On the auspicious day of Raksha Bandhan, celebs celebrate their heartfelt bond with their siblings and make a promise to protect and love each other for the rest of their lives.
Aarya's fond memories with his sister
Aarya Babbar, who essays the role of Kalikant in Zee TV’s Jagriti- Ek Nayi Subah, said, "My sister has always been more than just a sibling, she’s like a second mother to me. As the elder one, she’s guided me, protected me, and loved me with a warmth that feels both comforting and unconditional. From our childhood days of watching movies together to laughing over our kitchen disasters, she’s been my constant and my safe space. Raksha Bandhan, for me, is a celebration of that bond, a day when I get to thank her for every hug, every scolding, every moment she’s stood by me. This year, we’re celebrating just the way we like it: at home, surrounded by family, sharing sweets, stories, and the festive joy that only grows stronger with time."
His recent transformation
Aarya Babbar also opened up about his recent transformation. He said, "Portraying two completely different characters in the same show has been one of the most creatively fulfilling experiences of my career. Kalikant who is intense, layered with power and darkness; and now, stepping into the shoes of Shashikant, who is calm, positive, and rooted in values, has been like discovering a new dimension of myself as an actor."
He further added, "I consciously worked on everything from voice and body language to even the energy I bring to each character to ensure the audience sees them as two distinct individuals. I even chose to colour my hair to ash blonde, white for Shashikant, just to bring a sense of honesty and lived-in realism to the role. This journey is helping me break boundaries, challenge my own methods, and evolve within the same story world. It’s rare to get such a range in one show, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to grow through it."
As Aarya Babbar continues to enjoy this transformative journey on the show, the upcoming twists promise high emotional stakes. Will Shashikant help Jagriti (Rachana Mistry) and Suraj (Vijayendra Kumeria) reunite after their fallout, or will Akash (Sagar Parekh) succeed in driving them apart for good?
