The actor is now all set to embark on a new journey with a lead role Shaurya in Star Plus’ ‘Shaurya Aur Anokhi Ki Kahani’.
In conversation with IWMBuzz.com, Karanvir spoke about his new show and more. Read on:
What prompted you to take up this show?
The character of Shaurya intrigued me and to portray something like this would be actually challenging. Hence, I was excited to take up the challenge. Also, there are many layers to this character and we rarely see a male-centric role getting various dimensions on TV to perform as an actor. In fact, I feel it is one of the best roles that I have been offered so far.
What makes the show so unique from others?
The show enlightens the story of a woman of today’s generation who speaks her mind and is not scared of anyone. It also fights the patriarchal system. I think this would be an interesting concept for the audiences to watch.
Is there any similarity between your character and you? What are your personal thoughts on woman empowerment?
There are absolutely no similarities between me and my character, besides the fact that we both wear spectacles, suits, are Punjabis. Women have played a very important part in my career, upbringing. I have been raised not only my mother but also my aunt. I think women can’t even be compared with men. Women are physically and mentally superior to men so there is no question that women are the better humans.
How have you evolved as an actor?
I feel acting is such a thing that you are constantly adapting or evolving with circumstances. I like taking up difficult roles. I believe that I have been more evolved than yesterday as I understand the medium better. I really want to thank Anupam Kher and Mr. Suraj, who was one of my teachers and gave me valuable tips. I really feel that the foundation is very important. I would also like to tell all the actors that learn to edit, as editing helps you graph your character much better.
Who do you consider as your inspiration?
I get inspired by many things, be it a situation or people. However, the greatest inspiration is my father in my life and career. I am thankful to him and at the same time aspire to become like him.
Finally, your message to your fans…
I would like to tell them that please support and love us. This character will blow their mind, so I want them to watch the show and shower their love.
