Nakul Sahdev and Chhavi Pandey in Yeh Hai Aashiqui

For Nakul, this will be his second story of Yeh Hai Aashiqui with BBC, as he was part of the tennis related story earlier with Kaizeen Daruvalla.

Actress Chhavi Pandey of Ek Boond Ishq fame will play the young girl who would join the music academy to learn music.

Life will at once turn into a bed of roses for Drishti (Chhavi), when she will join the music academy, only to fall in love with her guitar teacher. This relationship between the teacher and student will be unique in all ways as the teacher, essayed by Nakul will be young, smart and brilliant but at the same time will be blind.
We hear that a special 3-day workshop was conducted by BBC Worldwide with a blind guitarist and Nakul, at the BBC office. This was a good learning curve for Nakul to adapt playing a blind guy and understand the character better.

When contacted, Nakul told us, “It is a privilege to work with the BBC team again for Yeh Hai Aashiqui. This is a very interesting story, wherein I play the role of a blind guitarist. I was provided a three day workshop with a blind guitarist so that I get to learn all the nuances. In fact, I had earlier played a blind boy for a short play. And now to repeat the feat and play a blind grown-up guy was indeed a challenge.”

We tried getting through to Chhavi, but we could not get in touch with her.

This episodic love tale will air on Bindass this Sunday, 2 November.
