'THANKFULLY, I'M NOT FAMOUS'

When you are a celebrity, fame is a byproduct.

- 

This is especially true for actors.

But Adarsh Gourav likes to maintain a low-key life.

After his star performance in The White Tiger and winning act in the Netflix show Guns And Gulabs, Adarsh is steadily garnering his fandom.But the actor insists on being anonymous.

“It’s nice to be anonymous because you can go about your day more peacefully. When you are preparing for parts, you can do your process the way you want to. Once you start getting recognised, you can’t do the things that normal people can,”

How did Guns And Gulaabs happen to you?

I got a call from the casting director and they asked me to meet Raj & DK.

They narrated the story briefly, told me about my character and asked me whether I would be interested in playing it.

I was quite stunned because, for the first time, I was being offered a character without auditioning.

I said yes because I was equally excited about working with Raj & DK.

What was your brief for this character?

They told me the beginning, middle and end of my character arc.

After reading the script and many discussions with Raj & DK, I started realising that Jugnu (his character) was born into so much privilege that he doesn’t know what boundaries are.

What also struck me about him was the fact that there are no female figures in his immediate environment.

No mother, no sisters.

That sort of sensitivity and empathy that he comes with is completely different.

What did you discover about Raj & DK’s film-making style?

They are very different from each other and yet make such great partners.
