It’s not even been a week since the release of the ALTBalaji and ZEE5 Club’s romantic saga ‘Bebaakee’, and audiences can’t stop raving about the show. Delivering soul-touching performances so far as Sufiyaan, Kainaat, and Imtiaz, played by Kushal Tandon, Shivjyoti Rajput, and Karan Jotwani respectively. They have gone on to become overnight sensations on social media especially amongst fans.

Playing the role of the Bebaak and passionate lover, Kushal Tandon continues to garner plaudits with every passing day. Speaking about how he bagged the role of Sufiyaan, the handsome hunk revealed that he got the call from content czarina Ekta Kapoor to discuss the role when he was undergoing martial arts training in Thailand. Going by the resounding success of his character and the show, there’s no prize for guessing that Kushal was glad he said yes.

Speaking about the incident, the actor said, “Ekta ma’am called me and said, “I have written a role for you. You have to do this, and it’s tailor- made for you.” I agreed immediately. What stood out was Ekta ma’am tell- ing me that it’s a very crazy character with grey shades and one of the best- written roles in a fictional web series. I respect and admire her a lot, and when I met her for the first time while shooting for the show ‘Hum’, I was in complete awe of her. One of the best things about her is how she can ex- plain every character so beautifully. I guess that’s what made it so easy for me to portray such a challenging role that viewers have gone on to love.”

We can’t wait to see how things are going to unfold in this family drama that is high on emotion.
