Meet the new Bhimrao Ambedkar and Ramabai

With its disruptive and compelling storyline and talented cast, &TV’s Ek Mahanayak Dr B.R. Ambedkar has rapidly climbed the popularity charts.

Starting July 20, the storyline will be moving into a new phase with Atharva Karve roped in to play young Bhimrao Ambedkar and Shravani Abhang as Ramabai Ambedkar.

Atharva says, “It is an honour to be chosen to play a character of an inspiring leader of all times, Dr B.R. Ambedkar. I always wanted to essay this character, and it is a dream come true for me. Babasaheb’s life and legacy have been an inspiration for many. His list of talents and accomplishments is incomparable—a great thinker, a leader, a social reformer, a thorough nationalist and economist and most importantly, the founding father of the Constitution of India.”

About her role as Ramabai Ambedkar, Shravani Abhang comments, “It is a delightful experience to play this powerful character. Ramabai Bhimrao Ambedkar has been one of the greatest inspirations for the doyen of social justice, Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar. There is very limited information on Ramabai. Therefore, through the medium of this show, the audience will get to know much more about her and the role she played in Babasaheb’s life. Ramabai Ambedkar is one of those women who silently stood resolute in rendering support to Babasaheb.”
