Shaheer Sheikh on moving into Sushant Singh Rajput’s footwear in Pavitra Rishta 2: ‘It’s a giant accountability’
At the press interplay lately, Ankita revealed how she felt Shaheer can be the only option as Manav, given his simplicity and genuineness. However, for him, it was a giant accountability and he felt the strain of moving into the large footwear of the late actor.
“Initially I was really nervous and not sure but as I started understanding Manav, I think I became him. When I saw myself for the first time on screen, I couldn’t believe it was me. He is so pure and I think the (most) earnest character I have played on screen. There is so much to be loved about him that I too fell in love,” Shaheer shared, including that Manav is simply too good, and he has been impressed by him to turn into a greater individual.
He then went on so as to add, “It was pressurising as I wondered if people would accept me or not. However, I knew that if I give 100 per cent, I am sure I will swim through. And then the response that people will have is not in my hands.”
Talking in regards to the new season, the actor stated it’s a recent tackle the love story however the soul has been retained. Shaheer stated that he by no means realised that ‘simplicity could be so beautiful,’ including that these two easy individuals can do something to make one another really feel particular.
Manav within the unique collection and now even within the new trailer is seen expressing his feelings and even crying with out disgrace. Touching upon the subject of males’s sensitivity on-screen, Shaheer stated that individuals are inclined to normally neglect male feelings. “A man can also feel, cry and express his emotions. Unfortunately, we are taught that men don’t cry. I think Manav can become a good example of vulnerability among men. I believe expressing your feelings is never wrong and people will learn a lot from him.”
Starting September 15, Pavitra Rishta 2 will stream on ZEE5.
