Babli Bouncer actor Abhishek Bajaj on returning to television to play a superstar in Jubilee Talkies

Abhishek Bajaj
It has been almost six years since Abhishek Bajaj featured in the television show, Bitti Business Wali (2018). The actor has been busy with films after making his debut with Student of the Year 2 (2019), followed by Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui (2021) and Madhur Bhandarkar’s Babli Bouncer (2022). While he doesn’t like being referred to as a TV actor, Bajaj has no qualms starring in a daily soap provided it is a “different role from his previous characters”. “The story of Jubilee Talkies intrigued me. After the narration, I found the concept and my role unconventional,” says the actor, who plays a superstar in the TV show.
“It’s an intense love story of a superstar and a common girl. The best part is that it is a shot like a film,” shares Bajaj, who in the past refused his share of daily soaps owing to lacklustre and conventional characters. “The shows I turned down were conventional, centred around kitchen politics and saas-bahu dramas. I want people to evolve. I want to offer viewers a different and a dream-like world,” he says, adding that in the last five years, he has refused over 80 TV shows.
