Ankit Gupta plays Ranvijay who comes from a wealthy farming family but lives in the city for his education. His family dynamics are complex, especially his relationship with his father.
Ankit Gupta, known for his roles in TV shows like Udaariyaan and Junoniat, is all set to make a comeback to the small screen, after a considerable hiatus, with Maati Se Bandhi Dor. This new project will have him sharing the screen with Rutuja Bagwe and the shooting is reportedly underway. In an interview with Pinkvilla, the actor discussed the details of his character and the challenges he faced with the Marathi language for this role. For Ankit, Maati Se Benhi Dur is not just a show; It is an exploration of deep-rooted relationships and unique cultural nuances.
In the upcoming show, Ankit plays a character named Rannvijay (Rana) who comes from a wealthy farming family but lives in the city for his education. His family dynamics are complex, especially his relationship with his father, which lacks warmth but is balanced by a deep admiration for his mother.
During the conversation, Ankit revealed that the plot takes an interesting turn when his character, Rana, falls in love with a city girl, only that his mother already chooses a girl from their village, to marry her. Despite his feelings, Rana agrees to the arranged marriage out of respect and admiration for his mother, which leads to an intriguing storyline that explores the evolving dynamic between Rana and his father, along with his love story.
Ankit also opened up about his struggles with the Marathi language, citing Bombay’s mixed culture as a challenge in understanding the Marathi dialect spoken in Kolhapur.
“When I started shooting, I got a little into the Marathi cultural community. Do their festivals take place? Kaise wo log sochte hain (When I started these shoots, I started to understand a little about Marathi culture. What are their festivals? How do they think?),” he explained.
However, he expressed relief that his character does not require him to speak Marathi dialogues, making it easier for him to connect with the role.
Apart from Ankit and Rutuja, Maati Se Bandhi Dor also features Gauravv Mukesh, known for his negative role in Imlie.
Apart from this highly anticipated show, Ankit appeared on Bigg Boss 16 recently. His participation in the popular reality has already skyrocketed his popularity. His relationship with Priyanka Chahar Choudhary during the show made headlines, showing audiences another side of his persona.
