Actor Satya Tiwari takes on a challenging role as the antagonist ‘Babban’ in TV show ‘Neerja Ek Nayi Pehchaan’
Versatile actor Satya Tiwari, known for his lead roles in TV shows such as Rang Jaun Tere Rang Mein, is set to showcase his acting prowess in a new avatar as he joins the cast of the show Neerja Ek Nayi Pehchaan. In this intriguing venture, Satya embraces the role of Babban, an antagonist with a complex character that takes him far from his previous roles.
The actor talked about it in a recent interview and shared his excitement about portraying an antagonist for the first time. Babban stands apart from Satya’s previous roles, as he embodies a one-sided, obsessed lover whose definition of love revolves around possessiveness. Hailing from Sonagachi, a small city near Kolkata known as Asia’s largest red-light area, Babban’s upbringing amidst such an environment has shaped his understanding of only a few emotions. Despite having a childhood connection with Neerja (Aastha Sharma), he has fallen deeply in love with her, setting the stage for intense drama in the show.
In preparation for his role as Babban, Satya found inspiration in Salman Khan’s portrayal of the character Radhe in the film Tere Naam. Similar to Radhe, Babban is a passionate fan of Bollywood cinema, and this cinematic connection adds depth to his personality. Satya studied the film Tere Naam and delved into the world of renowned filmmaker Satyajit Ray, exploring films like Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne, to immerse himself in the character and its cultural nuances.
Having built a reputation for playing the roles of angry young men in TV shows like Gupta Brothers, Meri Durga, and Kaal Bhairav Rahasya 2, Satya has taken on a new challenge by portraying Babban. In real life, he believes in the power of love and values the beauty of this emotion. While presently single, Satya understands the essence of love as a liberating force that simultaneously instills a sense of responsibility. He emphasizes that any obsession, if unchecked, can be detrimental. For him, love signifies comfort, contentment, and personal growth, shaping one’s character positively.
Satya Tiwari’s addition to the cast of Neerja Ek Nayi Pehchaan in the role of Babban promises an exciting and gripping narrative. His dedication to preparing for the role and drawing inspiration from iconic characters is a testament to his commitment to delivering a memorable performance. As audiences tune in to witness Satya’s transformation into Babban, the show is likely to offer a compelling exploration of complex emotions, making it a must-watch for TV enthusiasts.
