I relate to my role in Kyaa Hua Tera Vaada: Pawan Shankar

Actor Pawan Shankar, who started his career with 'Siddhant', will be seen in Ekta Kapoor's relationship drama Kyaa Hua Tera Vaada. The TV star says playing a father-of-two in the soap was a cakewalk for him. The 37-year-old actor says being married in real life helped him understand the intricacies of the character in the show, which tracks the story of a married couple with three children.

Talking to PTI, Pawan Shankar said, "I could relate to the character because being married in real life I also undergo through such situations. The show traces the love and togetherness in a typical Indian married couple, whose time and attention for each other survives the complexities and demands of life's problems."

Initially, Shankar was skeptical to be a part of the show because of its woman-centric appeal. Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin fame Mona Singh plays his reel wife in the show, which will air on Sony channel from January 30. Pawan said, "Initially I was not very keen on playing a married man onscreen."

The actor added, “But this show is different from the other saas bahu sagas that Ekta used to produce. Kyaa Hua Tera Vaada is a simple serial with loads of real life issues in it. After seeing the promo, my friends called up and said whether I was narrating their story on-screen. Audience don't take interest in shows which they can not relate to."
