The viewers of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai have accepted and adored Jay Soni’s portrayal of Abhinav. After two significant leaps, this Rajan Shahi programme, which has been successful for fourteen years, underwent significant adjustments. The actor exclaims, “I’m enjoying portraying the kind and pleasant nature of Abhinav,” pleased with the reception. He is generous. You don’t often see folks like him. He inspires me with the way he approaches every circumstance in a really positive way. Also, he seems like a really wonderful guy to me. He finds satisfaction in the slightest things, and life is pretty simple for him. With Abhir and Akshara, Abhinav lives in a little universe. Touchwood, the response has been excellent thus far. I don’t give it much thought, though, and all I focus on is playing the part well.”
Jay is really appreciative of the support the audience has shown him and the programme. “It’s overwhelming how they accepted Abhinav. I receive a tonne of messages, and many people have written to me to say that the character inspires them to think that decent people exist in the world and that it is still a lovely place. I’m overjoyed that I can spread happiness and create tranquilly in other people’s life. I’d like to thank you once again and promise to continue entertaining and giving it my all while doing my absolute best to play Abhinav. Keep watching Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai to observe all the great twists and turns because nothing you expect will ever happen (laughs).”
Jay Soni:
In most comedic parts, Jay seems at ease. “Since I look like that, I’m fantastic at playing totally at ease in lighthearted roles, but I can also portray dark undertones effectively. I aspire to be a chameleon-like actor who can blend in wherever. I constantly try to make each character credible, and like other actors, I like to play a variety of characters. But unlike Jay Soni, I feel the need to take action. I want to play tough roles, be a bad boy, and do whatever I can to push myself to the maximum.”
“Off-screen dynamics with Harshad and Pranali are extremely nice and professional,” he continues. Referring to his interactions with the actors who play Abhimanyu and Akshara, respectively, Harshad Chopda and Pranali Rathod. They put forth a lot of effort and work well together, he continues. Jay praises Rajan Shahi and says, “It’s great to be able to work with Rajan sir and the crew and land shows and roles like this. Working with Rajan Shahi is a fantastic experience.” he claims.
You have always remained slim, even in an era when having a fit, muscled figure is fashionable. “I don’t eat junk food, so I could keep up this appearance. I make an effort to eat “Ghar ka Khaana,” take care of a few other things, engage in regular exercise, and only consume healthy food. Additionally, I stop eating after 7:30 o’clock,” he says.
Jay is a contented husband. In 2017, the actor married Pooja Shah in an arranged union. “Yes, I’m happily married, and the nicest part of it is having a soul mate and a partner with whom you can be authentic and not have to put on a show. You feel so whole because of this link. Even though Valentine’s Day is almost approaching and I adore Pooja, I don’t really believe in holidays like that. Every day is V-Day for me. I won’t wait till Valentine’s Day to express my affection if I want to,” he concludes.
