Vikram Singh Chauhan on doing ‘Do Duniya Ek Dil’: When I heard the story I felt how relevant it is in the world we live in today

Television actor Vikram Singh Chauhan returns to television with new show, Do Duniya Ek Dil where he is seen playing the role of Shivaay, who believes technology can do good and builds his dreams around it.

However, a brutal digital scam takes away everything he has and leaves him completely devastated.

In an interview, Vikram opens up about essaying the role of a man whose faith in the digital world is shattered just when love enters his life from the very space he has walked away from.Speaking about the reason behind accepting the offer of Do Duniya Ek Dil, Vikran says, "What immediately stayed with me when I heard the story was how relevant it feels in the world we live in today.

It’s a love story set between two very different realities we experience on a daily basis. Shivaay is someone who once believed technology could empower people and create opportunities, but when a scam wipes out everything he has built, the loss doesn’t just hurt him financially; it completely breaks his trust in the digital world.

He chooses to step away from it and focus on real conversations and genuine connections."

He added, "On the other hand, Aadhya is a social media influencer who lives and breathes the online universe. When these two completely different people fall in love, their relationship becomes a constant push and pull between what is real and what exists online. Their relationship is pushed to the brink as secrets surrounding Aadhya’s identity and the possibility that her father is responsible for his ruin threaten to surface.

The conflicts depicted in the show felt extremely relatable to me because our lives today constantly move between two spaces, the real world and the one that exists online. We’re also living in a time where validation has moved online. A like, a comment or a viral moment can suddenly start defining how people feel about themselves. Shivaay thought he had logged out of that world, until love logged him back in, and that emotional contradiction is what made me say yes to the show.

It is Gen-Z storytelling with a Millennial vibe that will make Boomers smile."Vikram also spoke about shooting in Agra and spending time there, "Since the story belongs to Agra, spending time there really helped me settle into Shivaay’s world. The city has a very different rhythm compared to the fast-paced digital culture we see in bigger cities. There’s a grounded quality to it, people are more present in their everyday interactions, and life feels a little less rushed.

I found myself stepping out during breaks, walking through the local markets or just observing people around me.

Those small observations help you absorb the environment your character belongs to. For a character like Shivaay, who values simplicity and real human connections, being in a city that still feels rooted actually helped me internalise his mindset much more naturally," he shared.The show also stars Rachi Sharma and Sudhanshu Pandey in lead roles and Vikram shared his experience of working with them, he said, "It’s been a really enjoyable experience working with both of them because they bring very different energies to the show.

Rachi has a very natural spontaneity that suits Aadhya’s character perfectly and understands that world of visibility and expression very instinctively, which makes the contrast with Shivaay quite interesting to play on screen.

With Sudhanshu sir there’s a certain calm authority he brings to Baldev that immediately raises the emotional stakes of a scene. He’s someone who has been around for so long and carries so much experience, so even off-camera you end up learning a lot just by observing how he approaches a scene. As actors, when you have people who are very clear about their characters and fully present in the moment, the interactions start feeling very organic, and for me, the nicest part has been that nothing between the characters feels manufactured, the equations evolve very naturally as the story progresses."
