What was the criteria for signing on Dor?
To start with Dor is a show on STAR Plus which is a celebrated channel and has remarkable shows. The production house UTV has a great reputation. Thirdly, the script and story appealed to me. The role is fantastic and I loved it the moment I heard it. And lastly Dor is on prime time. There was no reason for me to turn this opportunity down. Instead, I am glad to be doing Dor. I am glad to be part of the STAR Plus family.
Tell us about your role in the show.
I play a Marathi guy Bhaskar. He is not a negative person, but has grey shades. Bhaskar is clever, smart and a smooth operator. He knows he has a charming quality and uses it to his advantage. He can cajole people to do stuff for him without the other person realizing so. He works as a junior officer, is very money minded, wants to fulfil all his dreams and live like a king.
As the show is based in a Marathi household, do you speak any Marathi in the show?
Not much. There are a few words here and there. But we have kept the twang when possible to give a texture and Marathi feel to the show.
How do you feel about a girl helping her family post marriage?
As Rohit, I feel that it is commendable and a girl should help her family in need. But Bhaskar doesn't feel so, he doesn't find it acceptable. He has objections to that. He feels his wife should earn and give his salary to his house only.
What does television mean to you?
Television is my bread, butter and cream. I am here because of my audiences, my serial and television. Television is be-all, end-all for me. I enjoy being on television. After Uttaran, I got a break and before we began working on Dor, I even did a film called Men Will Be Men with Red Chilles directed by Gorkee.
What does acting mean?
Acting is my first dream, ambition and love. When I realized what I wanted to be in life it was acting. I knew I had to join the entertainment industry and I was working towards it till I got my first show. I don't anything other than acting.
How has becoming a celebrity changed you?
I don't think I have changed as a person. But when I go out in public, I meet people who show their love and appreciation for my work, it feels good. When they recognize my parents as Vansh's dad and mom, it feels good. I am the same person I was earlier.
Tell us something that people do not know about you.
I love collecting fridge magnets and I have collected from all over the world. Whenever I go abroad, I get a souvenir and therefore have a huge collection of magnets covering my entire fridge. Now if I get more, I would need a new fridge.
Starting 14th February tune-in to Dor every Mon-Fri at 8:30 p.m. only on STAR Plus!
