In a television landscape often dominated by women-oriented narratives, actor Manas Shah finds himself in a unique position as the central figure in the popular show “Yeh Hai Chahatein.” Introduced in November last year, Manas’s character is now poised to take on a double role, a rarity for male actors in the industry.
Manas enthusiastically describes the contrasting personas he will portray—Aditya, the sweet and caring brother, and Aman, his dominating and possessive twin. Aman’s intense love for Kaashvi drives him to extreme lengths, showcasing both his admirable qualities as an ideal partner and his darker tendencies, transforming from hero to villain in the blink of an eye.
The dynamic between the two brothers, especially Aditya’s protective nature towards Aman due to his challenging upbringing, adds depth to the storyline. As the plot unfolds, Aditya’s unwavering support for his brother leads him to sacrifice his own freedom, highlighting the bond between them and Aditya’s innocence in his actions.
Reflecting on the significance of his dual role, Manas recognizes it as a rare opportunity in television, particularly for male actors. Amidst a predominantly female-centric landscape, he acknowledges the show’s willingness to break conventions and provide him with diverse character exploration—from heroism to villainy.
Grateful for the chance to delve into both positive and negative shades of his characters, Manas embraces the challenges and rewards of portraying complex roles. His journey in “Yeh Hai Chahatein” not only showcases his versatility as an actor but also underscores the evolving dynamics of gender representation in television storytelling.
