Playing the prince: Rajat Tokas

After Shah Rukh Khan he is probably the only actor who floors both the mothers and daughters with equal ease. Ask this to the cute Rajat Tokas and he blushes. "I don't know but the letters I get from my female fans make me feel that they think I am old enough to feel the emotions I portray on screen." A student of Std. X at New Delhi's Hope Hall Foundation, R.K. Puram, 14-year-old Rajat is etched in public memory as young Prithiviraj Chauhan. Initia lly roped in by the Sagars for just three episodes, Rajat went on to play the character for 200 episodes. "My role was limited to the episodes where Prithiviraj learns to fire shabdbhedi baan and fights with the lion. But apparently the public liked me so much that the producers kept on increasing my role."

Maths rules

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 diet

As 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".
