Surprises await as Anupria Goenka reprises her role in Criminal Justice Season: Behind Closed Doors

Anupria Goenka's career at this point is a breeding ground of super gripping projects and one of these is soon to hit the digital scene. Ending the year on a thrilling note, Goenka is going to be seen reprising her role as Nikhat Hussain (a lawyer) in Criminal Justice: Behind Closed Doors and its trailer dropped recently.

 

One of India's most loved crime-thrillers is returning with Anupria's character evolving into an advocate, who's sure of her footing. The versatile actor remarks that she feels amazing about her role making it to Season 2 and that it gave her the opportunity to revisit a character she cherishes. Told from a woman's perspective, the upcoming season chronicles a murder allegation against an eminent lawyer's wife. An open-and-shut case on its surface, there's more to crime than meets eye and the defence (mounted by advocates Madhav Mishra and Nikhat Hussain played by Pankaj Tripathi and Anupria Goenka) is tasked with proving the innocence of an indefensible suspect.

 

Anupria says, "I remember after the success of Criminal Justice, people hounded me with the question - 'When is Season 2 coming?' So here we are, waiting to present to you a side of the world of law and crime you've never experienced before. In the first season, I was an assistant to the lawyer and in this season, I have sort of found my feet in the profession. Getting back to being Nikhat felt like coming home. Everything that I had done to prep for the role just came back to me. I'm stoked about its streaming."

 

Based on Criminal Justice by Peter Moffat, adapted for India by Shridhar Raghavan, the Season 1 revolved around a man’s one-night stand turning into a nightmare when he woke up the next day covered in blood. He doesn’t remember anything from the previous night and all evidence is against him. After the show gained popularity, it was announced that the series has been renewed for the second season in February 2020 and its trailer dropped recently.

Actor Karan Pahwa has put on 15 kgs weight for a self-experiment.

Actor Karan Pahwa who was last seen in star plus show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai as Anmol. Anmol (Karan) had a very cute and chocolatey look and before that we had seen him in Balika Vadhu in Bald look as Kundan (for this character also he clean shaved his hair).

 

Everyone has utilities this lockdown time in maintaining their healthy life style and workout, on the other hand Karan has done something different; he has given this 6 month for transforming and also putting on 15 kg for this experimental look.

 

 Karan says “In the TV industry I am always known for my variation most of the casting directors and producer known me so I want to show them I am so much capable for such character too. Honestly As all the salons were shut I slowly noticed that my beard and moustache have grown which was giving me a Punjabi look and Islamic boy. I decided to take things forward, I started working on my weight I have put on 15 kgs. Not everyone was happy about my weight as my parents and friends told me that it might create problems for me in the future to get projects. I also stopped posting on social media so that my look doesn’t reveal.

 

People have really appreciated my efforts. This journey was not easy as growing the right amount of beard and moustache and gaining weight for this look. Choosing the right location and costume for the shoot was also a big task. The most important things are that I have taken all this effort for self-experiment there was no role offered to me. Certainly, if in future, I am offered such role, I will make sure I do complete justice to the character.

 

 

 

As we know that versatility is a part of actor’s life. Karan after the photoshoot have again started working on his body and cutting down weight to come back to his original look now. This was kind of experiment that he has done with his looks. If he will be offered such role, he will nail it.

 

On this he further adds ‘I have started working out to come back to my previous looks. As being healthy is very important for everyone in today’s life style, especially us (smile).
