Kanwar Dhillon hosts Jamashtami event, says it’s a beautiful opportunity

Actor Kanwar Dhillon, who plays the lead character in the show Udne Ki Aasha, is currently hosting a Janmashtami event on Star Plus. The actor says that he feels blessed to have got the opportunity. The event will air today, August 28 2024 to September 1, 2024, at 6:10 pm on Star Plus.

“I'm hosting and anchoring the entire Janmashtami event organized by Star Plus, featuring the entire Star Parivaar. It was a beautiful experience, and I’m deeply grateful to Star Plus and Fullscreen Media for placing their trust in me to shoulder the responsibility of hosting the event. This was my first solo hosting gig, and hosting has been something I’ve always wanted to do since the beginning of my career. I was just waiting for the right opportunity,” he says.

He adds, “With each passing show, people are discovering different sides of me and recognizing my versatility. In Udne Ki Aasha and my role as Sachin Deshmukh, audiences have seen me unleash my fun, energetic, and emotional sides. I think viewers are now connecting with various aspects of my character, not just Sachin Deshmukh. It’s gratifying to have my work recognized, and I’m thrilled to receive such great opportunities. I believe I did a good job because everyone was happy with the outcome. I sincerely hope to host more events in the future and, perhaps, even anchor a proper non-fiction show. I would be more than happy to take on that challenge.”

Janmashtami has always been a significant festival for him. “My thoughts on Janmashtami are closely tied to my childhood and growing-up years. In my locality, we used to prepare extensively for the dahi handi. I initially tried to participate in the human pyramid, but after a few falls, I stopped. However, I always cheered for my friends, and once the handi was broken, everyone would break into a celebratory dance and enjoy a good afternoon or evening. Janmashtami brings a lot of positivity and joy to those who celebrate it, and I think it’s a fantastic festival. This joy is also reflected in the Janmashtami celebration event we shot for Star Plus. It’s all about fun while staying true to the festival’s theme, and that’s what makes it so special,” he says.
