Perfectionist Piyush Sahdev to play tough in Shapath

‎Handsome hunk Piyush Sahdev will soon be seen in Life Ok's upcoming show 'Hum ne li hai... Shapath', a story of tough cops against the flawed system with thrilling and contemporary police cases weaved in...
In the show produced by Fireworks, perfectionist Piyush is playing the lead character Abhigyan, the son of a big business tycoon, who chooses to work for his Nation, rather than stay with his father in a luxurious set-up. The show has two more characters - inspector Gautam, played by Hasan Zaidi (Khote Sikke) to be introduced in 6th episode, and Shikha, social worker, played by Madura Nayak (Pyar Ki Ek Kahani). The trio teams up to solve murder mysteries and every murder case goes on for around 3-4 weeks.
In fact, the well toned Piyush recently made headlines with his dare-to-bare act. He loves to show off his body because he is quite crazy about fitness; in love with his gym and works out regularly. He also practices martial arts such as kempo-karate and naan chaku. He has been doing all his stunts himself without a duplicate in ‘...Shapath’ and earlier show ‘Geet’. In fact, as a preparation for the show ‘...Shapath’, he lost 7 kgs for this role. He has been watching many police themed films and has also been meeting the cops to understand their mannerisms.
Talking about his lead role, an intense Piyush says, “I love action roles and Shapath will elevate me to the next frontier of my career. The hard-hitting show is a dream come true for a fitness fanatic like me. My first promo clearly portrays various facets of my personality and I have already got rave reviews for the same.”

Piyush’s love life is also making waves. He is in a committed relationship with actress Akangsha Rawat (lead of ‘Solah Singaarr’ and ‘Palampur Express’) since the last 6 months. He says, “I think my life has completely changed with her. Akangsha is also a mind therapist/karmic healer. I couldn’t take my eyes off her the first time I saw her in an audition as I found her to be very beautiful. As people say that it's all destiny and we met again through a common friend, Vaibhavi and finally started dating.”
The multi-facetted Piyush has done theatre for 5 years and on TV, he has acted in ‘Geet’, ‘Pratigya’, ‘Ghar Ek Sapna’ and ‘Meet mila de rabba’ as a lead (Sardarji) as well as the dance show ‘Nach Le Ve’. He has played the role of Sharad in Ghar Ek Sapna and Aman Mathur in star plus serial, Mann Kee Awaaz Pratigya; and was also seen in Zee's Har Ghar Kuch Kehta Hai. Piyush Sahdev aka Kulwant Singh of Meet Mila De Rabba is an extremely spiritual person. The actor who played the role of a Sardar helped him gather many fans and now his fans want to know more about him. He also sings very well and dreams of playback singing for himself. He also plays the harmonium. Actress Meher Vij is his sister and actor Manav Vij is his jija (they have done many Balaji shows).
Piyush is very sensitive and emotional and feels that Life is… beautiful. He is also conservative and feels that marriage is what happens once in a lifetime and those who get married are the luckiest and happiest people on this earth. His first crush was in 8th Std. Piyush feels that his ideal woman should be homely, who should understand him and loves me a lot. He loves old Hindi songs. He wants to control his explosive anger. He loves actors Aamir Khan, Tom Hanks and Kajol. He loves seeing Tom and Jerry cartoons. He is a very spiritual person so he believes whatever religious books say. His advice to youngsters - Respect your elders. Don’t waste your time by getting into wrong things. Improve the quality of your life by doing good things.

Shudra- Intreview of the director Sanjiv Jaiswal

SanjivJaiswal, the Directorand Producer of Shudra-The Rising had earlier produced Fareb with star cast of ShipaShetty, Manoj Bajpai and Shamita Shetty. Fareb was directed by Deepak Tijori. Hissecond film is raising the age old issue of castism where he has also turned todirection.
Please tell us about your movie Shudra-The rising. What made youcome up with this concept?
Sanjiv Jaiswal : It is completely based against Casteism.Hindu’s have four divisions - Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaish & Shudra. Inreality Casteism is like poison for any society. Through my film Shudra I want to show and tell peoplewhat happened in the social history of india…. That it is just our past. I wantthem to change their mindset and come up with new vision towards each other forbetter progression of the society and the country. Everybody thinks their castto be more superior as compared to others, which is not correct. Big crusadors likeGeorge Washington, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther, Baba Bhimrao Ambedkar havealways fought against this system of Casteism.

In UP &Punjab, screening of Aarakshan was banned unless few sceneswere edited. Do you think Shudra may face similar problem?
Sanjiv Jaiswal : Their subject was different, wheretheir promotion had given the impression that it is anti reservation. May be because of that there were bans againstthem in three states. Mine is a social issue and its depicting history which isvery much true. So I don’t think any NGO or political party or any communitywould impede me.
Promos are giving impression of a Hollywood film. Is it true thisis the first film of cinematographer Pratik Deora as well?
Sanjiv Jaiswal : Yes, in fact the USP of Shudra is my entire cast and crew is completelynew and fresh. From director, writer, actors, music directors Cameramanetc….its their first project with their fresh and more innovative ideas.
Where did you source your artistes from? Was there any workshopconducted train them?
Sanjiv Jaiswal : They are all theaters artist from Mumbai because I neededperformers and not actors. For me my characters and my subject were moreimportant. We did a 20 day workshop but it was most unusual. Instead of takinga workshop trainer, I decided to hold a very practical activity for them. Ipicked na entire village of Harijans along with their animals, home businessand kids and relocated them in my shooting location. I left my actors in themiddle of these people and told them to live and learn their way of life. For20 days they lived, ate & slept with real villagers like them and by thetime we started the shoot, it was impossible to tell my actors from thevillagers. Whenever we needed any our artiste for a particular shot, we had toreally search for them amongst the crowd.
Is shudra samaaj supporting you from outside?
Sanjiv Jaiswal : Yes, few days back I was called inPune by Shudra samaaj people. They also shared with me lots of fact. Theyvalued my work and gifted me one of their book which had entire details about theirpast and samaaj. Each one of them was well studied and they appreciated myefforts to bring awareness about the realities of their life.
