Arjun Singh Shekhawat, who has featured in TV shows Pandya Store, Nimki Vidhayak, Balika Vadhu 2, Kumkum Bhagya, etc., has joined the cast of Dangal TV’s new show Pati Anadi, produced by Shashi Sumeet Productions.
Arjun always has a penchant for exploring newer territories and roles. He says, “After my last television project, Kumkum Bhagya, I took a conscious break from routine roles and explored ads and short-format OTT content, where I got to experiment with different storytelling styles as a lead. That phase helped me grow, and when this role came along, it felt like a natural next step because of how different it was in tone and personality.”
He talks about this character being different from his previous roles. “This character stands apart mainly because of his world and mindset. The Mathura backdrop brings its own flavour in terms of expression and behaviour, while Nishant himself is slightly off-centre — witty, impulsive, and layered without being intense. I’ve always aimed to approach roles with a sense of transformation, and here too, the focus has been on creating someone who feels authentic and not repetitive of anything I’ve done before.”
He goes on to describe his character, “In Pati Anadi, I portray Nishant — a free-spirited guy from Mathura who carries an easy, unbothered attitude and a playful edge. He doesn’t fit into the usual “ideal elder brother” mould; instead, he enjoys pulling his younger brother’s leg and stirring harmless chaos, which adds a refreshing layer to the narrative. What interested me most is that he isn’t clearly right or wrong — he operates in that in-between space, which makes him unpredictable and fun to explore.”
Best of luck!!
