Ritvik Sahore reveals how he managed to get into the skin of his character in Amazon miniTV’s Jamnapaar
Mumbai, 3rd June 2024: Amazon miniTV, Amazon’s free video streaming service, recently released the highly anticipated youth aspirational drama, Jamnapaar. This heartwarming series delves into the life of Shantanu Bansal, aka Shanky, a young man who hails from East Delhi. Shanky finds himself torn between his roots in Jamnapaar and his ambition for a successful corporate career in South Delhi. But along his journey, he learns that true happiness stems from embracing one’s roots and cherishing bonds that bring one closer to their loved ones. Starring Ritvik Sahore, Raghu Ram, Varun Badola, Srishti Ganguli Rindani, and Ankita Sahigal in pivotal roles, the series has been basking in praise galore from critics and audiences alike.
Ritvik Sahore, who essays the role of Shantanu “Shanky” Bansal in the series, shared insights about his character, saying, “Shanky is your typical teenager, characterized by a sense of know-it-all attitude and an aversion to others’ opinions. Despite his father’s wish for him to pursue a certain career path, Shanky, a highly intelligent student, is determined to follow his own aspirations. He is extremely driven by his ambitions and holds utmost confidence in his abilities. Shanky is someone who can go to great lengths to turn his dreams into reality.”
Shedding some light on his preparation to essay the role of a CA aspirant, Ritvik added, “Fortunately, I have grown up with a few CA friends. Besides, the writers of the show were also CA aspirants at one point in time, and they also belonged to Jamnapaar. So, their valuable insights really helped me understand a CA student’s psyche and embody the character authentically on screen. Funnily, it also made me realize that I could have never become a CA in real life. Having said that, I am beyond grateful to experience the CA life through Shanky.”
Jamnapaar is now streaming exclusively on Amazon miniTV for free within Amazon’s shopping app, on Prime Video, Fire TV, Smart TVs, or download the app from Play Store.
