Star Bharat’s newly launched show ‘Mann Ki Awaaz Pratigya 2’
What is in store for the audience as ‘Mann Ki Awaaz
Pratigya’ returns with its second season?
The audience will surely witness a much-developed
storyline. 9 years later, the story has moved further and it isn’t the same
from where we left it. I wouldn’t want to call it a change, but yes there is
some freshness added to it and I am positive the audience will connect to the
show once again.
How has your character Krishna developed as compared to
the first season?
As a story evolves, a character too tends to showcase
change. The story has now moved 9 years further, and since Krishna is now 9
years older than he was, everything has evolved. He is now much mature and a
father of two kids. Also, there is a consistent attempt from Pratigya to make
him a good man, so that he does not go in evil or an ugly direction. Initially,
in the first season, Krishna was seen as a person with diminished hope, but now
he is nothing in comparison to that. He has slated himself clean for his family
though he certainly yet has his trigger points.
Tell us about the various preparations that you have
undertaken for your character in this season?
Initially, in the last season, it was difficult to pick
the right notes to play Krishna as the character itself is very raw and has
multiple shades. Although, I love challenges and I strongly believe it pushes
you for your best. Krishna as a character is very complex, and to bring it fine
to the screen I had to work on the layers of the character. All these efforts
that I had put in to build my character in the last season have helped me essay
it once again. However, there are a few changes and elements that I have added
and worked upon my character since the show returns after 9 years with a
developed story. Besides that, I have been working towards losing some weight
although there are no major transformations.
Your chemistry with Pooja was widely appreciated, do you
think that the audience will get to witness the same magic once again in season
2?
When we shot our first scene almost 9 years later, we
didn't feel like we were shooting together after so many years. We certainly
did not feel any kind of pressure either, everything went on naturally as we
share a great rapport. The chemistry between us is still alive. We share a very
friendly bond and are very supportive of each other. It’s a fun and positive
zone. Though to be honest, the judgment lies with the audience as we will now
be seen as parents in the show.
How do you feel returning to the screen with 'Mann Ki
Awaaz Pledge 2?
It feels like coming home again. Over the years, I played
many different characters, but it was certainly the right time to play the
character that was closest to my heart. This time, I’m positive, the audience
will get to witness a completely new and different Krishna Singh on-screen.
Did you face any challenges while essaying this role once
again?
There weren’t any major challenges that I had to undergo
this time since essaying Krishna was a bit of an easy task. Everything was
pretty natural as Krishna is like another person inside me, it was like muscle
memory that came out after 9 years. I would say, I did not have to do much to
bring out the character. However, there are a few changes and elements that I
have added and worked upon.
Tell us about the bond you share with your co-stars
After almost a decade, it was great to meet everyone that
was associated with the first season once again. Watching all of us reuniting
was indeed a unique occasion as all old memories were refreshed with positive
energy reflecting in our on-screen performances. At the end of the day, I think
we are all very fortunate to be able to revive old moments once again.
What are your expectations from the show 'Mann Ki Awaaz
Pledge 2'?
The audience had showered a lot of love on the first
season and also waited for a long time for the second season of the show to
return to see Krishna and Pratigya together again on their TV screens. Now all
I hope for is that we meet and fulfill the expectations of the audience who had
been waiting for us for such a long time.
Tell us about your experience of shooting outdoors in
Allahabad city, UP?
Shooting in Allahabad was a great experience. The crowd
was super ecstatic and though it looked impossible initially, we finished
smoothly. I got this opportunity to take a dip in the Holy River Ganga for the
first time and the experience was completely gratifying. It also felt nostalgic
while shooting at the same location after nine years. Though almost a decade
later, the memories are still indeed fresh.
Would you like to send a message to the audience on your
behalf?
I would like to thank everyone for the wonderful wishes
and messages that we have been receiving from across the country. Our show is
something to look forward to, so I’d like to take this opportunity and
encourage more viewers to tune in and watch this show.
