. Upset at being blamed for his school football team's defeat, Atharv hatches a plan to replace Coach Shukla (Ashutosh Priyadarshini), unaware of the coach's financial hardships and his pregnant wife's condition.
Determined to prove his point, Atharv misleads Vice Principal Mr. Bhiwandiwala (Jay Kapdiya) into believing that his uncle Manoj (Vipul Deshpande), despite being unqualified, is a better fit for the role. However, just when Atharv believes things are falling into place, Manoj announces he's moving out of Mumbai for a new job—leaving the school in a lurch and Atharv's plan exposed.
The truth surfaces when Coach Shukla reaches out to Rajesh Wagle and reveals the full extent of Atharv's manipulation.
Shocked and disheartened, Rajesh is left to confront his son's actions.
Sumeet Raghavan, who essays the role of Rajesh Wagle, shared, 'As a parent, Rajesh is deeply shaken by Atharv's actions. It's not just about right or wrong—it's about understanding why a child made a certain choice. Atharv's need to prove himself leads him down a path where he unknowingly hurts someone else, and that hits Rajesh hard. This storyline really highlights the emotional dilemma parents face: how do you support your child while also helping them see the gravity of their mistakes?'
As the Wagle family navigates this emotional storm, the show continues to reflect everyday struggles of the middle class with warmth and honesty. Meanwhile, the mystery of the talking crow is also resolved, as Rajesh exposes Subash (Konark Dinkar) as a ventriloquist tricking people for money.

"Feels surreal": 'Sarabhai vs Sarabhai' star Rajesh Kumar on starting second innings with Saiyaara

Actor , best known for 'Sarabhai vs Sarabhai,' has made a stellar comeback to acting with 'Saiyaara.' Rajesh is seen as Aneet Padda's on-screen father in the film. Speaking to ANI, the actor expressed gratitude over embarking on his second innings as he shared, "It feels surreal. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now For me individually, I have begun a second innings in film. There is gratitude for the fact that I have been a part of the biggest blockbuster one can expect in life. I still can't believe it. Every character is getting noticed. Individual performances are being observed and have received praise." Noting that the whole approach of making the film was "inclusive," Rajesh added, "Everyone was working towards the film. Whatever we did, it was all for Mohit Suri's vision. The numbers, the shows, and the love have proven it." The actor also emphasised that 'Saiyaara' has created an ecosystem for everyone to rely on, adding that the influence is present almost everywhere. "What can be a better way for Bollywood to leave an impact - on the audiences and even on the local economy," he continued. In response to the craze among audiences in cinema halls, Rajesh drew parallels between generations and their reactions to films. "Every generation outpours their love for that one particular film. If I tell my kid about Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, he won't be able to relate to it. Aashiqui had a generation, and similarly, Saiyaara has got a generation. So, films are made on the expectations of the generation," the actor said. He explained that the film has turned out to be relatable as the concept is "believable and humane." Rajesh also went on to describe his experience in 'Saiyaara' as a "dream come true" moment, with the involvement of YRF, debutant actors, and such a big team. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "When I was in the industry back then, I did only 2-3 films. In my age bracket, there is a requirement for characters like mine. So, I think my placement in the second innings has been done perfectly. I am exploring all the dimensions and I am getting different roles," he said. During the conversation, the actor also dropped hints about his upcoming films with filmmakers Anurag Kashyap and Amit Rai. Nonetheless, 'Saiyaara,' which released on July 18, has received rave reviews from fans and critics alike.

‘Saiyaara' actor Rajesh Kumar recalls an old interaction with Dimple Kapadia, criticises the hierarchy system in Bollywood: ‘Enough about me'

Mohit Suri 's 'Saiyaara' has been the talk of the town ever since it released on Friday. The film has been getting those huge numbers at the box office and proven to be a sleeper hit. It stars Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda in lead roles. It also stars Rajesh Kumar who is largely known for playing Rosesh in the television series 'Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai'. In a recent interview as the actor opened up on 'Saiyyara', he revealed some things about Bollywood that he does not like – for instance, hierarchy system. In a recent chat with Galatta Media, Rajesh opened up about his journey and shared his thoughts on the long-standing 'hierarchy system' in Bollywood—something he believes needs to change. 'The hierarchy system has always existed in Bollywood, and I felt it while working. In terms of how an actor gets treated according to their star value, that metric only takes into account the amount of money they are bringing in or how much people like them. I feel that the system is now changing and evolving with the new generation,' he said. He explained how this unwritten structure sometimes becomes very obvious, especially when lead actors don't engage properly with their co-stars. He said, 'I used to feel this system really bear on me, even a few years back. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why seniors are rushing to get this Internet box – here's why!

I want to meet the person who decides who is the big actor and who is the smaller one. I mean, some actors will just go and rehearse with the writer and will tell you that changes at the last moment, and I don't think that is right. ' Rajesh believes that actors should connect and talk beyond just the scenes they are filming. He shared how he made that effort with newcomer Aneet Padda, who plays his daughter in Saiyaara. They spent time talking and building an emotional bond that helped them on screen. While he praised the younger generation for being more open and collaborative, he also remembered a special moment from the past with veteran actress Dimple Kapadia . 'I will tell you one incident involving Dimple Kapadia ji, and I think it was a beautiful moment for me. We were shooting in Jaisalmer, and we were all sitting around her talking about her work. After a few minutes she stops us and says, 'Enough about me; can I know something about you guys?' That is when you have a real conversation, because just sitting around appreciating someone is different, and an actual human conversation is totally different. That is something missing from our industry, and we don't understand how someone else's story can help us in our own journey.'

Rajesh Kumar criticises ‘Bollywood hierarchy', says ‘had a human conversation' with Dimple Kapadia: ‘Sitting on same couch as stars difficult at times, can't only appreciate…'

There are a plethora of actors in the industry who were great theatre or TV artistes and gave memorable performances in Bollywood doing character roles. Actor Rajesh Kumar of Sarabhai vs Sarabhai fame is one such name, and even though he took a sabbatical from acting to focus on his passion for farming, he is now back with Mohit Suri's blockbuster hit Saiyaara featuring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. In a recent interview, the actor talked about his journey in Bollywood and stated that the industry has always worked on a 'hierarchy system', something which he believes should change. While talking to Galatta media, Rajesh talked about this 'hierarchy system' and expressed his dislike for how it reduces artistes to numbers and metrics. He said, 'The hierarchy system has always existed in Bollywood, and I felt it while working. In terms of how an actor gets treated according to their star value, that metric only takes into account the amount of money they are bringing in or how much people like them. I feel that the system is now changing and evolving with the new generation.'

'I used to feel this system really bear on me, even a few years back. One might be respected as an actor, but even sitting on the same couch becomes difficult. I want to meet the person who decides who is the big actor and who is the smaller one. I mean, some actors will just go and rehearse with the writer and will tell you that changes at the last moment, and I don't think that is right.' Rajesh added that the actors need to converse and connect outside the scene they are shooting and gave the example of newcomer Aneet, who he talked with extensively to create the emotional bond which would be required to play her father. Even though he was more appreciative of the younger generation, he did recall one example from the past, involving the extremely talented Dimple Kapadia, who, according to him, made the actors around her seen. Rajesh said, 'I will tell you one incident involving Dimple Kapadia ji, and I think it was a beautiful moment for me. We were shooting in Jaisalmer, and we were all sitting around her talking about her work. After a few minutes she stops us and says, 'Enough about me; can I know something about you guys?' That is when you have a real conversation, because just sitting around appreciating someone is different, and an actual human conversation is totally different. That is something missing from our industry, and we don't understand how someone else's story can help us in our own journey.' Whether the structure survives or not, Rajesh, along with Suri and Yash Raj Studios, is currently enjoying the box-office success of Saiyaara.
