Last seen in Rashmi Sharma Telefilms’ blockbuster show, Saath Nibhana Saathiya, good-looking actor Karan Khandelwal has now signed a new show, which is all set to go on air on &TV. The actor has been roped in to play the parallel lead in the upcoming soap, titled Siddhivinayak. Karan will play the antagonist in the show and his character will be called Rajbir Kundra. Rajbir is an aspiring actor who is soon going to be launched by his uncle who is the father of the male lead.

Talking about his character, Karan says, “Well, I play a character which is out and out negative. In fact, whatever ill happens in Vinayak’s life is only because of Rajbir and he does it primarily because of destiny turning its back on him because of Vinayak. The show launches on 26 October and I hope the audience loves to hate me.”

Starring Nitin Goswami and Neha Saxena in the lead roles, Siddhivinayak is produced by Prashant Bhatt for Studio B&M.
