He further added, 'I truly believe we all have a warrior inside us. I'm just lucky enough to explore mine a little more deeply.'
His character will be introduced after actor Ronit Bose Roy's exit as King Someshwar. 'I'm playing a powerful and dignified character of a warrior Ranveer Bhan. He is described as one of the important people in Chauhan's life.

'To prepare for my role, I've been diving deep into the world of period dramas—watching shows with a similar vibe whenever I get a breather.'
He added, 'Between scenes, you'll probably find me bonding with my horse (we're getting there!), practicing sword fight moves, or rehearsing action sequences. I'm also consciously working on shifting my tone—speaking more like the era, and less like our everyday lingo. And of course, every performer brings their own little masala to the mix… That's the chef's secret ingredient. Cheers!'

I left dentistry and went ahead with my acting dream, and there's been no looking back since. ' Despite not having formal acting training, Keshav leapt with courage and commitment. 'I hadn't learned acting professionally. I took a few workshops and theatre classes here and there—and I still try to attend workshops whenever I can. Honestly, I feel like I've learned the most on set and through the constant grind of auditioning. That hands-on experience has been my best teacher so far!'
