Priyamvada Kant on Tenali Rama completing 100 episodes

Actor Priyamvada Kant, who essays the lead role in the SAB TV show Tenali Rama, has been getting a great feedback for her character. People have been giving her amazing compliments and there are a few that have really made the actor happy. "The best compliment would be someone said that I look like Kriti Sanon. Also, I am told that my comic timing is as amazing as Juhi Chawla’s. She is the prettiest actor and comedian who we have and I loved getting this compliment," she says.

Ask her how much can she relate to Sharda, and she says, “Sharda is a very relatable character because she is an extremely happy and bubbly person and a very loving wife. She cares for her family and is very supportive towards them. I think every husband and Saas would want a girl like Sharda. I really enjoy playing this character.”


Her show has surely become a favourite with the audience. “The show has morals as well as comedy. That's what really worked with the masses. People often write to me about how much they love the show. They even give us suggestions that we can incorporate,” she says.

In fact, the show recently completed 100 episodes. “It feels great. Since the show has started, people are really loving it and the TRP also went up this week. People are giving us so much love, it’s almost overwhelming,” she says.

Ranbir Kapoor’s inclusion in the TIME 100 Most Influential People list for 2026 places him in a rare group of Indian actors who have featured over the years. While the list spans global figures across industries, representation from Indian cinema has remained limited, with only a handful of actors making the cut at key moments of international visibility. Kapoor now joins that short list, adding a new chapter to how such influence is being defined.
