KundaliBhagya has kept its audience hooked over the past few months with several twists and turns in Preeta’s(Shraddha Arya) life. After Karan Luthra's (Dheeraj Dhoopar) death, the show has taken a five-year leap. Actor Shakti Arora is all set to enter the show in tonight's episode. He plays a character with grey shades on the show.
Kundali Bhagya marks Shakti Arora's comeback on television after three years. He made a spectacular entry on the show, pulling off a daredevil aerial stunt in his first scene for Kundali Bhagya. The sequence sees Arjun (Shakti) running through a busy street and jumping over trucks to save Preeta’s daughter from a car accident, while the latter is busy shopping with Rishabh (Manit Joura). The promos are already out.
Shakti was kicked about such an exciting entry and even though he was offered a body double, he insisted on pulling off the stunt all by himself. The team took all the necessary precautions, yet Shakti did face a minor setback when he got slightly injured during one of the shots. However, it could not deter the actor, who completed the stunt.
Speaking about his stylish entry, Shakti Arora said, "In TV shows, we rarely get a chance to perform stunts, so when this opportunity came up, especially for my entry sequence, I just couldn’t say no. I had the option of using a body double, but I really wanted to do it by myself. I have been wanting to do a real action sequence for a while now and this thrilling stunt really made me happy. I did suffer a small setback while shooting when I bruised my knee, but I didn’t want to halt the shoot midway and hence, I continued. I visited the doctor post wrap up and he said that it wasn’t anything major and the injury should heal soon. All in all, it was an experience of a lifetime, and I am sure the role will be a great challenge for me. It is the kind of role that I have not played till now, and I hope that my fans will enjoy watching me in this new avatar and character."
On the show, Rishabh Luthra (Manit Joura) recently returned to Luthra mansion and exposed Sherlyn (Ruhi Chaturvedi) and Prithvi’s (Sanjay Gagnani) evil plans. But, this was followed by a shocking incident. Karan (Dheeraj Dhoopar) was thrown into a lake by two masked villains and was chased down by a crocodile. The whole family, even though they reached the lake in time, couldn’t do much and saw him vanish into the lake. Five years later, the whole family is still dealing with Karan's loss, but others have moved on in their lives. Arjun's (Shakti Arora) entry will stir things up in Kundali Bhagya and creates trouble in Preeta’s life.
Kundali Bhagya airs every Monday to Friday at 9.30 pm on Zee TV.
