Jagriti - Ek Nayi Subah has recently taken a compelling 12-year leap, introducing fresh twists, unexpected surprises, and a new chapter in its gripping narrative. This time jump not only brings in intriguing new characters but also redefines the journeys of familiar faces who have captivated audiences since the show’s inception.
One of the most striking transformations is that of Kalikant Thakur (Aarya Babbar), who returns in a completely new avatar. His look has evolved dramatically, reflecting his growing stature and power. Now embracing a more sophisticated and contemporary appearance, he dons an elegant Jodhpuri suit, exuding authority and charisma. His greying hair and beard signify the passage of time and his rise to the position of a minister. Yet, beneath this refined exterior, Kalikant remains the same ruthless and cunning antagonist at heart.
Aarya Babbar said, “I’m really excited to bring this evolved version of Kalikant to the audience. The transition into a more sophisticated and authoritative avatar, complete with a Jodhpuri suit and a distinguished salt-pepper look, perfectly complements his journey into politics. While his appearance has changed, his essence remains the same—he is still as menacing and power-hungry as ever. This shift adds new layers to his personality, making him even more intriguing, and I can’t wait for viewers to see what’s in store!”
While Kalikant’s look transformation leaves the viewers surprised, it will be interesting for the viewers to watch how his hunger for control and manipulative nature will continue to define him, ensuring that his villainous reign is far from over.
