Breaking gender stereotypes

Colors’ show Roop – Mard Ka Naya Swaroop has struck a chord with the viewers with the story of an 8-year-old boy Roop who questions the patriarchal beliefs in the society. The show will soon witness a 12-year leap highlighting a new phase in Roop’s life. Shashank Vyas, who is known for his character Jagya from Balika Vadhu, will be seen as grown up Roop. 

Commenting about his character, Shashank Vyas says, "I always choose to play a role that is distinctive and has an impact. The show’s bold and hard-hitting concept is what got me to take it up. Gender stereotypes need to be spoken about in order to bring a change and I'm honoured that Colors and Rashmi Sharma Telefilms have given me this opportunity.”
