Zee Tv’s upcoming show Bhagya Lakshmi is all set to entertain the viewers with an exciting story about life, love, karma, and destiny. The story is based on the journey of a selfless Mumbai girl Lakshmi who always puts others’ needs before hers. Aishwarya Khare and Rohit Suchanti are already finalized for the lead roles. Along with them, veteran actor Virendra Saxena will also play a pivotal role in the show.
The name Virendra Saxena needs no introduction and is perhaps one of the most talented and experienced actors in the industry. The actor is returning to the small screen after more than a decade with the role of Lakshmi’s father. the character of Lakshmi’s father, Manoj Bajwa shares a great bond with his daughter and firmly believes that Lakshmi has her family’s values instilled in her.
Talking about his comeback in an interview with BT, Virendra said “A good story always impacts the audience and their lives, and I’d like to believe Bhagya Lakshmi would do the same. I’ve been keeping away from the television industry for quite some time now, because the kind of stories that have been happening and the kind of roles I’ve been getting over the years had somehow bored me. In fact, when I got the offer for Bhagya Laxmi also, I wasn’t very curious, but when I read the script, I couldn’t say no. Also, when I got to know that Ekta ji (Kapoor) wanted me to play this role, there was no way I could say no to the project because I have always had this huge respect for her for the person she is. Working with Balaji has always been a treat because the kind of sets they make and the investments they do for their projects are really unfathomable.
Talking further about his character, Virendra shared, “The day I read the script, I could only think of people like Manoj Bajwa, who actually exist but in rare numbers. The special part about this character is the father-daughter bond between Manoj and Lakshmi which honestly makes the character more special to me. I don’t have children, but such characters have given me enough knowledge of parentship, and I think I’ll make full use of that here. In fact, I am really looking forward to building a relationship with my reel daughter on set this time. Bhagya Lakshmi is a beautiful story, which will surely win hearts, and all the more special for me because I’m going to be taking part in the small screen after almost a decade. I’m just hoping the whole team gets to do justice to the show and our beloved audience shower as much love as possible, so we can deliver our very best.”
