"Kundali Bhagya is a show that has turned the tables for me. It has actually changed my 'bhagya' (fortune) and given me a scope to incorporate different looks and characters, whenever the role has required me to adopt a disguise in order to perform vicious activities. In the upcoming track of 'Kundali Bhagya', I take up a girl's avatar to safeguard my evil plan from being exposed," he says.There is a murder that takes place in the show and Prithvi has met the victim just the day before.
