Sumit Vats, who is currently playing the role of Rishi in Zee TV's Hitler Didi (Trilogy Krikoi) is one humble and down-to-earth actor in the TV industry.
This journalist turned TV actor talks to Tellychakkar.com to speak on his take on contemporary journalism, his character in Hitler Didi, his co-stars and many other interesting topics. Excerpts:
Once you were a journalist. What goes on in your mind when you find journalists interviewing you now?
Nothing much, I speak my heart out and simply tell the truth.
What do you think of the current scenario of journalism?
According to me, the standard of journalism is improving. I admire the way journos work and source news; I like their eye for authenticity. I think they have been doing a good job especially with issues like the Jessica Lal case.
You come from a theatre background. Do you think that helps to hone one's acting ability?
I was very actively involved with theatre and feel that indeed theatre helps one improve his/her acting skills. I would say that doing theatre is a very good and regular acting practice.
Can you identify with Rishi, your character in Hitler Didi?
I can somewhat identify with Rishi, but not too much. For instance, I am not a happy-go-lucky guy like him. Unlike him, I have to know a person well before making befriending him or her. I simply can't make friends in a jiffy. That is something that I don't do.
What advice would you give to Rishi if you had met him in real life?
There is so much to learn from Rishi. How can I advise him? Unlike me, he is so tension free and tries to make others smile and is against any wrong doings; he is perfectly a nice guy.
Your show has had themes like amnesia, lookalikes and returning from the dead. Don't you think that these are subjects which have been done to death?
