Kay Kay Menon on His Role

Kay Kay Menon, who plays Gyaneshwar Tripathi, said playing a headmaster was a new experience for him. He also spoke about what attracted him to the role and working on the series.

"Over the years, I have had the chance to play all kinds of characters--from intelligence officers and politicians to criminals--but I have never played a headmaster before. That immediately intrigued me when I first read the script. What drew me in even more was how relatable Gyaneshwar is. He is not perfect and has many flaws, but he is also sharp, intuitive, and knows how to turn situations to his advantage," the actor said in the press release.

Archana Puran Singh on Her Character

Archana Puran Singh, who essays the role of Urmila Devi, said the writing and her character made the project special for her.

"What drew me to Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya was its beautifully observed writing. It is a story filled with humour, heart, and characters that feel incredibly authentic. My character, Urmila Devi, is bold, outspoken, fiercely ambitious, and completely unapologetic about who she is, which made her an absolute joy to portray."

Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya will stream on Prime Video in Hindi with English subtitles from July 24 in India and over 240 countries and territories worldwide. (ANI)
