Navya Malini
Aproud son of a mother who practices law and an actor who wants to closely guard his personal life,actor Saurabh Raaj Jain not only took a calculative risk when he took acting and left the management fundas he learnt,but also chalked out a well drafted plan for his showbiz aspirations.Not worried about being stereotyped in an industry that easily typecasts an actor for doing a particular genre,Saurabh confidently puts his best foot forward in Television as he essays the roles of Lord Krishna and Lord Vishnu on Mahabharat and Devon Ke Dev Mahadev simultaneously.Saurabh,in a no holds barred interview talks about the technicalities of working in mythological shows,TV gimmicks and more.
What does your life consist of apart from acting and soaking yourself up in TV shows
Whichever profession you are in,the profession becomes a part of your personal life too.So,acting has become a part of me in all synergies.Acting takes inspiration from all the allied fields be it diction,dancing,reading,narrating,I try to imbibe all those things to perfect my acting skills.Thats what I do most of the t i m e.Whenever I am not shooting,and get a two day break,either I go for my dance cl a s s e s (Indian contemporary ) or go swimming.Gymming is part of my regimen and is essential for an actor.
Is dance an add-on after you stepped into acting
In India every child is passionate about dancing.Every state has its dance forms.I used to love bhangra in Delhi.Since I am an actor,now I want to polish my dancing skills professionally.I love to take part in a dance reality if given an opportunity.
Are you not limiting yourself only to mythology,since your current shows deal with that genre
I did Parichay followed by Uttaran where I played a negative role.Stereotyping does not happen on TV today.If I got myself into mythology,I can delve into any other genre into ease.Genres should not be a problem with me at all.Thats how an actor should work.I dont want to limit myself to a genre,language or a particular industry.I will do anything interesting that comes to me.
How relevant is Mahabharat today
The incidents in Mahabharat do have their impact because it says about the cause and effect.What is happening in the country these days makes Mahabharat even more relevant.Mahabharat teaches how to respect women.People are not taking exemplary action to stop violence against women.
Have Indian men changed their perspective on how they look at women and treat them
Change begins with ones upbringing.A root is planted when the boy is raised in an environment that teaches respect for women in the family.This makes a lot of difference.How a son is raised in a family,how he is taught to treat women as equals are important.My inspiration is my mom.My middle name is her name Raaj.She brought us all up me and my two elder sisters.
How often have you come to Ahmedabad
Id come to Ahmedabad to visit my tauji in G a n d h i n a g a r when I was in Class VII.After his demise,I didnt get to v i s i t Gujarat.So,this time its a nost a l g i c v i s i t f o r me.
