Anupamaa fame Gaurav Sharma steps into the shoes of Maahir Dhillon

Gaurav Sharma, who was last seen in Star Plus' popular show Anupamaa, is making his return to television with a dynamic new role as Maahir Dhillon. A young, brilliant lawyer from Chandigarh, Maahir is guided by a strong moral compass and refuses to defend anyone he believes to be morally corrupt. Cynical about relationships, he holds the view that women are more drawn to wealth than love. However, his perspective is challenged when he meets Baani, whose unwavering integrity and fierce determination captivate him. Impressed by her loyalty to Rajat and her bold, spirited personality, Maahir agrees to help her navigate the legal troubles stemming from her involvement in illegal stock trading.

India Forums caught up with Gaurav Sharma to learn more about his character and what drew him to take on this role.

How would you describe Maahir Dhillon, and what made you want to play him?
"Maahir Dhillon is a young, successful, and charming advocate from Chandigarh with a deep love for his grandmother. He's an idealist at heart, someone who believes in upholding principles above all. What attracted me to this character was the shift in his worldview, especially when he meets Baani. I love taking on challenging roles, and this character offers a significant departure from my previous role, which was quite different in nature. This transformation in Maahir was something I was eager to explore."

Were there any particular moments or scenes that stood out to you while filming?
"One of my favorite moments was when Maahir explains the essence of life to Baani using an iconic moment from the Mahabharata. I'm a huge fan of mythology, so that scene felt very special to me. It was also quite challenging to deliver the depth and meaning it required, but it turned out to be a memorable one."

As Maahir becomes more involved in Baani and Rajat's world, viewers can look forward to intriguing twists and the unfolding of a brewing conflict, promising plenty of drama in the episodes ahead.
