Avinash Dwivedi Interview: Writer-Actor of ‘Dupahiya’ Talks About Auditioning for His Own Series

The comedy-drama series "Dupahiya," available on Amazon Prime Video, has been met with widespread acclaim and a second season is already in the works

Avinash Dwivedi, both writer and actor of "Dupahiya," co-created the series with Chirag Garg, aiming to blend humor with important societal messages, particularly addressing the issue of dowry

The inspiration for "Dupahiya" came from Avinash's personal experiences in rural Uttar Pradesh, where dowry demands are prevalent, and he hopes the series encourages viewers to rethink such practices

Avinash chose to play the character Kuber due to personal connections and the complexity of the role, even auditioning for the part despite being the series' writer

Acting in a show he wrote presented unique challenges for Avinash, as he had to shift perspectives between being a writer and an actor, ultimately enriching his experience

The casting of Gajraj Rao was a predetermined decision, and his acceptance of the role brought valuable learning experiences for the entire team due to his impactful performances

Sparsh Shrivastava impressed with his portrayal of Bhogol Jha, overcoming casting challenges due to the character's complexity and becoming an integral part of the series

Avinash expresses admiration for both intense action-packed series and simpler, family-oriented dramas set in Uttar Pradesh, acknowledging each style's unique appeal

Upcoming projects for Avinash include the second season of "Dupahiya," a new web series titled "Mandla Murders" for Netflix, and a film called "Nausikhye"

"Dupahiya" features a talented ensemble cast, including Gajraj Rao, Renuka Shahane, and Bhuvan Arora, and has resonated with audiences for its relatable content and heartfelt storytelling
