On the recent episode of Yeh Ladki Pagal Hai, our Confused Kudi Pavni Mehrotra interviewed the talented and adorable Shantanu Maheshwari. Shantanu is a well-known actor, dancer, host and choreographer. He has become popular as a ‘lover boy’ after he recently played the role of Afsaan in the movie Gangubai Kathiawadi and before that, Swayam Shekhawat in popular TV series Dil Dosti Dance (D3). This episode of Yeh Ladki Pagal Hai is filled with not only laughter, fun, and dancing but, we also get to see a side of Shantanu Maheshwari which gives us a vibe that he is very nice, genuine, down-to-earth and relatable, Like, you know, he’s just one of us!
Shantanu was so relatable and candid and down-to-earth throughout the episode, that we fell fast and hard for him!
Here are five times Shantanu Maheshwari had us falling hard for him!
1. He is genuine
At the beginning of the episode, when Shantanu Maheshwari sat on the sofa, he called it the ‘mardulla’ sofa. This term shows that he is extremely real and doesn’t filter his actual self. After all, haven’t we all grown up using these words which aren’t so popular or known to everyone else, so we end up explaining them? We tend to give them up to seem more sophisticated but Shantanu clearly hasn’t. I swear this is definitely something that I can picture my grandmother saying. Find out what it means in the episode.
2. When he spoke of his struggle to achieve success
Shantanu Maheshwari was entirely honest about the rejections that he faced at the beginning of his career. He admitted that he had no expectations to be selected to play the role of Afsaan but it was his talent that helped him. After all, he has worked hard for 11 years to reach where he is now. We all have faced similar rejections in our life that made it seem like our dreams were totally out of reach, haven’t we?
3. His ‘Gareebi Mein Bhi Stylish’ waali baat!
When Pavni asked Shantanu Maheshwari about the hairstyles that he prefers, his response was shocking, he confessed to being a big fan of ponies. He further explained that this is because, on the days when he didn’t have enough money for a decent haircut, a pony was his go-to choice. We all have, at some point experienced these situations where we have had to do the best with what we got, don’t we?
4. His love for Patiala Pegs!
While trying to re-create the popular scene from the song ‘Meri Jaan’ with him, Pavni makes them both a drink and Shanthanu Maheshwari, like so many of us makes it clear that he prefers a Patiala peg instead of this. Come on, we all love a Patiala peg too, don’t we?
5. His love for friendly banter
Throughout the episode, Shantanu Maheshwari reminds us so much of our guy friends or brothers who like to joke around and pull our legs, every chance they get. Shantanu does the same with Pavni. This ends up making the episode so much more fun and entertaining. Who doesn’t love such a chill guy, huh?
