Want to become as popular as Angad: Navi Banghu

A few years back a young guy from Punjab debuted in Rajan Shahi's Bidaai as Alekh. The young and handsome actor, Angad Hasija, became a star after the show. It seems history is about to repeat itself.

Another young actor from Jalandhar, Punjab, Navi Banghu has recently debuted in Director's Kut show Amrit Manthan. Navi is playing a character called Agam Mullick who hates Amrit (Adaa) and has only one ambition in life, to ruin Amrit and her ego.

Says Navi, "DKP's casting and acting mentor Kulvinder Bakshish spotted me in a
music video and asked me to send my audition video. I sent it immediately and then Rajan Sir called me for another audition and look test. It was only after that I got selected," he says.

Navi considers himself quite lucky because without any kind of struggle he got this opportunity. "I owe a lot to Rajan sir and Kulvindar sir.When I met Rajan sir he asked me what kind of role I wanted to do in my career. Without thinking much I told him that a character like Alekh (played by Angad Hasija in Bidaai) is something I would like to do."

Navi also explains that a workshop helped him get into the character of Agam. "Lookwise I am very much like Agam so there was no homework required for that. But I had to learn a lot on other aspects since this is my debut show."

Navi also adds, "Last month at the launch party of Amrit Manthan I met Angad Hasija and I told him that how much I liked his work. He is a very humble person and was quite happy to know my liking for him. I want to become as popular as Angad Hasija".

Apart from Punjabi music videos, Navi has also done a Punjabi film called Teri Meri Ek Jind.
