Mumbai, Feb 26 (NationPress) As the nation honors the sacred festival of Maha Shivratri, TV actor Vijayendra Kumeria revealed his profound personal bond with Lord Shiva.
For Kumeria, Maha Shivratri transcends mere celebration; it embodies a night of spiritual connection and contemplation. Currently starring in the show, "Jagriti-Ek Nayi Subah," he expressed the significant role Lord Shiva plays in his life. He reminisced about his childhood and the way he and his family observed Maha Shivratri.
Vijayendra conveyed, “Each character I portray teaches me invaluable lessons, yet the narrative of Lord Shiva remains uniquely special to me. Maha Shivratri is not simply a festival; it’s a night of deep connection and self-reflection.”
He continued, “I fondly recall my childhood celebrations—staying up late with my family, reciting mantras, and soaking in the devotional energy around us. Those experiences instilled in me the strength to endure and the wisdom to release, much like the teachings of Lord Shiva. In many respects, acting parallels this; it’s about adaptation, progression, and balancing tranquility with fervor. On this divine night, I pause to reconnect with that energy. Har Har Mahadev!”
In addition, Vijayendra Kumeria has recently taken on the role of Suraj, the son of the powerful yet unscrupulous Kalikant Thakur. Following a 12-year leap in the family drama, new characters have been introduced: Pranjali Singh as Sapna, Jagriti's childhood rival, and Sagar Parekh as Akash.
Discussing his entry into the show, Vijayendra previously stated, “Upon reading the script, I was captivated by Suraj’s intricate personality. At first glance, he appears arrogant and privileged, exploiting his father's political influence. However, beneath this facade lies a troubled young man yearning for his father's validation and grappling with insecurities. His combination of haughtiness and vulnerability makes him an intriguing character to portray. Suraj’s journey of self-exploration and his transforming relationship with Jagriti are pivotal to the plot, and I am eager to convey his complexities.”
"Jagriti—Ek Nayi Subah," which debuted on January 28th, is broadcast daily on Zee TV.
