Talented actor Bakhtiyaar Irani needs no introduction. The actor, who has been in the industry for more than a decade now, is all set to play an out-and-out negative character for the first time in Sony SAB’s Wagle Ki Duniya: Nayi Peedhi Naye Kissey.
Bakhtiyaar will play a famous fashion photographer of an advertising firm in the show. He will be seen impressing girls with his charm and attractive looks. Sakhi who ends up in the advertising firm in a desperate situation crosses paths with Mr. Paul. In an exclusive conversation with IWMBuzz.com, Bakhtiyaar spoke about his cameo, show, and more.
How was your experience shooting with the team?
It has been from 2005 to 2022 that I know Hats Off Productions. I and Tanaaz have both worked with them in a lot of shows. I believe, Hats Off is the only production house that believes that Bakhtiyaar is a very good actor. I don’t know why others can’t see that. The experience has always been homely with them. I don’t feel like going to sets. Hence, the experience has been amazing.
What made you say yes to the show?
I cannot say no to the production house. As I completely trust them and I know that the role would be good and they will offer me something amazing. The second thing is I have a long association with Sony Sab and the production house so I couldn’t refuse to do a show with them. My character name Paul, which is an out-and-out negative character, was very challenging and different. I have never played a nasty guy on-screen. So this is something new and exciting for me to perform on-screen.
Any special preparation you did for your role?
I have worked with fashion photographers like Jitu Savlani and Dabboo Ratnani. They are down-to-earth people but they know they are the best. Their attitude and walk prove that they are the best. This was something that I picked up for my character. The script was given to me way before time so I had time to prepare for the role. I consciously kept my phone away to keep myself intact with the role. For this character, I had to get into its element. I put in conscious efforts to get into the skin of it and stay like that till all rehearsals and shots were over.
You recently suffered an injury, fans are worried for you, can you give a health update for them?
I suffered a rotator cuff injury on my left shoulder. I was playing cricket and fell on my left shoulder. My muscles just snapped and my biceps were torn. I am in a sling and would start physiotherapy. Thank you all for your wishes.
