Sikandar Kher in Aarya
Sikandar Kher, son of actress Kirron Kher and Anupam Kher returned to `Aarya` with his loyal character of Daulat.The web series that saw the release of its third season last week on Disney+Hotstar has Sushmita Sen in the lead.”I think that Ram Madhvani had something special in the very beginning. Initially, he was going to be making a movie and that did not work out and then it came to this and how the world functions in such beautiful ways. I think eventually this is what destiny had planned and people loved it and gave it so much love. I think the way the writers and Ram and his world and his creativity and a bunch of actors and unit came together. Usually, when I do something I am always in disbelief because my focus is constantly on the next thing. It is always very overwhelming when people like it and you can feel it when people really like it,” the actor told mid-day.com while talking about how the show manages to engage the audience even after three seasons.
Sikandar plays Daulat in Ram Madhvani’s crime thriller series ‘Aarya’. He is the right hand of Aarya’s father Zorawar. Reflecting on his journey playing Daulat, the actor shares, “If I was offered any other role, I would still choose Daulat. There was something about this character that drew me to him. His silence, his love for Aarya, his social strata that is so different from the family he works for, the moral dilemma he goes through because he is loyal a he has a lot of integrity and maybe he was repaying the debt to Zorawar by doing this. In the end of season 1, you realise that he gives up Zorawar. Ram Madhvani was making it and for an actor that is so special. It was pretty much a no-brainer."
