Actor
Vineet Raina, who is playing role of Lakshya in Beyond Dreams' Ishq Mein
Marjawan, says that he loves his character because of the variations that it
has. "The character has both the shades actually. It has different
variations. He is a very intelligent police officer. He has his own unique way
of handling the case. He has his own style of investigation. The reason I took
this role was that it is challenging. This is an actor's character. It has a
very thin line between being comic and being serious. He can be humorous and
serious at the same time. He is very good at his job. Basically, I also made it
very innovative and the creatives are also very happy with it," he says.
Ask
him if he takes time getting to his look, and he says, " It does not take
much time. We don't have to put a lot of makeup. But I work on my script more
than anything. I spend all that time reading it before getting on the
set."
The
actor is also enjoying working with Beyond Dreams. " It is fabulous. I
know Yash (Patnaik) for a very long time now and I have always appreciated and
respected him for his creative mind and his experimental mind. Mamta is another
gem of a person. She is as creative and intelligent. They both have got very
different genres and content to this industry. I have always wanted to work
with them. They have a brilliant vision and they are one of the best that our
television industry has got," he says.
While
many actors may complain about the long working hours of television, Vineet
disagrees. " It is not very demanding I feel because it is what is keeping
me alive. Whenever I am busy working, it keeps me satisfied and fresh. I feel
active. I love this demanding profession. It is very lively," he says.
Being
in the limelight is also something that Vineet doesn't mind. "I feel that
in the end, it is your job, the judgements, the criticisms will come. You have
to take them positively. Criticisms are important, so by the end of the day,
you work harder," he says.
Well!
Fans are a welcome treat for the actor as well, who has a lot of female fan
following. "I really appreciate that. I am fortunate that I have such a
fan following. I will really work hard in the future," he says.
Another
thing that Vineet feels is important for an actor, is to be presentable.
"It is very important for an actor to look clean, tidy and fit. People
admire that more than anything, they get impressed. Plus you look fresh on
screen. So it is important," he says, adding, "People look up to us,
they idealise us, they consider us as role models. They get inspired by us. So,
I think an actor has to be very conscious about what kind of image they are
portraying in public so people do not get negatively influenced," he says.
Ask
him the most interesting part of being an actor. "Being an actor is itself
a blessing, as he or she can influence the crowd. They can make a positive
change and make the world a better place. The best quality of being an actor is
that they are made for the people, they are the entertainers."
