New Delhi: Rrahul Sudhir who’s winning hearts as Vansh Raisinghania opposite Helly Shah in Ishq Mein Marjawan 2 on Colors TV was thinking of quitting acting and settling in Dehradun right before the show was offered to him.
The actor who was an engineer by profession before he decided to pursue his passion in acting, made his small screen debut with Rajaa Betaa. However, things did not go as planned and the actor revealed in an interview with Mid Day how he had made a decision on leaving showbiz.
“Right before I was offered Ishq Mein Marjawan, I was packing my bags to leave Mumbai. I was contemplating what my next step will be once I head back home to Dehradun. While I had faced dejection earlier too, it had never left me [defeated]. But this time, I was sure I didn’t want anything to do with acting. I went to Goa for a holiday when I got a call from the creative director for this show and I insisted on playing Vansh,” he told the tabloid.
Ishq Mein Marjawan 2 on Colors narrates the story of Vansh Raisinghania, a business tycoon involved in illegal activities, and Riddhima (Helly Shah), a physiotherapist. The show has been garnering positive response from the audience and has made Vansh and Riddhima household names.
Rrahul says that as a television actor the challenge is to make the storyline believable even when the twists and turns are unrealistic.
“Television scripts keep changing, and the characters alter over time. The initial pillars that you build your character on get diluted in the ocean of changes. One fine day, you wonder what you have been doing. We have to make do with our reality and ensure that the scene is believable at the end of the day, even though we might find it funny,” he was quoted by Mid Day as saying.
Sudhir also spoke about how being an artiste he is open to challenges and knows where to draw the line.
“I can go shirtless, but the woman should not [expose too much]. At the back of my mind, I know my mother will be watching this and I don’t want her to feel uncomfortable. Also, I will not do rape sequences on screen. People look up to me. If I portray such a scene, they may think it is okay to force themselves on a woman. Unknowingly, I don’t want to mislead people. You have to be responsible for what you do on screen,” he added.
