Young creator Ishika Shahi is known for making engaging digital shows like Double Trouble and Actors Roundtable for Director’s Kut Productions’ official YouTube channel. She is all set to launch a new web series titled ‘Jabb Zodiacs Met’. The new series has popular actor Gaurav Khanna as the Sutradhar.
Gaurav has recently won Bigg Boss. Sharing more on his role as a narrator for the series Gaurav says, ”Being the narrator of this new series, ‘Jabb Zodiacs Met’ by DKP, has been really good. I did this before entering Bigg Boss. It was a two-three hour thing where I dubbed for the whole series of 12 episodes. I am the voice of this series and it was a lovely experience working with a new-age storyteller like Ishika Shahi. She got the best training under her father Rajan Shahi. He has been one of the most esteemed storytellers in our television. She comes from a pedigree; her mother (Pearl Grey) has also been a very good story writer, a creative, and a channel head in the past. I’m very happy to work with new-age storytellers.It was lovely experimenting because I always try to do something different from my earlier shows, so I wanted to get into voicing. As an actor, I feel it’s a very challenging task to emote without showing your face. I’m happy that Ishika, Rajan sir, and Pearl ma’am have loved my work and now it’s up to the viewer to watch the series.”
When asked about the name of the series which has created quite a buzz Gaurav says,”The title of the series is really catchy, and the whole idea is very unique. Ishika wanted to tell a story about how different zodiacs and temperaments come together, how people react differently, and the compatibility scores between them. It’s new-age storytelling that Gen Z, new-age people, and even mature audiences will like.”We all know how Gaurav’s character in Anupamaa created a huge fandom and wherever he goes people still recognise him as Anuj and he gets lot of love from the fans. Sharing more on his association with DKP he says ,”Working with DKP again, even for a short stint of a few hours, was very heartwarming. It was like coming back home in a new way. DKP is known for television, but Ishika Shahi has taken a new route with this storytelling. I’m happy Ishika chose me as the voice of her series. Rajan sir told me that right from the start she said, “We want GK for this and we want his voice”. I’m lucky and happy they chose me. DKP feels like home; whenever they want me for something that interests me, I will come back. Until then, I’m happy doing other things, and they are happy for the success coming my way.”
