Mumbai: Sikander Kher says his character in "Aarya" is related to his personality and that made him eager to play the part.

The actor stars alongside Sushmita Sen, Chandrachur Singh, Namit Das and Manish Chaudhary in the Disney+Hotstar Specials from director Ram Madhvani.

Photo The series, an official adaptation of popular Dutch crime-drama "Penoza", revolves around Aarya Sareen, a happily married woman whose world turns upside down when her husband is shot.

She gets to know that he may have been involved in an illegal drug racket which now threatens her family.

Sikander is essaying the role of Daulat, a trusted aide of Sushmita's Aarya in the show.

Photo"Daulat is very protective about Aarya's character and is incredibly loyal to the family - you could say he is almost like the foot soldier of the family.

"He stays by her side and tries to protect her from whatever comes her way - in a way, this character, Daulat is different from my real-life personality and I wanted to get every shot to be taken well and I was ready to go back as many times possible in front of the camera to get it right," the actor said in a statement.

"Aarya" starts streaming on Disney+ Hotstar VIP from today.
