Sameer Dharmadhikari in Jhansi Ki Rani – His Portrayal

Jhansi ki Rani Lakshmibai is a popular drama that was aired on Zee Network. Sameer Dharmadhikari was assigned the role of Gangadhar Rao, the husband of the legendary woman warrior Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi. Although the show was mainly about the life and times of the warrior princess; Sameer Dharmadhikari had a crucial role to play too. His character Gangadhar Rao was very difficult for him to portray, according to an interview that the actor gave. The actor had to go through some serious lessons in classical Hindi so that he could imitate the royal accent well.
