Varun Badola, who was last seen in a sitcom Gili Gili Guppa over a year ago, is all set to make a comeback to the small-screen with Zee TV's new show Phir Subah Hogi. Varun plays the role of Thakur Vikram Singh in the serial based on the Bedia tribe in Madhya Pradesh. Talking about his role, Varun says that he loves playing unique characters and Vikram Singh is one such personality. Unlike the way Thakurs are usually projected, Varun's Vikram is shown to be a reasonable man who doesn't follow the diktats of rituals and traditions. However, there is talk of his character turning negative, later. The Bedia tribe follows a custom of Sar Dhakai, under which the wealthy Thakurs are allowed to have a mistress. But Varun's Vikram doesn't believe in it. "However, in order to save a girl he is forced to do it and eventually falls in love with her," says Varun who feels the show will help in bringing to light the exploitation that takes place in the name of rituals. "Already some NGOs are working on it and I hope more will join the cause," he adds. |
