I would stare outsdie for hours to get the right gaze' Ashish Sharma who is scorching the screen with his lean hot look in Rangrasiya talks about his challenging role

Y ou have undergone a complete transformation for your role as Rudra in Rangrasiya...

Yes. When Saurabh (Tewary, producer) was talking to me about the serial, he made it clear that the pysche and journey of the character was very important. Usually, one prepares for the role externally, for this character I prepped inside out. Physically, I had to tone down my body. I already used to workout and was beefed up but army guys have a naturally tough look. To achieve that I started combat training and got rid of gymming. I also started cycling, swimming and going for long runs on the beach. I swapped my car with a friend who has an Enfield and rode it to get a hang of it, as the bike is an extension of the character I play.

What did you do to get into the pysche of the character?

After mentally drawing a sketch of Rudra, I started writing down notes on him " his thoughts and his routine. Sometimes, I used to write a few lines in verse too. This diary has been a great help to me, especially because I shoot multiple scenes in a day. When I have to do a particular scene, I refer to my diary to get into that mindset.

Heath Ledger used to maintain a diary when he was playing Joker in The Dark Knight. Was he the inspiration?

You could say that. However, I have done a course in acting, where I learnt several methods of acting and this was one of them. On TV when you are playing such a complex character, it helps to have a diary because you don't get much time to prepare as compared to films.

What is your take on Rudra?

Rudra is someone who carries a lot of baggage. He hasn't had closure and is like a volcano ready to erupt at any time. However, because of his army training, he is calm and composed. For me it was a challenge to project that angst, the fearlessness and the desolate look in his eyes. I adapted some small gestures to convey that. The way he stands with his hands on his hips shows that he is ready to take anything heads-on, but at the same time he's in control. Another thing I worked on was his gaze. I used to sit at the window and stare outside for hours to crack that code. My wife (actress Archana Taide) thought I was going crazy (grins). I wanted to do it because it's important to believe in the character, to get into the depth and connect with the pain. Only then can the audience relate to you.

How much of Ashish is there in Rudra?
Like Rudra, I don't open up to many people. I am reserved on the sets and keep to my self. That's the reason I relate to him. However, I don't kill people like him!

There hasn't been any dialogue between you and Sanaya Irani in the serial, yet one can see the chemistry between you two...
The fact that Sanaya and I didn't know each other and met for the first time on the sets of the show has worked for the characters Paro and Rudra. They are strangers to each other, but when they meet something happens!

However, there is a lot of violence on the show...
It's guns and roses, so there will be violence but ultimately love will win over it.

In your debut serial Gunahon Ka Devta too you were an angry young man...
That was completely different. In Gunahon Ka Devta, I was a goon, always in a rage, a 21-year old rowdy who falls in love. Rudra, on the other hand, is angsty and burning from inside. There are several layers to him, which I have yet to explore. Another role I enjoyed doing was Ranvir in Rab Se Sona Ishq as an actor. The kind of transformation my character undergoes was interesting. Initially, he was a careless vagabond who ran away to London, later he became an obssessive lover-husband and eventually a good friend.

Any chances of you working with your wife Archana Taide?
I really hope so. Archana is a brilliant actress whose potential hasn't been tapped. I think I will produce and direct a show for her!

I TAKE UP CHARACTERS WHICH ARE CHALLENGING: SADIYA SIDDIQUI

posted by Prerna Arora, last updated on January 30, 2014 at 12:06 am

Sadiya Siddiqui has been one of the most known faces of TV and after playing various character roles she has created a niche for herself in the industry. Currently she plays the role of Thakuraiyan in Colors' Rangrasiya and by her own confession she finds it challenging and intriguing.

Commenting on her role Sadiya said, "Once my character unfolds in the later episodes it turns out to be very different, challenging and something I haven't done before." Sadiya has also played a small but important role in Balika Vadhu as Anandi's school teacher and believes in doing roles which have some meaning. "When I was younger I was part of a Doordrashan show in which I played the character of a child bride. Few years down the line I became part of Balika Vadhu and for me it means life has come full circle. It is such roles that make the journey of an actor."
Sadiya also hopes to do main lead roles but provided the character has something to offer. "As an actor I believe even main leads should have strong characters to portray but unfortunately in today's time TV doesn't follow such norm. Rarely do you find characters which display strength and one who has take a stand. In Doordarshan days it was all about good actors doing great characters."

It's not only TV that Sadiya has worked in but also theatre and films and believes that the television medium has changed over time. "Everything changes with time and I think today TV is plain fantasy. Audiences like to see what they don't get to see in regular life. That's why I even do a lot of theatre to keep in touch with reality." Asked if she prefers theatre over TV and films she replied, "It depends on the role and I always take characters which are challenging to do. I'm an actor and more than the medium the role is important."

Currently, Sadiya's character is enjoying living in the Big Haveli and has no clue about her husband's illegal activities. But Sadiya reveals that very soon everything is going to change. "My character will soon face some torturous moments and undergo tough times. There's a lot to look forward to in the story."

Scenario is a but grim on the sets of Colors' Rangrasiya (Nautanki Telefilms). The creatives of the show are in a state of fix as its lead, Ashish Sharma has gone down with viral fever.

The actor has been keeping very ill and has been left bed ridden since the last couple of days, bringing an abrupt halt to the shooting of pivotal scene.
Cuts in a source: "He has been very unwell. He is hospitalized and is recuperating. He also missed the recent Colors party for being unwell. Hope he recovers soon."

We have also learnt that the sudden ailment has created problem for the creatives as Ashish has stopped shooting, for obvious reasons.

Thus, at the moment, they are filming filler sequences and pivotal scenes have been put in the backburner.

We tried reaching Ashish and Producer Saurabh Tewari but they remained out of reach.
