Television audiences are buzzing with excitement as Rohit Suchanti‘s portrayal of Angad Virani in the ongoing hit reboot Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 draws striking similarities to the beloved character of Manav Deshmukh from Ekta Kapoor’s classic Pavitra Rishta.

In recent episodes, following a major storyline twist, Angad, previously depicted as a modern, affluent young man from the prestigious Virani family, has undergone a dramatic shift.

After facing family conflicts and misunderstandings, Angad, along with his wife Vrinda (played by Tanisha Mehta) and their twins, has embraced a simpler life in a chawl.

He is now shown taking on humble responsibilities, prioritizing family values, hard work, and emotional depth over luxury, much like the grounded, responsible garage mechanic Manav, immortalized by Sushant Singh Rajput in the original Pavitra Rishta.

“Rohit’s Angad is giving major Manav vibes!” one fan tweeted, sparking a viral trend on social media with #AngadIsNewManav.

Viewers are praising how Angad’s journey reflects Manav’s core traits: quiet strength, unwavering dedication to loved ones, and rising above challenges with dignity and sacrifice.

A source from the sets shared, “The current track intentionally highlights Angad’s transformation into a family-oriented man living a modest life, supporting his mother Tulsi (Smriti Irani) and building a nurturing home.

It is a nod to those timeless Ekta Kapoor heroes who win hearts through their simplicity and resilience.”

Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, which premiered earlier this year on Star Plus, continues to dominate ratings with its blend of nostalgia and fresh drama.

As Angad’s storyline unfolds in this grounded avatar, fans cannot stop comparing him to Manav, declaring Rohit Suchanti the “new-age Manav” of Indian television.

With emotional family reunions and heartfelt moments on the horizon, this parallel has only amplified the show’s appeal.

Tune in to see if Angad’s path continues to mirror the legendary Manav Deshmukh!
