From Dreams to Stardom: Bharat Ahlawat’s journey from modelling to playing lead in Shemaroo Umang’s ‘Chaahenge Tumhe Itnaa’

Many actors have inspiring journeys, and some of these stories are especially motivating for aspiring actors. Bharat Ahlawat, aka Siddharth from Shemaroo Umang’s popular show ‘Chaahenge Tumhe Itnaa,’ recently shared his story of a young boy with a dream of becoming an actor. Starting from shooting for small brands to landing his big break with Ekta Kapoor on Shemaroo Umang, Bharat Ahlawat’s journey is a testament to hard work and self-reliance.

Bharat’s journey began with modelling, a field he initially approached with caution. Reflecting on his early passion for the camera, he said, “Becoming an actor has been my childhood dream. I have loved the camera since I was in school. I used to Google pictures with different expressions and poses and tried to copy them, taking photos of myself. Later, when I started modelling, I did reference shoots for a year. Initially, I didn’t want to pursue modelling, but I wanted to start things on my own without my parents’ support. After a year, I began receiving offers from big brands.”

Encouraged by his success in modelling, Bharat decided to pursue his true passion—acting. However, the journey was not straightforward. “I had no clue how to give auditions or what they teach you in acting workshops before coming to Mumbai. I started everything after COVID. Initially, I encountered many challenges. But over time, you learn about Mumbai and how to tackle things. It’s a slow process and all about hard work, patience and luck. It took me four years to get my first big project as a lead and I couldn’t have imagined anything better than the ‘Chaahenge Tumhe Itnaa’ show as my big break. The character of Siddharth is a die-hard lover who can fight the world for his love. He is someone who will be by his partners side in thick and thin.” Bharat explained.

In the upcoming episodes, tensions escalate as Sid finds himself repeatedly coming to Aashi’s rescue, causing friction between them and Amrita. Kunal’s manipulative behaviour worsens, forcing Aashi to cook chicken against her beliefs, which sparks a confrontation with Dadi. Sid steps in to protect Aashi, taking the blame and admitting his feelings for her, but she rejects his help, feeling betrayed by his actions. Kunal’s harassment intensifies as he forces Aashi to eat chicken, leaving her devastated and vulnerable. The drama unfolds with emotional confrontations and strained relationships, setting the stage for intense developments in the storyline.

Stay tuned to watch ‘Chaahenge Tumhe Itnaa’ every Monday-Saturday at 9:00 pm only on Shemaroo Umang.
