Giving a sneak peek into his character, Sidharth revealed that Agastya cannot help “but fall in love with someone who comes from a world he doesn’t approve of.”

The romantic series — which stars Sonia Rathee as Rumi opposite Sidharth Shukla as Agastya — is described by producer Ekta Kapoor as a passionate love story that will not only portray romance but also falling out of love.

Sidharth further excited his fans by revealing that Rumi’s look would be unveiled later in the day.

Fans couldn’t contain their joy as they showered Sidharth’s post with love. Many of his fans praised him for his rugged appearance and said that the beard fitted him.

The premiere date for Broken But Beautiful 3 was announced on Wednesday by Harleen Sethi, who appeared in the first two installments of the series.  The web series will premiere on ALTBalaji on May 29 and will also be available on MX Player later that month.

Sethi piqued fans’ interest a few weeks ago when she posted a clip from the trailer in which Sidharth and Sonia’s characters can be seen kissing. As they clashed over drinks, the clip also hinted at the pair’s love-hate relationship. The chemistry between Sidharth and Sonia was apparent as they kissed each other fiercely.

Sonia Rathee, an Indian-American actress and dancer, playing the female lead in ‘Broken But Beautiful 3’, will also mark her debut in the entertainment industry.
