Complete artist package- Arya Babbar
What do you call a complete artist package? An actor who has been into writing, an actor who started his journey at 10 years of age, an actor who has done theatre and believes in learning from all forms of cinema. The actor is no other than Arya Babbar, a.k.a. Babbar sher . He is the man who is continuing the legacy of actor-politician Raj Babbar. I guess, acting is in their blood. Son of Raj Babbar and Nadira Babbar, Arya is a very down to earth and a family man. Stepping into Bollywood with his movie Ab ke Baras, he never looked back. His beautiful journey continues since his first play when he was 10 years old, titled, Aao Picnic Chalein. Arya Babbar talked to the Pollywood Masala team about his past, his life and many more.
Q) Pollywood Masala: Journey from Aao Picnic Chalein to today must be a beautiful one. Tell us something about it?
Arya Babbar: (Laughs) Nice Question. It was a long journey, but now when I look back at it, it seems so beautiful and blessed with lots of learning. Aao Picnic chalein was my first play. Now I am doing movies. It has been a mixture of success and failure, as usually happens in life. Failures usually teach you a lot and are always a part of life. For an actor it is always the love and support of his fans, which in my case, luckily, has been immense. I thank them for loving me so much and believing in me. Fans have been an important part of my life
Q) Pollywood Masala: So, Arya Babbar steals the limelight in Each of his movie from Yaar Anmulle , jatts in golmall , Naughty Jatts etc . How do you feel about it? All I have heard is your praise in the movie... Even your father and mother have praised your acting skills in the movie...
Arya Babbar: It has surely been overwhelming. I always watch my movies with my parents and my whole family. I am a family man. It feels like home with them. And they also guide me how to do better. Yes it surely feels proud when they appreciate me for my work. They have always been my inspiration and so, their appreciation matters the most.
Q) Pollywood Masala: I have read and seen so many articles and interviews of you and I find that you are a very honest and a straight forward guy. So how difficult it is to survive in this industry being honest?
Arya Babbar: The credit goes to my father. A father is always The Hero for his son. I have seen this honesty in my father and it helped my develop this attitude. My hard work has also contributed to what I am today.
He further adds, "Main ajj Jo v haan, raab de kar ke haan," (What I am today is because of the almighty). I hate lies. I don't know, but, that's what I am, and I am proud of it.
Q) Pollywood Masala: You have been the recipient of National Award of the Journalist Association.? Your comments!
Arya Babbar: Yes, and recently I have had two achievements, one is being brand ambassador of SAYCA and second, I was given an award by Punjab's Chief Minister, Sri Prakash Singh Badal ji.
Q) Pollywood Masala: If you get a chance to go as participant in Bigg Boss, will you go for it?
Arya Babbar: No, I won't. I have been offered it twice but I said no. I am a straight forward person and I cannot stay there. I will end up beating up somebody, because you know what they try to create in there.Faaltu da panga khada ho jaega!!
Q) Pollywood Masala: If Bigg Boss starts in a Punjabi Format? Would you like to host it?
