Sony Entertainment Television’s Punyashlok Ahilyabai have been [ushing boundaries with the amazing narration and solid performances by the leads. Actors Gaurav Amlani and Aetashaa Sansgiri who are essaying the pivotal roles of Khanderao and Ahilyabai Holkar are garnering a lot of love for their stint in the show.
Actor Gaurav Amlani during an interview with India Forums talked about his role of ‘Khanderao Holkar’and shared, “Playing Khanderao’s character has so much potential and range of emotions for an actor. It is just beautiful and extremely rare at the same time, especially for television. There are so many layers to him that unfold with every new phase and chapter in the storyline. He is aspirational, ambitious, strong-headed, unpredictable, extreme with his emotions and has a very emotional & romantic side to him at the same time.”
He added, “There are so many shades and areas, so much to explore as an actor that I actually learn so much through him everyday. While he wants to be happy and supportive of Ahilya, but there is always something or the other that causes a divide between the two. It is important to understand the great emotional complexity this character comes with. Playing such a nuanced character only makes me richer as an actor. I work hard and try to give my best every day”.
