‘An actor should never stop learning’

‘An actor should never stop learning’

KINSHUK VAIDYA speaks with MUSKAN BAKSHI about his new show — Jaat Na Poocho Prem Ki and the reason behind the breaks in his career

Tell us about your character in Jaat Na Poocho Prem Ki.

I play Badal Ram, who belongs to a low cast. He is confident and determined. His motto in life is to uplift himself in the eyes of the society. He falls in love with a Brahmin girl — Suman who sees a potential in him. She is impressed by his thoughts and his approach towards life.

How did acting happen?

Acting happened since I was four-year-old. I started my career with a Marathi film — Suna Yeti Ghara. Then, I went on doing Dhangad Dhinga, Raju Chacha and eventually entered the Hindi industry with a kids-based show — Shaka Laka Boom Boom.

How has the journey been?

My journey is amazing. I am learning new things everyday. I feel blessed to be a part of the industry.

There is a lot of break in your career graph. Why?

After doing Shaka Laka Boom Boom in 2006, I took a break from acting because I wanted to focus on my studies. Education is important for moulding one’s personality and I didn’t want to compromise on that. Hence, the gap. After I completed my graduation, I came back to work.

Any mantra that you follow in life?

Being an actor you have to keep learning and growing. You can’t stop.

A moment that made you feel nostalgic...

The passion that entire unit works with, makes me feel nostalgic everytime I am on the sets. It is the same as it was earlier, when I was a child actor. All actors work with so much dedication that I feel nothing has changed since then. For Jaat Na Poocho Prem Ki, we had to shoot in Banaras in extremely hot weather. But,  the entire team was shooting as if it was cool. This is the passion and dedication that one needs to have towards their work.
