Be it reel as Tidda or real as Nikhil Bhambri, the star from ALTBalaji and ZEE5’s Who’s Your Daddy is the best friend a father could have

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxjYJXw3Z6Y 

Often do we see actors speaking about how a particular role is poles apart to their personality. But when it comes to Nikhil Bhambri, the actor who plays Tidda in the ALTBalaji and ZEE5 starrer Who’s Your Daddy? one can say that he’s very much playing himself. With the role fitting Nikhil exactly like a glove, the actor has received appreciation aplenty for his comic timing that has left audiences in splits. While in the show, Tidda is on the constant lookout for his mother and is raised by a single father, In real life too Nikhil lost his mother at a very young age. But the most glaring similarity between Tidda and Nikhil is of the bond they share with their father. Just like Tidda and his father Soggy (played by Harsh Beniwal), who share an extremely friendly bond in the show, there’s no prize for guessing who is Nikhil’s best friend in his real life.

Speaking about his role and the resemblance to his personal life, Nikhil Bhambri said, “ After my mother passed away when I was very young, I have been raised by my Dad. I developed a beautiful bond with my dad and we are the best of friends. We hang out, go shopping together, crack jokes and pull each other's leg. As a millennial kid, I know everything about technology, so when my dad wants to know something he comes to me. And when I want to know something about finances and banking then he is always to my rescue. While we may be father and son but we share a special bond just like the best of friends. Likewise, on-screen, Tidda’s relationship with his dad Soggy is extremely similar to my real life. That's why, it was very easy for me to play Tidda on-screen because I was the same off-screen with my dad, thanks to the relationship that we share.”

Who’s Your Daddy showcases the story of how Soggy’s father becomes an overnight star with the lady patrons of the DVD world and how the duo run a successful business until their world turns upside down. Amidst this entire chaos, nobody seems to find the answer to one question - ‘Soggy Ke Bete Tidda Ka Daddy Kaun Hai?’

Amidst speculation about Apharan….Sabka Katega, Season 2 going on the floors, now some unseen footage from the last season has just been released. This unseen footage leaves audiences in further anticipation while giving yet another glimpse of some brilliant dialogue-writing which gave viewers some sassy content for memes along with Arunoday’s action sequences, Mahi’s mischievousness and Nidhi’s rustic innocence.

The action-suspense thriller, which was widely appreciated among the masses, received an IMDb rating of 9.2/10. With such high ratings and soaring popularity, ALTBalaji has all the reasons for coming up with a brand new season of this path-breaking show. This previously unseen footage from Apharan gives us one more reason to believe that the wait for season 2 might end soon.  The show was packed with some dazzling performances by Arunoday Singh, Mahie Gill, Varun Badola and Nidhi Singh in the lead. For the second season, if sources are to be believed, there is a female antagonist in the second season who will take the game of Firauti a step ahead. Rumours are ripe that  Mallika Sherawat and Aditi Rao Hydari are being considered for this role.

For the newbies, Apharan.…Sabka Katega, as the name suggests is a twisted tale of kidnapping. What makes this show a standout, is the fact that top cop Rudra Srivastava, is forced into kidnapping a girl at her own behest, following which nothing goes according to the plan. He finds himself getting tangled deeper and deeper, in a web of lies and intrigue, with a lot at stake. Set in the hindi heartland of the country, the original web-series truly enthralled audiences with its 70’s style masala entertainment, epic one-liners and its upbeat retro music. Throughout the first season's 12 episode run, the series was packed with intriguing twists and its gritty narrative was complemented by upbeat retro music, which added to its background as an electrifying score.

Shot at real locations in Haridwar, with the help of drones, the city plays a crucial role as events unfold in this gripping narrative. With the mood and pulse of the story being spot-on, Apaharan well and truly captured the essence of the thriller drama that they wanted to convey. Going by the clues that ALTBalaji is dropping, we cannot contain our excitement for season 2!

The dashing and debonair heartthrob Shantanu Maheshwari, on playing the protagonist Abir shared, “This is a very different character that I am playing. Abir has actually given me a glimpse into the real life of medical students, something I have never even imagined. I’m very excited about the web-series as I am taking up an acting project after long, something I was actually missing.  I had a great time working with the entire cast and crew. The entire unit has been very hard working and the off-screen chemistry between the entire cast will definitely reflect on screen.”

What makes it an interesting watch is Abir’s struggle to be a topper by defeating the current class topper Nibedita, by hook or by crook and the situations he puts himself in order to beat his rival.
