After building a solid repertoire of intense negative roles in TV serials like Mai Hoon Aparajita and Yeh Hai Chahatein, actor Shubhkaraan is all set to explore a new genre by stepping into a refreshing new avatar — that of the emotionally grounded, morally upright Ruhan, in his latest television assignment.
In an exclusive chat with Deccan Herald, Shubhkaraan opened up about this exciting shift in his on-screen journey and said, “It’s actually the first time I’m playing a full-on positive character. Ruhan is someone who carries the weight of the family’s emotional baggage, but never loses his composure. He’s the guy who tries to hold everything together while all the drama unfolds around him.”
The character of Ruhan is at the heart of the family conflicts and upcoming episodes promise to heat things up. “Ruhan’s arc is only going to get more intense. He’s about to discover the real truth about Sanjana, the ex-girlfriend of his elder brother, who’s suddenly re-entered the picture trying to win him back. So yes, there’s a storm coming,” said Shubh.
As he enjoys the opportunity to portray a more nuanced and balanced character in the Hindi television industry, Shubh is also juggling his time between TV serials and web series.
“I recently wrapped up a project titled Power of Panchh for Jio Hotstar. It’s a completely different space and I’m excited to keep exploring roles that challenge me in new ways — whether it’s on digital or TV,” he says.
By shuttling between traditional TV dramas and modern streaming series, Shubhkaraan is making the most of the Hindi soap opera by carving his own niche space. With Ruhan, he’s up for an entirely new side of his talent — and audiences are already in awe of it.
