Meet the youngster who played the role of young Prithviraj. |
Playing the prince: Rajat Tokas
He might have done a historical but his favourite subject is mathematics. "I didn't read about Prithiviraj before enacting the role. I went by what my director told me. As I had no preconceived notions, I believe it brought spontaneity to my acting."
An above average student, Rajat says, "The kind of competition we have in academics these days, only the best get their chosen vocation. I felt I am good at acting so I should focus on it and keep the studies going."
However, because of the strenuous shooting schedules, Rajat admits he has missed out on studies. "I have a lot to catch up but I will manage. Now that my role in Prithvi is over, I am concentrating on studies. In the interim, I also missed out on celebrating my birthday. I want to spend some time with my family."
Good dietAs for his physique which makes him look older than his age, Rajat shares he doesn't exercise too much. "It is just the effect of milk and milk products."
Rajat avers fame hasn't changed him. "I am the same for my friends and family. But many others have changed towards me."
After the break, Rajat will soon be seen in another period-serial, "Dharam Veer".
