My show ‘Prem Ya Paheli? – Chandrakanta’ has taught me a lot – Gaurav Khanna

He has been receiving a lot of appreciation for his role from his fans..

Actor Gaurav Khanna, who plays the role of Prince Virendra in Prem Ya Paheli – Chandrakanta produced by Nikhil Sinha (Triangle Film Company), says that he has been getting great feedback for his role.

“I am getting an amazing feedback. I have never done a costume drama before and people are simply loving me. Whoever is watching the show, has told me that are enjoying it. And most of all, I am enjoying playing this character,” he says.

However, preparing for his character was challenging and tricky, says Gaurav.

“It was a new thing for me. I had to do rigorous homework and training and completely dedicate my time to this character. I started my training one month prior to the shoot. I used to get bruised every day while doing action sequences. But along with that, I got to learn new things,”

Now, it only takes a lot of time to get ready, from wearing the wig to the costume and makeup. That is really difficult, especially when you have to change costumes in between and rush for the next scene. It takes almost an hour to get ready. It is difficult, but it feels good to get the opportunity to transform yourself as an actor,” he says.

Apart from getting ready and getting the body language right, shooting the entire day in elaborate costumes can be challenging. “It is a very taxing role. You have the wear the heavy costume the whole day. If you are wearing the wig you cannot lie down. You have to sit all day. But I am used to it now because it has been more than three months,” he quips.

He has been getting a lot of appreciation for his role from his fans too where they tell him that nobody could justify the role of Prince Virendra better than him.

“It is really heartwarming to know that I am doing something like this for the first time and people are loving it. I am really grateful that I have the support of my fans,” he thanks.

Kudos Gaurav!
