The web series Dil Dhokha aur Desire, which streams on ShemarooMe, introduces viewers to a quiet yet powerful presence. Ali Hasan, who is seen in a compelling new avatar as Pratap, plays someone who doesn’t say much yet leaves a lasting impact, and Pratap is exactly that.
In the series, Ali Hasan portrays Pratap, a character who often operates from the shadows, guided by unspoken truths and concealed intentions. Observant, restrained, and emotionally complex, Pratap’s motivations unfold gradually, making him a crucial thread in the series’ intricate web of relationships and deception. Akanksha Chamola and Kunwar Amar are also seen in the series.
Ali Hasan adds depth and emotion to Pratap, bringing out the layers beneath his calm exterior. Pratap is a man who watches closely and strikes when the moment is right. His decisions, made quietly and carefully, begin to shape the lives and choices of those around him, making him one of the most intriguing characters in the story. Driven by unspoken truths and hidden motives, Pratap’s journey unfolds slowly, drawing viewers deeper into the narrative of Dil Dhokha aur Desire.
Speaking about stepping into his character, Ali Hasan shares, “What intrigued me about Pratap was the silence he carries; there is a lot left unsaid, and that emotional restraint makes him powerful. I went in with no preconceived ideas, just the instinct to give my best, and once I understood the energy of the character, everything clicked. Pratap isn’t purely good or bad; he lives in the grey. He appears strong and intimidating on the surface, yet is deeply insecure within, and that contrast makes him human. Dil Dhokha aur Desire reflects life itself, where love comes from the heart, betrayal happens when love blinds you, and desire becomes a power game that can change everything. I am excited for audiences to experience this story on ShemarooMe.”
Set against intense interpersonal dynamics and moral dilemmas, Dil Dhokha aur Desire explores how desire and deception blur the lines between right and wrong. Pratap’s presence adds depth and tension to the narrative, shaping its emotional trajectory in meaningful ways.
