Opposite poles attract

Rajeev Siddhartha is essaying the role of Advait Singhania, a heartthrob CEO, in Amazon miniTV rom-com series Badi Heroine Banti Hai. About his character, he says, “I’m portraying a character who owns a fashion house. He has a brother, and his father has recently passed away. He has had a sort of disciplined upbringing and did not receive much love while growing up, which has made him the man he is today. He is very guarded, and closed to any kind of emotion and affection from anyone. For him, it is just his work and business. The only time you see him emotionally invested is when it comes to his younger brother, as he is very fond of him. He is a strict businessman with unwavering dedication to his goals. In his office, a minor mistake could lead to immediate firing and everyone harbours a certain fear of him. He is very much cut and dry that way.”

He further stated how his love interest, Kajal, changes the dynamics and helps transform his character. He added, “Eventually, thanks to Kajal we can see a change in Advait’s character arc. Two people who are opposite come together in this beautiful story.”
