Jaane Anjaane Hum Mile, with Bharat Ahlawwat (Raghav) and Aayushi Khurrana (Reet) in lead, is keeping audiences hooked with its emotionally complex narrative.
The recent track of Raghav and Reet losing their newborn baby also touched an emotional chord with the audiences and viewers were very much moved and heartbroken.
Amidst the emotional upheaval, Raghav also is constantly dealing with tough relationships and responsibilities.
One of the most defining characteristics of his personality has been the continuous fight to balance his love for Reet with his responsibility to his family.
If he chooses to stand behind Reet or his family, someone will get hurt one way or another.In the current storyline when Sharda Bua (Jayati Bhatia) asks Reet for an apology and she doesn’t agree, Raghav again gets stuck between them and finally apologizes himself to bua to keep the peace.
According to Bharat while the character of Raghav has many layers, It is this fine balance of not making the character sound biased towards either side that makes Raghav such a nuanced and challenging character to play.Talking about his character Bharat Ahlawwat shares, “The tricky part is to find the right balance in Raghav, but that is what makes the character interesting and exciting as well.
One of the most difficult things about playing Raghav is the tightrope walk between his love for Reet and his duty towards his family.
He’s not one to hurt either side on purpose, but he often finds himself in situations where every choice has consequences.
In the current track, even when Raghav requests Reet to apologize to Bua and she refuses, he finds himself caught in yet another emotional dilemma.
As an actor I need to be very mindful of the small nuances in his emotions and reactions because even a slight shift in the performance can make it seem like he is leaning too much to one side."He added, "The trick is to make sure the audience understands what he’s feeling and why he does what he does, without judging him too harshly.
That’s what makes Raghav such a complex and interesting character to portray.”As per the current storyline, Raghav and Reet are still mourning their child but the viewers now know a shocking truth which is kept hidden from them.
Their baby is alive and has been kidnapped by Sharda Bua.
The suspense is building up for the viewers, who are waiting to see how the truth unfolds, how Reet and Raghav react to the news that their child is alive and what impact this will have on their relationships and the story going forward.
