After eight years of hiatus from television, actor, Sharad Kelkar is making his way back to the small screen, but this was definitely not the welcome he had planned. The actor, known for his deep voice, versatile acting and powerful screen presence, is now getting major backlash for his role in his upcoming TV show, Tum Se Tum Tak. Days after announcing his big return to television, the show’s makers dropped the promo on March 23, 2025. While seeing the actor’s comeback was supposed to create excitement, it backfired, sparking outrage across social media.
Internet reacts to Sharad Kelkar’s choice of role in his upcoming daily soap
The promo for Tum Se Tum Tak introduces Sharad Kelkar as ‘Arya Vardhan’, a 46-year-old uber-rich businessman who has everything in life except love. Opposite him is the 19-year-old actress Niharika Chouksey, who plays a bubbly, middle-class girl whose mother is desperate to get her married off. As fate would have it, the two extremely different worlds collide, setting the stage for a romance that transcends social class and, most of all, age! And the internet is not happy about the huge 27-year age gap.
