#NewEntry: Alan Kapoor to play the antagonist in Pinjara Khubsurti Ka

Actor Alan Kapoor, who was last seen in Pyaar Ki Luka Chuppi, which ended in September last year, is all set to join the cast of Saurabh Tewari’s Pinjara Khubsurti Ka. The show features Riya Sharma and Saahil Uppal as the lead couple. As reported by us earlier, the show went in for a time leap of 22 years, paving way for a reincarnation track. We had also reported that Madhuri Sanjeev and Sanjay Swaraj would play Saahil’s mother and Riya’s father respectively.We have now learnt that Alan has been signed to play the antagonist on the show. He has already commenced the shoot.
The actor tells us, “I play Ishaan, a rich spoilt brat. He studies in the same college as Mayura (Riya). He is strong-headed and always does what he wants to without thinking twice.”
Alan is excited about playing a negative character on the small screen. He admits that he was a bit apprehensive in the beginning, but decided to take it up as a challenge. “I have always played positive parts and this is the first time that I am playing a quintessential negative character. Before this, I had played a criminal in a three-episode story in a show. When this offer came my way, I wasn’t sure about taking it up. But I also wanted to explore more shades as an artiste. So, I asked my followers on social media and encouraged by the response I got from them, I accepted this part,” he shares.
Alan is returning to TV after nine months. He went back to his hometown, Agra, after Pyaar Ki Luka Chuppi wrapped up. He says, “After spending quality time with my parents, I shot for a film, which has a Punjabi backdrop. It also features Rajpal Yadav and Hemant Pandey. It is a comedy with a social message. I was also busy travelling and exploring new places, something that I am very passionate about.”
