Mumbai:  Better known as ‘Anokhelal Saxena’ in the TV sitcom Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain, Actor Saanand Verma recently opened up about his latest project, “Vijay 69.” Reflecting on his character in the film, Verma shared how the role allowed him to relive his journalism days.

In a statement, he shared, “I really wanted to be part of this project because the character is a journalist, and I’ve actually been a journalist in my earlier days. I started in print journalism before moving into electronic media, but the role was more entertainment-focused than real journalism. I always wanted to be a journalist like Arnab Goswami, though I didn’t quite end up like him. So, playing a journalist in this film felt exciting and close to my heart.”

Saanand added, “The most challenging aspect of playing this role was reliving my journalism days. It’s not an easy profession. You have to be constantly alert and work under pressure, and this role demanded that I tap into that mindset.”

The actor further mentioned that “Vijay 69″’s core message is perseverance.

“Vijay 69 teaches us that nothing is impossible. If you’re passionate, determined, and work hard, you can achieve anything. Age is just a number. You are as youthful as you feel in your mind,” Verma added.

Verma is widely known for his performances in films like “Chhichhore” and “Apaharan”, as well as his iconic portrayal of Anokhelal Saxena in the TV show “Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain”.
