Randeep Rai started early working in his career but there’s absolutely zero element of doubt when it comes to the fact that his major turnaround happened with Sony TV’s Yeh Un Dinon Ki Baat Hai. His character of Sameer Maheshwari was extremely loved by the audience and he became a rage. When IWMBuzz asked about his journey so far, quarantine plans, and other stuff, Randeep was certainly at his candid best. Read the conversation here below
Randeep, what do you think became the reason for YUDKBH to be such a hit?
Well, I think it has to be the script, and at times it’s difficult to point out a reason as to what works and what doesn’t. But then I am certainly fortunate and blessed that the show worked and it was appreciated by so many people. I am thankful to each one of them. It played a big part in my life.
What about your quarantine routine? How has it changed?
Well, not much has changed, to be honest. I am trying to keep it as disciplined as possible. Working out a lot and trying to be in my best shape possible.
Yes, we can certainly see that by your shirtless photos on Instagram. Any comments on that?
(Laughs) Well, I remember I lost a bit of a track with my physique earlier and I was very upset about it. So now that I am getting the opportunity and time to earn it back, why not? One’s body is like his or her own temple. We need to take care of ourselves irrespective of whatever we do. Health is always the first priority.
Lastly, a lot of compliments come your way for your hair. How much do you enjoy them?
Well, as per the script requirement, I had to keep long hair but then later there came a time when there was a need to get it chopped off. I remember requesting the team too if we can do without doing that too much (Chuckles) Lovely memories certainly.
