‘Udne Ki Aasha gave me a high’: Kanwar Dhillon

Kanwar Dhillon, who plays Sachin in the popular Star Plus show Udne Ki Aasha, opens up about his journey on the show, collaboration with producer-director Rahul Tewary and his personal views on name and fame.

For Kanwar, Udne Ki Aasha is more than just another TV show — it’s a defining moment in his career. “I had said it right from the beginning, during the launch, that this would be the best show of my career. I still stand by it. You don’t get to play such layered characters on Indian television very often. With Sachin, I’ve experienced every shade—comedy, action, emotional depth. It’s been the most creatively satisfying role so far, and it will always be the closest to my heart,” he said.

Despite his soaring popularity, Kanwar remains refreshingly humble. “Fame is a by-product of the work we do—it’s not the goal. I’ve seen both sides of the coin, and that’s what keeps me grounded. I’ve always been very careful with my choices, and I’m self-critical about the work I do,” he says.
