GAURAV SINGH tells JYOTHI VENKATESH of bollyy.com in this first and exclusive interview of his

What made you take acting as a career?

As a child I was very fond of dance. I was part of many dance dramas too. They were mythological dance dramas in which I always used to play the demon. During Christmas I used to be asked by people in my neighborhood to dress up as a Santa Claus and visit old age homes. Though I use to do all of this for free the kind of joy it brought me was overwhelming. So as a career I chose a job which made me happy and at the same satiated my soul.

Are you not aware that acting is very insecure as a career?

Well I don't see it that way. I think everything is secure or insecure depending on your perception. I feel at home as an actor and that’s most important for me.

Who is your role model in films?

I think as an actor it's important how you conduct yourself both on and off camera.

Mr Amitabh Bachchan is my role model as his integrity, honesty and hard work are Inspiration for me to keep working hard. He is a great human being and an extraordinary actor.

Which are the films you have done till date?

I have done just one Hindi Film -The Last Supper and one Telugu film- Premachittam

Besides films, are you also open to working in short films, and web series?

Yes why not? It all depends on the content and the director.

Which are the directors in your wish list?

I like the works of Zoya Akhtar, Imtiaz Ali, Meghna Gulzar , Sujeet  Sarkar , Anurag Basu, Anurag Kashyap etc.

What is your approach to acting? Do you believe in Method or spontaneous acting?

It all depends on the character and my sub conscious mind. For me, it’s a mix of both and a few more things that I have discovered with time. I call them my own method and I feel it’s too early for me to share them.

Are you game to act in regional films?

Yes, I would love to work in regional cinema with great content. As an actor it would be fuel to my soul and will also help me in cementing my place in the heart of the people

Who are your favorite actors and actresses?

There all lot of them. I think everyone has work hard and been an inspiration to me. I love the work of Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Vidya Balan, Tapsee Pannu, Rajkummar Rao, Vicky Kaushal etc.

You made your debut with stage . What did it teach you?

Stage taught me the importance of discipline in an actor’s life.

Do you think acting can be taught? Did you learn acting? If yes, where and from whom?

How was your experience of working in Times Now show-.Emergency 10666?

Sailar Shaikh directed Emergency 10,666 produced by Amar JyotIt was great .My director and producer encouraged my creative process to shape up my character which made the entire experience enriching.

How did you bag the role and what kind of preparation did you do?

Well it was an English show. I don't even remember how many times the production house asked me for re auditioning as they were stuck between me and the other actor for this very part. Finally, the channel came in and I was selected.

What is the difference between the stage, television and films?

In every medium you have to believe in what you are doing. I don't find much difference as far as acting is concerned. On stage you have do same scene again and again. To make it fresh and enjoyable you have to motivate yourself and try to discover something new with every show. Television is very technical and exhausting. A film gives you a lot of time to do preparation for each scene and the outcome is great.

What was your role in Last Supper?

It is a movie based on extra marital affair directed by Sanjeev Mahapatro, with Rajesh Jais, Aishwarya Sharma. I have an illicit affair with a married woman. My character is very self conscious which makes it funny and relatable.

How open are you to expose yourself or being nude in a film or web series?

Well.Why Not? If the character demands it, I am game. My character should feel at home with exposing but will never go nude for the sake of being a part of a soft porn content.
