After Tenali Rama, Priyamvada Kant to play Pedwali in Gharwali Pedwali
Priyamvada Kant Soon after wrapping up the shoot for Tenali Rama, in which she reprised the role of Sharada, the wife of Tenali Rama, Priyamvada Kant has bagged a new project. The actress has been roped in to play the lead role of Pedwali opposite Paras Arora in Gharwali Pedwali. The show offers her an entirely new canvas to explore a vibrant, comedic yet emotional character in a family comedy with a supernatural twist. Priyamvada confirms, 'I'm happy to be playing the protagonist in Gharwali Pedwali. The character of Pedwali is unlike anything I've done before. She's quirky, endearing and a really fun character. I fell in love with her the moment I read the script. I can't wait for the audience to meet her.' Known for pushing boundaries and experimenting with different mediums, Priyamvada ventured into theatre last year with the teleplay Peechha Karti Parchhaiyaan, which also featured Ila Arun and Param Singh. Reflecting on her transition to stage during a previous conversation, she had shared, 'I've been doing television for quite some time. It's my comfort zone and I absolutely love it. But of course, we need a break in between to do something exciting. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Are The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo I had been wanting to do a play for a while. I am a trained classical dancer and have been on stage all my life, so my first interaction with any performative art was on stage.' She continued, 'I really missed being on stage and had been wanting to do theatre in Bombay for a very long time. But I wasn't getting the right opportunity or the right people to work with. Also, it's nearly impossible to manage theatre alongside television. When I got to know Ila Ma'am was casting for the play, I went and met her. I've been a huge fan of hers. She asked me to read a few lines and liked my pitch in Hindi. That's how I landed the role. It's actually my first play ever.'

Paras Arora on Gharwali Pedwali: Comedy shows are rare and I love being part of one
Paras Arora Last seen in Gehna Zewar Ya Zanjeer, Paras Arora is gearing up for his next role in Gharwali Pedwali, a family comedy with a supernatural twist. He plays Prithvi Mishra, also known as Jeetu, a man navigating life with two sets of everything: parents, bosses, and even wives. Speaking about his return to the comedy genre, Paras says, 'Comedy shows have become quite rare these days and I enjoy working in this space. While drama dominates Indian television, not many shows aim to genuinely make people laugh. I consider it a privilege to be part of one that does. It had been a while since I explored this genre and I truly connected with the script, the concept, and my character Jeetu. Another appealing aspect is that most characters in the show are rooted in Uttar Pradesh, which adds a nice cultural layer. ' Describing his character, he shares, 'What I find most fun and fascinating about Jeetu is how he's caught between his gharwali and pedwali, constantly juggling both lives. The situations he finds himself in are bizarre, humorous, and oddly relatable. Jeetu isn't street smart or manipulative, he's just trying to keep things from spiralling out of control. There's an innocence to him that makes him very likeable.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo Paras also touches on the complexity of playing Jeetu. He says, 'One of the biggest challenges was striking the right balance, ensuring he didn't come across as either too clever or too naïve. There's a thin line between being sharp and being wise and walking that convincingly was something I really enjoyed.' The show also promises to blend traditional values with contemporary humour in unexpected ways. On the title, he adds, 'Gharwali Pedwali is quirky and fits perfectly with the story's tone. It sets the stage for the kind of chaos the audience can expect, with enough surprises to keep them hooked.'
