We have all heard stories of actors who go out of their way to research to get into the skin of the character.
There are actors who claim to have lived with jhuggiwalas before they play a jhuggiwala on screen, actors who spend time with sex workers to bring a touch of reality to a sex worker's character that they are suppose to play. Abhishek Avasti did something similar while shooting for the show Jugni Chali Jalandhar on Sab. He not only gave the shot a realistic touch but took it a little too seriously. While shooting for one of the scenes, Abhishek was supposed to sleep, while his on-screen brothers, Baba Segal and Karan Godwan, were to play a prank on him. The scene was shot well and everyone decided to go for lunch. While the unit wrapped up and was heading towards lunch, Abhishek got up yawning and asked if the scene was shot okay? It was then that everyone realised that Abhishek actually went off to sleep! The crew had a good laugh and pulled Abhishek's leg. Abhishek confessed, "Everyone started making fun of me." But the actor took the entire thing in good humour and said, "Everyone should learn the art of acting from me." Sure Abhishek, that is called getting into the skin of the character! |
