The arrival of rain adds a unique appeal to Mumbai. It turns the city into a lush, vibrant landscape, with the refreshing rains wiping away the heat and dust and revealing a different aspect of its beauty. As the city of dreams recently witnessed a spell of rainfall, the cool breeze and the scent of wet earth brought instant relief to many residents, including actor Sheel Verma, known for playing Jaiveer in the show Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain.
Expressing his love for this season, Sheel said, “I enjoy rains and the earthy fragrance that comes after the first rainfall; it’s something I always look forward to. Yesterday, on my way home from a shoot, it began to rain, so I took a longer route with my favourite music playing in the car,” as quoted by Filmibeat.
He added, “In the morning, the sun was back, so I had no expectations. But, surprisingly, it started raining again – and it’s times like this when I happily ignore my diet. I got myself a nice cup of tea and ordered some samosas – the ideal way to enjoy the beautiful weather. As they say in the film Wake Up Sid, ‘Mumbai rains are absolutely to die for’ – and I couldn’t agree more.”
On the work front, Sheel is currently winning hearts with his performance as Jaiveer. In the television series, his character often gets duped by Chamkili (played by Ishita Ganguly), while his wife Chaina (played by Diksha Dhami) acts as his keeper, shielding him and his family from danger.
Previously, speaking about being a part of the show, Sheel said, “This is my first time playing the lead in a television show. So far, I’m really liking it. I’ve worked in films before, but having a major role on television is unique and fascinating.”
“Jaiveer, the character I play in the show, is someone with whom I have a personal connection, and I am thoroughly enjoying portraying him. Jaiveer is a vibrant, cheery person, yet his rough background has left him short-tempered. This contrast makes the character accessible to me,” he added, as quoted by ETimesTV.
The show airs from Monday to Saturday at 9 pm on Shemaroo Umang.
