"Although Virendra Oberoi is a rich hotelier he is a very grounded person who has struggled and worked hard to reach where he is today. That is why he knows the value of life and is extremely humble and polite to every person no matter what the situation is. To be honest, this character is quite unlike me but for someone who has always enjoyed playing varied characters, I am really enthused to essay this role. I am someone who loves to joke around, be happy, and laugh out loud, but for this character, I have to remind myself every day that I need to stay calm, speak softly to maintain the onscreen character. However, I am extremely glad to be a part of this show," Uday said in a statement.

'Bhagya Lakshmi' airs on Zee TV. (ANI)
