KANJ is the story of Kanya, the daughter of a professor
who marries into the family, chosen by her parents and the trials
and troubles she has to overcome in life.
Producer-director Bhatnagar said, "I am ecstatic that one
of my three babies, the youngest of the lot (the other two being
Musafir Hoon Yaaron and Yatra) Kabhi Aayi Na Judai,
my first daily soap has reached it’s 300th episode. Working
on a daily soap, with so many talented actors and an excellent crew,
just made the challenge an enjoyable experience. Kanya’s journey
through life has had it’s ups and downs, but the message we
are trying to convey is no sacrifice goes unnoticed. Every decision
and sacrifice Kanya makes she emerges a winner. It is the story
of every woman of this country, who puts her family before herself."
Talking about the show said Pooja Rawal, who plays Kanya said,
"Priya sacrifices her love and happiness for others. Her character
is so very similar to most Indian women who sacrifice a lot of their
happiness, wants, desires, for their home, husband, children. The
character of Kanya has evolved in the soap—from a young girl,
to a young bride, to a nervous and tortured wife to a supportive
friend and companion to Sidhartha. I have enjoyed playing shades
of these characters and it’s given me a chance to go through
a whole range of emotions. I have been very fortunate to play the
protagonist Kanya."
Prabhat Bhattacharya, who plays Dev said, "I enjoy playing
Dev, the pop singer. Though I’m not a good singer, I enjoy
music. As Dev, the songs that I sing reminds me of some of late
Kishore Kumar songs which are very close to my heart. Dev loves
Kanya and his only ambition in life is to win Kanya back. It’s
a role with no shades of grey."
Talking about his role, Nasir, who plays Sidhartha said, "It
is the story of Dev, Kanya and Sidhartha. For Kanya the choice is
tough—Dev, is the man she loved and married, and Sidhartha
is the man whom she is committed to, as he stood by her through
thick and thin. Sidhartha is a man of honour, commitment and strength.
He admires and falls in love with Priya for the support and encouragement
she has given him."
