Sony SAB's Hastinapur Ke Veer is captivating audiences with the lesser-known childhood stories of the Pandavas and Kauravas, highlighting the values and lessons that shaped their destinies. One such bond is that of Guru Dronacharya (Jiten Lalwani) and young Arjun (Urva Savaliya), a relationship built on discipline, trust and unwavering guidance that eventually transforms Arjun into one of history's greatest archers.
While their on-screen equation is rooted in the traditional guru-shishya dynamic, off-screen, Jiten and Urva share a warm and easy camaraderie that has naturally strengthened their performances. Whether it is rehearsing scenes together, discussing archery postures, or simply chatting between takes, Jiten has embraced the role of a mentor even beyond the camera, helping Urva feel confident while bringing Arjun's journey to life.
Talking about his bond Jiten Lalwani shared, “Urva is an incredibly sincere and hardworking child. His curiosity and eagerness to learn are much like how Arjun is described in our scriptures. I never feel like I'm working with a child because of the maturity he brings to the set. Even when the cameras aren't rolling, he asks thoughtful questions, pays attention to every little detail and is constantly trying to improve. At the same time, we also have fun moments, we joke around, chat about random things and keep the atmosphere light between takes. Watching someone so young approach his craft with such dedication is truly inspiring and I genuinely enjoy being around him. I hope the warmth and trust we've built off screen shines through our journey as Dronacharya and Arjun on screen as well.”
