Kay Kay Menon's Wife & Bambai Meri Jaan Co-Star Nivedita Says She Wanted To Impress Him On Sets

Bambai Meri Jaan takes viewers on a frantic, realistic, and engrossing journey through the rough streets of a fictionalized 1970s Bambai. Avinash Tiwary, Kay Kay Menon, Kritika Kamra, Amyra Dastur, and Nivedita Bhattacharya are a few of the actors who appear in it.

As many people are aware, Kay Kay and Nivedita are happily married and are also now each other's co-stars.

Nivedita Bhattacharya, a familiar figure on television, spoke about working alongside her husband and made a joke about wanting to impress him at the trailer launch.

Lauding Kay Kay, she said, ¡°Having him as a co-actor was a bonus. We worked together a really long time back. It was great, especially to have an actor who is so invested in the story, not just in his character but in a larger picture.¡±

She added according to Indianexpress.com, ¡°And because Kay Kay was here, I was also trying to impress him a bit. Him and Shujaat (director Shujaat Saudagar), who were a team. But it was a great time.¡±

The actor who portrays her son in the drama, Avinash, said that it was likely not just Nivedita who was attempting to win over the actor. Kaykay took the microphone and requested them to discuss the show after becoming embarrassed by his team's compliments to him.

Kay Kay Menon Talks About His Cop Character

The plot, which is set in the post-independence era, follows the life and career of a young man named Dara Kadri (Avinash Tiwary), who is caught between carrying on his father's heritage of law enforcement (Menon) and forging his own path into organized crime.

"My character Ismail Kadri is multi-layered and complex. He is an honest cop and a doting father who isn¡¯t perfect. On one hand, he is deeply committed to cleaning the city of Bambai of all crime, on the other, to save his family, he is forced to become a pawn to the city¡¯s crime syndicate," the actor said.

Menon said his approach to acting is simple: "I normally play people, I don't play roles."

"When I'm told to play the role of a cop, it was played in a certain way in earlier times. No two persons are the same, there can be a limited number of roles, like there can be 25,000 roles of cops, professors, or lawyers, but each person is different. I tend to play the person more than the role. So, the role of Rakesh Maria (from 'Black Friday') is different from Ismail Kadri (in 'Bambai Meri Jaan')...,"
