If you’ve been looking for a fresh, bold, and truly meaningful show to binge on, COLORS’ ‘Meri Bhavya Life’ is one you absolutely cannot miss. It’s not just another love story—it’s a powerful narrative that flips the script on conventional beauty standards and societal expectations. At the heart of it all? A confident, plus-size woman and a fitness-obsessed man who unknowingly challenge each other’s realities.

And guess what? Actor Karan Vohra, who plays the layered and complex Rishank, is nothing like his character in real life. But that’s exactly why he said yes to the role.

Let’s dive into why this show—and Karan’s journey—deserve your full attention.

A Story That Smashes Stereotypes

Meri Bhavya Life isn’t your regular TV drama where the heroine is transformed into a size-zero “ideal woman” to win hearts. Nope! Bhavya, played beautifully by Prisha Dhatwalia, is a plus-size architect who owns her curves and confidence. The only thing that needs a makeover in this story is society’s narrow mindset.

Karan Vohra, who steps into the shoes of Rishank—her polar opposite—shares, “She’s everything he’s not, and that makes her presence unsettling… in the best way.”

Meet Rishank—Flawed, Privileged, and Real

In our chat, Karan got candid about his character:
“Rishank is pampered, image-conscious, and emotionally immature. He thinks abs equal self-worth and that people should look a certain way to be respected. Playing someone like him was both uncomfortable and exciting.”

Karan reveals that though he himself is into fitness, the mindset of Rishank was a big stretch—and that’s what made it artistically satisfying. “He hides behind his perfect appearance, and digging into that psychology made the process so much more than just physical prep.”

Not Just Acting—It Was A Transformation

To prepare, Karan didn’t just hit the gym harder—he studied. “I read up on narcissism and people who are obsessed with control through appearances. It was important to understand why Rishank behaves the way he does.”

He even adapted his expressions, tone, and body language to match Rishank’s vibes. “It’s about wearing the character like a second skin,” he said.

Why This Show Feels Different

Karan is no stranger to TV dramas, but this show hit different for him. “There’s a different kind of energy here. The promo responses, the DMs, the buzz—it’s overwhelming in the best way. I feel proud to be part of something so relevant.”

He praised COLORS for backing bold, emotionally resonant storytelling. “They’ve always stood for narratives that matter. This time, they’re challenging body shaming and the obsession with outer beauty—and I’m so glad to be a part of that.”

Shooting in Bhopal: A Silent Character in the Story

Karan also shared how Bhopal itself became a big part of the storytelling. “The vibe of the city grounded me. It helped me find emotional depth, especially during those early morning shoots near the lakes.

On-Screen Chemistry That Feels Real

Speaking of co-stars, Karan had nothing but praise. “Kruttika Desai, Hiten Tejwani, and Iqbal Azad are legends. I’ve learned so much just by watching them. And Prisha? She’s fresh, raw, and incredibly committed. We’ve built great chemistry off-screen, and I think audiences will feel it onscreen too.”

The Heart of the Show: A Message That Matters

For Karan, the theme is the show’s true soul. “It’s not just entertainment—it’s impact. We’re talking about things we should’ve addressed years ago. It’s time we normalize all body types and question the ridiculous standards we’ve grown up around.”

He adds, “Rishank may trigger you at first, but that’s the point. He represents what needs to change.”
