Shaheer's New Article in INDIAN EXPRESS !!!
Having played the boy-next-door in Navya - Naye Dhadkan Naye Sawaal, Shaheer Sheikh has now effortlessly moved to playing the warrior prince Arjun in Mahabharat. With the audience now accepting him as Arjun, the actor talks about the challenges he had to face to seamlessly fit into a legend's armour.
to act his part, then I have to do all of it. I've felt that the more I put myself into difficult or harder conditions, the more it'll look real. So, we were actually shooting in a real jungle, where we couldn't even get a vanity van. We stayed in tents. Sometimes I feel I'm living his life, that's how close I feel to Arjun. And now, it's so hectic that I even forget to call my family sometimes. But they see me on TV each day, so I'm the only one missing them. It's fun because the other four actors playing Pandavas are like four brothers, and we all work out together, eat together. It's only when I'm shooting alone that I get bored and want to go home!
