Desi soaps finally give men the limelight Fri, Apr 9 2021 10:06 IST | 13 Views Vijayendra Kumeria.. Image Source: IANS Mumbai, April 9 : Gone are the days when male actors had nothing substantial to contribute to a story on television soaps. TV has traditionally been an actress' medium, and till not long ago the men before the camera were little more than props, as 'saas' and 'bahu' squared up. A slew of new shows is changing that equation. To begin with, there is "Aapki Nazron Ne Samjha", where actor Vijayendra Kumeria plays a visually impaired photographer. "Hero: Gayab Mode On" is woven around Abhishek Nigam's character, who is on a quest to find his father. "Tera Yaar Hoon Main", departing from saas-bahu cliches, is for a change about a father and son. "Amma Ke Babu Ki Baby" has Karan Khanna playing a man trying to balance life between his mother and wife.
