Mohit Malik in awe of Marathi actors like Atul Kulkarni and Makarand Deshpande

Actor Mohit Malik says he looks up to Marathi actors like Atul Kulkarni and Makarand Deshpande.

"I am married to a Maharashtrian (Aditi Shirwaikar) and have been watching a lot of Marathi cinema and shows. Marathi actors like Atul Kulkarni, Makarand Deshpande are some of the finest in the industry and as an actor, I look up to them," Mohit said in a statement.

At the moment, Mohit is seen as a Rockstar in the TV show, Kullfi Kumarr Bajewala. He has been learning Punjabi for his role and has also been watching a lot of regional cinema as a part of his training.

"When you are close to your own language, you are more attached to your craft and better connected to your roots. I think that is what works so well for these actors and I am glad the audience appreciate them for this. A lot of our Hindi actors cannot compete with these artistes."
