A recent interview with actress Shobana, who stars opposite veteran actor S.V. Shekher in an upcoming television serial, has stirred up conversation online. The 26-year-old actress candidly admitted that she wasn’t familiar with Shekhar before signing the project, even asking if he had acted in the film Jeans.

Shobana will be seen alongside the 76-year-old actor in a new family drama airing soon on Kalaignar TV. In a promotional interview, she remarked, “At first, I didn’t know who S.V. Shekher was. I vaguely remembered that he might’ve been in Jeans. But my grandmother really likes him. I’ve never even met my grandmother, so I had no personal connection or knowledge about him.”

S.V. Shekher, known for his extensive work in theatre, cinema, and politics, has recently stepped away from political life and returned to acting. In this upcoming serial, he portrays an elderly widower living with his extended family — including a son, daughter-in-law, and grandson. The story follows his decision to remarry a woman who has also lost her spouse, and the dynamics that unfold within the family after that.

The show's preview has already caught attention, and Shobana’s unfiltered comments have only added to the buzz around this unconventional on-screen pairing.
