Actress Kusha Kapila, renowned for her roles in 'Selfiee', 'Plan A Plan B', 'Thank You for Coming', 'Case Toh Banta Hai,' and others, recently shared her experience of stepping into a unique role in the coming-of-age drama series 'Dehati Ladke.'Known for predominantly portraying extremely urban characters, Kusha takes on the character of Chhaya, a liberal and progressive Assistant Professor in 'Dehati Ladke.' This character marks a departure from her previous roles, adding a layer of complexity and depth to her on-screen presence.

Speaking about her character, Kusha elaborated, "Chhaya is a liberal and progressive woman, who is an Assistant Professor at Rajat’s university. She finds love in Rajat's mentor, Prashant. Chhaya has a mind of her own; she is a strong-headed yet amicable person, and people find it easy to open up to her. Besides being progressive, she is also unafraid to make mistakes in life."

Highlighting the uniqueness of this role, Kusha expressed, "Interestingly, my character in 'Dehati Ladke' is unlike any other roles that I have done in the past. I have mostly essayed extremely urban characters. I’ve never really played a professor, especially somebody who quotes poets and imparts wisdom at the drop of a hat. So, that was very interesting."

'Dehati Ladke,' based on a best-selling Hindi novel, not only captures the nostalgia of college days but also imparts valuable life lessons about embracing life to the fullest. The series follows the journey of Rajat, a simple boy from a small village, as he embarks on a quest to chase his dreams in the vibrant city of Lucknow.

Featuring Shine Pandey, Raghav Sharma, Tanish Neeraj, Saamya Jainn, Aasif Khan, and Kusha, this young adult series is available for streaming on Amazon miniTV.
