Siddhant joins Shaitani Rasmein

Siddhant Issar, son of renowned actor and villain Puneet Issar, is set to portray the character of Maalikin in Star Bharat’s show Shaitani Rasmein. Says Siddhant, “I manifested this opportunity for years. I have a wardrobe filled with long black clothes and silver jewelry because I’ve always been drawn to devilish characters. I am a fan of series like Lucifer and The Witcher, and had been waiting for something like this. When I got the call, I couldn’t believe it fell into my lap. It’s a never-before-seen portrayal on Indian television. My father, Puneet Issar, was the first Duryodhan on Indian TV, and I will be the first Shaitaan. My dad always told me that playing a negative role would unexpectedly polish my skills.”

He adds, “Life comes a full circle. If the universe has given me the chance to live my dream, then with Maalik, I aim to present audiences with the most charismatic, charming, smart, stylish, and suave villain Indian screens have ever seen. Shaitani Rasmein is a blessing for me, and working with Nikhil sir is literally a dream.”
