Pranav Sachdeva enjoys seducing married woman in 'Delhiciously Chekhov'

TV actor Pranav Sachdeva is on a different kind of high. A simpleton in real life, he remarks that he's "thoroughly enjoying being devilish in reel life." 

After playing a double-faced character in the daily soap Agar Tum Saath Ho on the revamped Zindagi channel, Pranav is again playing dual roles in a new play called Delhiciously Chekhov, starring veteran actor Tom Alter. 

Being staged exclusively in the Indian capital, Delhiciously Chekhov is a tribute to Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, the Russian playwright and short-story writer, who is considered to be one of the greatest writers of short fiction in playwright history. 

"I play a father in the first half who wants to make a man out of his 19-year old son and so, takes him to a woman," says Pranav. "As if that is not eww enough, the second half of the play has me playing a notorious bachelor, giving a live and practical demonstration on how to seduce a beautiful young woman with a little help from her husband." 

"I know what you would be thinking. That this fellow is the scum of the earth. But to me, a good actor is a person who can even play that," Pranav quips like a smart alec, defining his most obnoxious roles. 

The play's director Raj Upadhyay praises the actor for being able to carry off roles that may make the audience feel uneasy in their seats. "Pranav creates fire on stage with his presence and energy. He explores his characters like someone is finding water in a desert. His sense of improvisation is remarkable." 

Turns out, Delhiciously Chekhov is not the only play the actor is doing. Come March, and Pranav will be playing the role of another veteran actor Asrani's son in a comic play called The Makkhi-Choos.

SKIP MARLEY releases brand new song- LIONS

“We are the lions, we are the chosen

We gonna shine out the dark

We are the movement, this generation

You better know who we are, who we are.”

(“Lions” by Skip Marley)

Island Records is excited to announce the signing of Skip Marley, a reggae prodigy for a new generation. Skip’s debut single “Lions,” is an intense call to action that “shows people when we are strong and unified no evil can get us.” Watch the powerful lyric video HERE! 

“We are so proud to have Skip Marley join the Island family,” said David Massey, President/CEO Island Records.  “His talent is extraordinary and his music reflects what the world needs right now.  For Island to continue our history with the amazing Marley family is an honor.  Skip’s unique style and point of view is going to set the world on fire.”

“Yea if ya took all my rights away

Yea if ya tellin’ me how to pray

Yea if ya won’t let us demonstrate

Ya wrong

Yea if ya thinkin’ I don’t belong

Yea if ya hidin’ behind a gun

Yea if ya hopin’ I’m gonna run

Ya wrong…”

Although reggae is at the root of his music, Skip says of his sound, “I’m coming from a new genera­tion, “blending influences and letting it come out organically in the music.”  Referencing the Rolling Stones, soca, hip-hop and EDM artists in one breath, Skip doesn’t like to limit himself, instead he “just let ideas drop down on me and go with the flow.”

Deeply connected to his craft and refreshingly self-assured, Skip is authentic in a way most artists these days could never claim to be.  His songs follow suit, confidently mixing genres, influences, and instruments while maintaining their important messaging.  Those messages aren’t wedded to a particular moment in history, however. They’re universal and important, bringing the love his grandfather, Bob Marley, preached to a new generation.

“I want to spread my music to the people and help them unify,” he says. “I want people to take away a message of love, of looking at the way you are living and thinking where we can work to be our best. Whatever they’re feeling, I want them to be able to turn up my music and think, relax, and get good vibes.”
