Mohit Raina: No difference between big and small screen
After trying his luck in films, and his most recent Don Muthuswamy bombing at the box office, Mohit Raina has, understandably, come back to his television roots. In fact, he argues that in today's times, a small screen hero is equivalent to his silver screen counterparts.
MOHIT will be seen playing a lead character in the serial Chehra (Star Plus Mon-Fri at 10.30). We caught up with Mohit and found out more about his involvement on the show.
Tell us something about yourself.
I am originally from Jammu; I completed my studies there and came to Mumbai three years ago. Though I started out as a model, it was my dream to become an actor. One year ago, I did a movie with Mithunda called Don Muthuswamy. Though it did not do well, I was not disappointed as I got the chance to work with a legendary actor.
What made you take up Chehra?
The story of the show made me take up the offer. Chehra's concept is unique so I was ready to take it up. I didn't want to lose this opportunity to play a character who has so many different shades. The audience will like my role for sure. I believe that there is hardly any difference between the big screen and the small screen. People nowadays are coming back to TV. In the end, acting, no matter where, is just about your performance as an actor.
What is your character all about?
I am playing Garv, a young business tycoon. He has achieved a lot at a very young age; he handles a huge business empire yet he is still grounded. He is very warm and wants to be the best. Garv goes for a business trip to a small town and there he meets Bandini, who is handicapped. He likes her attitude and slowly falls in love with her. The plot is a love story as well as a thriller. When they decide to start their new life together, twists and turns take place.
After Don Muthuswamy released, what kept you busy?
For any actor, it is difficult to get a chance to perform. I had an accident and I was recovering from that for a month. I got this offer two months after the film. I did try to do films but nothing worked out so I decided on this option.
Mohit was also seen in Antariksh. He says that it is always a risk to choose a different show but you have to take it. He adds, "Nowadays, the audience has become very choosy and that is why I feel they will like our show."
Mohit makes his entry on Chehra at a later stage in the show.
