Kanikka Kapur to Play a Righteous Teacher in Dabang Teacher, Says Her Look Is Inspired by Sushmita Sen and Alia Bhatt


Kanikka Kapur, who won hearts with her portrayal of Major Suman Tiwari in Ek Duje Ke Vaaste, is all set to woo audiences with a completely new avatar in Shakeb Sayed Studioz’ upcoming vertical series, Dabang Teacher for Story TV.

We hear that Kanikka’s look in the series is loosely inspired by Sushmita Sen’s iconic character Chandni Chopra from Main Hoon Na and Alia Bhatt’s character Rani Chatterjee from Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. The actress will be seen stepping into the shoes of Naina, a strong-willed and morally upright teacher.
Talking about her character, Kanikka said, “I am playing the role of Naina in the show. She believes in calling a spade a spade. She is righteous and morally correct. Naina works as a teacher at an institute, and she is one of the most honest and disciplined teachers there. Her strong morals sometimes create problems for her, but she firmly believes in supporting what is right and calling out what is wrong.”

The Batwara 1947 actress is also excited about her new look and the opportunity to experiment with her appearance. She shared, “I am in love with my look. It’s something new and refreshing for me. Sushmita Sen’s character Chandni Chopra from Main Hoon Na is iconic, and my entry look is inspired by her. You will also see me wearing costumes inspired by Alia Bhatt’s character in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.”

Adding another interesting element to the series, Kanikka will once again share screen space with her Ek Duje Ke Vaaste co-star Mohit Kumar. The duo’s on-screen chemistry has been loved by their fans ever since they appeared together in the popular show.

Talking about their reunion, Kanikka said, “After our show ended, our fans continued to shower us with so much love. Because of their love, we have been reuniting again and again on different platforms and in different mediums. Mohit is a fabulous actor, and it is always a treat to work with him. Our chemistry is so organic that now we don’t even feel like we have to act. Our on-screen bond looks realistic without us putting in any extra effort.”

Talking about working with Shakeb Sayed Studioz, Kanikka said, "Mohit and I previously worked on another show, Intern Vs CEO, with the same production house, and it received a great response from the viewers. I really like the way they work. They are organised, thorough professionals, and their approach is very systematic. So, when they approached me for another show, I didn’t hesitate to say yes."

With a strong character, a fresh look and the much-loved Kanikka-Mohit pairing, Dabang Teacher is certainly one of the upcoming vertical series to watch out for.
