“I wasn’t ready at that time to get into such an important role.
#MAHABHARAT SERIAL ARJUN SERIAL#
The serial took more than one-and-a-half years to get on the floors, but Shaheer says that was a good thing. The majority population of our country is below 25 years and hasn’t seen the earlier Mahabharat, so it will come as something fresh.” He agrees that acting in this Mahabharat was a risk, “but as an actor I cannot do the same thing always. “He was so close to Krishna and my favourite moment is when Krishna gives him the Geeta ka gyaan.” “All of them are very strong but Arjun is as close as a human being can be to God. I wanted to play Arjun the way he must have felt in all the situations rather than what has been played already.”Īrjun is his favourite character in the epic followed by Bhishma, Yuddhishtir and Karan. I read about Arjun and made a sketch in my mind of the way I look at him. “I wanted my character to be as real as possible. He did not want to be influenced by any other interpretation of the character. Shaheer didn’t watch B R Chopra’s Mahabharat. Though it’s definitely a hard task, I am really enjoying it.” Image: Shaheer Sheikh “Along with this I appointed a Hindi tutor to improve my vocabulary and diction. I'm also honing my skills in archery, horse-riding and sword fighting. “I've learnt ancient ways of combat like cane fighting. He had to work on his body language, stunts and dialect. Now I rise early to work out on my body and I keep a check on my diet too.” “Playing Arjun has brought discipline into my life. He had to adopt a more disciplined lifestyle, and cut down on outings and food habits. “The show gave me sleepless nights but the character of Arjun really attracted me and I was ready to put in my best efforts to play the part to the best of my ability.” There was no chance of refusal it was a lifetime opportunity for me,” says the actor. “I like to take up challenges and this role was one of the most challenging.
