I always shy away from my birthdays : Rohit Bhardwaj

Actors in the tinsel town are always busy when it comes to celebrating their birthdays. But there is someone who is always shying away from his birthday every year. We are talking about actor Rohit Bhardwaj who played the character of Yudhistir in Swastik Productions Mahabharat. Rohit will be celebrating his birthday on 30th January. When asked about the celebration Rohit says,"I am someone who  always run away from my birthday celebrations. I will do a Rudrabhishek in my office as I am a firm believer of Lord Shiva. So a puja in the office I feel is a must on birthday and then will try to spend some quality time with my daughter. And will go for a quiet dinner." So what gift you want to give yourself this birthday? Rohit says,"A lot of work. Because currently I am working on something which people will come to know shortly." Rohit came back from Indonesia couple of years back after a fruitful career abroad. He has got oodles of love and fan following there. Since then he is working on something which he is going to reveal soon. On being asked what is the philosophy of his life he says, "Live and let live. It's nice to be important but it is more important to be nice. Firm determination and following your heart matters "

Ask him how important are good looks for an actor, and he says, "I think looks is just a perception, the actor should know his work properly and there are many examples to prove this. Good looks get more fans but at the end of the day, you should know acting. If you are giving your 100% to the character then ultimately you become good looking. This is what I think and I believe." Talking about his future plans, Rohit says that he is looking out for different content. "I don't want to do Saas Bahu shows anymore. I prefer to do realistic work. Maybe if a show like 24 comes along, I might take it up," he says.

Speaking about that she says, "We have been receiving so much love and warmth for the last couple of years, it is truly amazing. But recently when I got a call from Pandit Yashraj's nephew and he told me that Panditji is a big admirer of Bhabiji and wanted to meet me, I couldn't control my emotions. It was an overwhelming experience for me and my team. I met him, kissed his hand and offered my respect and gratitude. I was in a different world altogether. A life changing experience it was. Getting his blessings for my show is a special feeling. He shared he never misses a single episode of Bhabiji and says he likes everything about the show. I am grateful to almighty that this show gave me an opportunity to meet the legend. I met him many years back as I know his daughter Durga Yashraj. But this meeting is special and unforgettable." Actor Rohitash Gaud and writer of the show Manoj Santoshi also accompanied her.

Akashdeep caught in a web

Actor producer director Akashdeep is overwhelmed with the response to BREATHE, the Amazon web series for which he collaborated with Vikram Malhotra and Abundantia. “A journey that goes back more than two years”, he says. And worth every bit of it. He is also super thrilled at the massive promotion by Amazon. Akashdeep will also collaborate on MEN WHO KILLED GANDHI, DANGEROUS MINDS and ofcourse BREATHE season 2 with Abundantia and Vikram Malhotra. “Vikram’s passion is unmatchable. There is no one better than him. His contribution in curating from an idea to a finished product is unmatchable.” Besides these shows, he is also in advanced talks with two other platforms for other long format shows. When asked what other exciting stuff is he doing, he smiled and mentioned that he is getting some exciting offers as an actor!. “I’ve just done an ad campaign for a very very very big world brand. The ad film hits the stands around February. Wait and watch. We can’t reveal anything as yet. It was great fun working with an international crew”.

I’m regularly getting TV and film offers and I’m amused at this sudden interest in everyone looking at me when they want to cast a fat rich 50 year old punjabi!!!

Akashdeep is also back at doing what he has done all over the world for over a decade in the 90s, Events.

He curated the Sonu Nigam act in the just concluded Reliance founders day event and is doing some more mega events in 2018.

When asked what brings him on all NEWS platforms so regularly these days, debating on various headlines, he says “I’ve been India’s top debator in my college days and I guess that germ still exists somewhere.

When my favourite news anchor Arnab Goswami asked me to join him on a debate post the Sikh issue with Santa Banta, I jumped with excitement. I guess I must have done a good job of it because soon I started getting calls from every news channel on various issues.And I am enjoying every bit of it.

Does that leave any time for directing a film post Santa Banta, we asked him.

“See making a movie has become very tough these days. Most of us ended up making the middle kind of cinema as I call it. Neither a film with an A lister, neither an outta box experimental film. Hence I call them  middle kinda films.

That time and stage is incidently over now. It’s gotcha be a Big film, or an out of the box kinda film. Like Newton, Lipstick under my burka, Anarkali Of Aara kinds.

I’ve worked out what I want to do next and hopefully will do it in the later part of this year, time Permitting. And yes, that too hopefully with Vikram whom I trust blindly. I allready have enough on my plate for 2018”, says Akashdeep.
